ASD, VSD
DiGeorge is associated with what heart defect
aortic arch anomalies, tetralogy
Downs is associated with what heart defect
AV canal, AV septal defects, VSD
Marfan is associated with what heart defect
aortic root dissection, MVP
Noonan is associated with what heart defect
PS, ASD
Turner is associated with what heart defect
Coarc of the aorta
Williams is associated with what heart defect
Supravalvular stenosis
What are the s/s of CHF? (13)
- Increased resp rate
- poor feeding
- reduced exercise intolerance
- chronic cough
- tachycardia
- organomegaly
- pallor
- mottling
- puffy eyelids
- decreased pulses
- wheezes, rales
- poor weight gain
- cyanosis
What are the major characteristics of tetralogy of Fallot? (4)
- 4 defects = pulmonary stenosis, VSD, overriding aorta, RVH
- harsh ejection murmur with a thrill
- x-ray = boot shaped heart (you wear in the fall)
- TET spells, often in the AM, acute increase in cyanosis with hypernea, leads to limpness, IOC, rarely convulsions
What are major characteristics of transposition of the great vessels? (4)
- Single S1, loud or slightly split S2
- Can have murmur from VSD or PS
- When PDA closes = symptoms (ductal dependent)
- X-ray = egg on string
what are the major characteristics of tricuspid atresia? (3)
- Absent tricuspid valve and underdevelopment right ventricle
- single S1
- Ductal dependent
What are the characteristics of pulmonary atresia? (2)
- no pulmonary valve
2. under-developed right ventricle
Describe the characteristics of a pathologic murmur (6)
- murmur in patient with genetic syndrome
- Diastolic murmur, systolic murmur with thrill or click continuous murmurs that cannot be altered
- Fixed splitting of s2, loud s2 or s4
- High grade
- Harsh in sound
- Radiation
Describe characteristics of an innocent murmur (5)
- usually low grade and will change with positioning
- will vary from visit to visit and with fever, anemia, excitement
- musical or vibratory in sound
- usually systolic, rarely radiation
- Normal VS, EKG, health status
Describe a venous hum (4)
- continuous supraclavicular
- disappears when lying down or turning head
- Constant, swishing sound, soft, no radiation
- On the right upper side of chest
