cardiac anomalies Flashcards
cardiac anomalies are the most common type of fetal anomaly
true/false
true
what are the maternal risk factors?
maternal cardiac defects
metabolic disorders
what are the common types of metabolic disorders?
insulin dependent diabetics (type 1)
phenylketonuria (PKU)
teratogen exposure
-litium, alcohol, anticonvulsants
what are some fetal risk factors?
fetal arrhythmia extracardiac anomaly chromosomal abnormalities structural abnormality nonimmune hydrops polyhydramnios increased nuchal translucency twin gestation
what are some familial risk factors?
previously affected child paternal/maternal heart disease mendelian syndromes - tuberous sclerosis - noonan syndrome - holt-oram syndrome - ellis van creveld syndrome
what are the different types of beart abnormalities?
- atrial septum defects
- ventricular septal defects (VSD)
- atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD)
- transposition of great arteries (TGA)
- truncus arteriosus
- double outlet right ventricle
- tetralogy of fallot (TOF)
- ebstein anomaly
- hypoplastic ventricle
- rhabdomyoma
- anomalous pulmonary venous connection
- heterotaxy
- ectopic cordis
what are the 3 types if atrial septal defects?
secundum
sinus venosus
primum
what atrial septal defect in the most common?
a. sinus venosus
b. secundum
c. inlet
d. primum
b. secundum
where would a sinus venosus defect be located?
posterior to the foramen ovale
where would a primum defect be located?
immediately above the atrioventricular valves
what are the different types of ventricular septal defects (VSD)?
perimembranous VSDs
muscular VSDs
inlet defect
what is the best way to detect a ventricular septal defect?
color doppler
what else can an atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) be referred to as?
endocardial cushion defect
AV canal defect
where is the atrioventricular septal defect located?
in the central part of the heart
what are some other anomalies associated with AVSD?
- tetralogy of fallot
- double outlet right ventricle
- coarctation of the aorta
- subaortic stenosis
- ventricular hypoplasia
- pulmonary valve stenosis
what is the transposition of great arteries (TGA)?
the aorta arises from the right ventricle & the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle.
what are some associated anomalies with TGA?
patent ductus arteriosus
patent foramen ovale
ventricular septal defect
what is the sonographic appearance of TGA?
4CH view will appear normal ; 2 great vessels do NOT criss cross but arise PARALLEL from the base of the heart.
what is truncus arteriosus?
single arterial vessel that arises from the base of the heart & typically overrides the ventricular system, involving both systemic & pulmonary circulation
what is the sonographic appearance of truncus arteriosus?
- 4CH view will appear normal
- truncal root overrides
- pulmonary arteries must be seen to differentiate
- can mimic tetralogy of fallot w/ pulmonary atresia
what does FISH stand for?
fluorescent in situ hybridization ; analysis for chromosome 22q11 detection
FISH is not associated with truncus arteriosus
true/false
false; it is
what is double outlet right ventricle?
both great arteries arise from he morphologic right ventricle; the arrangement of the great arteries may vary: normal, inverted, transposed or side by side.
what other cardiac anommalies are associated with double outlet right ventricle?
- hypoplastic left ventricle
- atrioventricular valve abnormalities
- VSDs
- single ventricle anatomy with both great arteries arising from a small right ventricle
