18
Q

Examination reveals a right ventricular heave; a wide and fixed, split S2; and a systolic ejection murmur at the left upper sternal border (from ↑ flow across the pulmonary valve). There may also be a mid-diastolic rumble at the left lower sternal border.

A

ASD

19
Q

ASD ECG ABD CXR findings

A

ECG may show RVH and right atrial enlargement. PR prolongation is common.
CXR reveals cardiomegaly and ↑ pulmonary vascular markings.

20
Q

Failure of the ductus arteriosus to close in the first few days of life, leading to an acyanotic left-to-right shunt from the aorta to the pulmonary artery. Risk factors include maternal first-trimester rubella infection, prematurity, and female gender

A

Patent ductus arteriosus

21
Q

In infants presenting in a shocklike state within the first few weeks of life, look for:

A
  1. Sepsis
  2. Inborn errors of metabolism
  3. Ductal-dependent congenital heart disease, usually left-sided lesions (as the ductus is closing)
  4. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
22
Q

Examination reveals a continuous “machinery murmur” at the second left intercostal space at the sternal border, a loud S2, wide pulse pressure, and bounding peripheral pulses.

A

patent Ductus arteriosus

23
Q

Indomethacin is to ____ Pda

A

Come IN and CLOSE the door: give INdomethacin to CLOSE a PDA.

24
Q

Constriction of a portion of the aorta, leading to ↑ flow proximal to and ↓ flow distal to the coarctation.

A

Coarctation of the aorta

25
Q

Most common site of coarctation

A

Occurs just below the left subclavian artery in 98% of patients

26
Q

More than two-thirds of patients have a bicuspid aortic valve.

A

Coarctation

27
Q

Coarctation of the aorta

A

The condition is associated with Turner’s syndrome, berry aneurysms, and male gender.

28
Q

Heart defects that require a patent PDA for survival

A

transposition of the great vessels
tetralogy of Fallot
hypoplastic left heart
Critical coarctation

29
Q

Differential cyanosis may be seen with lower O₂ saturation in the left arm and lower extremities (postductal areas) as compared to the right arm (preductal area).

A

Coarctation of the aorta

30
Q

CXR and ECG of coarctation

A

LVH on ECG
the “3” sign on CXR due to pre- and postdilatation of the coarctation segment with aortic wall indentation
“rib notching” due to collateral circulation through the intercostal arteries

31
Q

Without a septal defect (ASD or VSD) and a PDA, it is incompatible with life

The most common cyanotic congenital heart lesion in the newborn

A

TGA

32
Q

Examination reveals tachypnea, progressive hypoxemia, and extreme cyanosis. Some patients have signs of CHF, and a single loud S2 is often present. There may not be a murmur if no VSD is present. If a VSD is present, a systolic murmur may be heard at the left sternal border.

A

TGA

33
Q

DiGeorge syndrome—

CATCH 22

A

Cardiac abnormalities (transposition)

Abnormal facies

Thymic aplasia

Cleft palate

Hypocalcemia

22q11 deletion

34
Q

CXR may show a narrow heart base, absence of the main pulmonary artery segment, an “egg-shaped silhouette,” and ↑ pulmonary vascular markings

A

TGA

35
Q

__________ is the most common cyanotic heart disease of newborns
__________ is the most common cyanotic heart disease of childhood

A

TGA

TOF

36
Q

Tetralogy of Fallot components

A

Consists of pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, RVH, and VSD

37
Q

Children often squat for relief during hypoxemic episodes called “tet spells,” which ↑ systemic vascular resistance.

A

TOF

38
Q

CXR shows a “boot-shaped” heart with ↓ pulmonary vascular markings. Remember that a VSD may result in ↑ pulmonary vascular markings.
ECG shows right-axis deviation and RVH.

A

TOF

39
Q

Treat hypercyanotic “tet spells” with

A

O₂, propranolol, phenylephrine, the knee-chest position, fluids, and morphine.

40
Q

Infants with FTT will first fall off of the ______ curve, then the ______ curve, and finally the _______ curve.

A

Infants with FTT will first fall off of the weight curve, then the height curve, and finally the head circumference curve.
