Cardiac embryo Flashcards
Paradoxical emboli
ASD, patent foramen ovale
Formed by AP septum and endocardial cushions
Membranous part of ventricular septum
Fossa ovalis
Remnant of foramen ovale
Steps in atrial septation
Septum primum grows toward enodcardial cushions –> formamen primum closes –> formen secundum formed in septum primum –> septum secundum forms –> covers most of foramen secundum –> residual foramen is foramen ovale –> remaining portion of septum primum forms valve of foramen ovale –> spetum secundum and primum fuse to form atrial septum –> foramen ovale closes after birth
Congenital rubella
PDA, pulmonary artery stenosis, septal defects
Marfan
Aortic regurg, thoracic aortic dissection/aneurysm, MVP
Umbilical arteries
Medial umbilical ligament
Ligamentum teres hepatis
Remnant of umbilical vein (contained in falciform ligament)
Bicuspid aortic valve
Turner syndrome
Aortic regurg
Marfan
Atrial septum
Fusion of septum primum and septum secundum
VSD
FAS
Where does EPO take place in a neonate?
Bone marrow; liver stops producing at birth
Why does PGE2 decrease after birth, precipitating closure of the foramen ovale?
Placental separation
Down syndrome
ASD (ostium secundum)
VSD
AV valve defect (endocardial cushion defect)
Diabetic mom
Transposition of great vessels
Why does fetal hemoglobin have a much higher affinity for oxygen?
Less avid binding of 2,3-BPG
Rx to close PDA
Indomethacin (inhibits PG-mediated patency)
Preductal coarctation of aorta
Turner syndrome
Primitive atria
Trabeculated part of atria
Pulmonary artery stenosis, PDA, septal defects
Congenital rubella
Trabeculated part of ventricles
Primitive ventricles
Transposition of great vessels
Diabetic mom
Rx to keep patent forman ovale
PGE2
SVC
Right common cardinal vein and left anterior cardinal vein
Steps in ventricular septation
Muscular septum forms –> creates interventricular septum –> AP septum forms and creates membranous portion of interventricular septum –> endocardial cushions separate ventricles from atria and contribute to membranous part of interventricular foramen and atrial septum
Forms valves
Endocardial cushions
Right horn on sinus venosus
Smooth part of right atrium
Separates atria and ventricles
Endocardial cushion
Turner syndrome
Bicuspid aortic valve, preductal coarctation of aorta
Neural crest
Endocardial cushions
Fusion of septum primum and septum secundum
Atrial septum
MVP
Marfan
