Cardiac embryology and congenital heart disease II Flashcards
which gender more likely to have severe congenital cardiovascular malformation
boys
risk factor for congenital cardiovascular malformation
maternal diabetes
fhx of cardiac defect in parent/sibling
if maternal diabetes how do you screen for congenital CV malformation
fetal echo
Types of ASD
1) secundum ASD
2) sinus venosus ASD
embyrological basis of secundum ASD
either
) too large central hole (ostium secundum) in septum primum
or
1) inadequate development of septum secundum
what is PAPVR
sinus venosus ASD with partial anomalous pulm veins
magnitude and direction of shunt in ASD depends on (2)
1) size of defect
2) inflow resistance to RV vs LV
what type of shunt across an ASD
left to right
why left to right shunt across ASD
LA pressure higher than RA pressure
LA and RA pressure equalize if ASD large
when would ASD shunts be left to right
1) RV thinner and compliance greater than LV (normal)
or
1) systemic vascular resistance > pulm vascular resistance
why does ASD rarely present in infancy
LV and RV myocardium similar after birth
similar inflow resistance, minimal atrial level shunt –> min sx
as get older, pulm vascular resistance decr, RV wall thin —> get left to right shunting incr
physical exam of ASD
small defect with no/minimal shunt OR NEONATE
1) depends on degree of shunting
normal exam
physical exam of ASD
large defect
1) rales
2) sweating with feed but maybe asymptomatic
3) liver 2-3 cm below right costal margin
physical exam of ASD
large defect
murmur
2-3/6 systolic ejection murmur at left upper sternal border
and/or diastolic rumble at left lower sternal border
S2 widely split
murmur ____ related to blood flowing across defect
NOT b/c pressure differential too small
why do you have systolic murmur with ASD
XS blood flow across pulm valve
why do you have diastolic rumble with ASD
XS blood flow in diastole across tricuspid
what causes physiologic S2 split
inspiration
negative intrathoracic pressure, incr right heart filling, delay RV empty
what causes S2 split in ASD
RV volume overload –> delayed RV empty
ECG of ASD
Right axis deviation
RVH (rsR’ or qR in V1/V2)
if you see
RAD
RVH
what abnormality
ASD
how to diagnose ASD
1) CXR
large main pulm artery
prominent pulm vascular markings
2) echo (size, location, magnitude of shunt)
progression of ASD
undetected in childhood
risk of hemodynamically significant ASD
- pulm vasc disease
- atrial arrhythmia
- cardiac failure
describe pulm vascular disease (sx of ASD)
high pulm blood flow
more common and earlier age at higher altitudes
