Cardiology Flashcards
PDA clinically relevant
hemodynamic: LA/LV dilation, MR, hypotension, cardiomegaly
Clinically: feeding intolerance (run off from abdominal aorta ->decrease perfusion to gut), pulmonary edema/hemorrhage, metabolic acidosis, renal injury, perfusion
PDA closure ideal time frame
7-17days
minimum weight for piccolo
750g
PDA closure and UOP
will have decrease UOP due to vasoconstriction. should be >0.8cc/kg to give medicine
wait 5-7 days before initial ECHO to see if some closure takes place
Heart is derived from?
Mesoderm
Heart formation done by 7-8 weeks
Formation of the heart
- Tube formation-day 20 (week 3)
- Looping-day 28 (week 4)
- Separation-day 38-46 (week 6)
most common cyanotic heart disease in 1st week after birth
complete d-TGD
DiGeorge heart defects
Conotruncal defects: ASD/VSD, aortic arch anomalies, trunks arteriosus, TOF
second most common cyanotic heart disease present in 1st wk after birth
-Hypoplastic left heart
-Most common cause of mortality in 1st week after birth
Cyanotic CHD
ToF
Trunks arteriosus
Tricupsid Atresia (Ebstein Anomaly)
TAPVR
Hypoplastic left heart
TGA
Pulmonary Atresia
Slide 20
EKG for Tricuspid Atresia, TOF/TGA, trunks arteriosus
TA: LAD (superior), LVH, small R ventricle forces
TOF/TGA: RAD, RVH
Truncus arteriosus: biventricular hypertrophy
Ebstein Anomaly
Tricuspid valve leaflets are displaced into the RV
“Atrialized” RV wall (those above the leaflets)
TR regurgitation
80% w/ atrial communication R>L shunt
Large heart w/ decrease blood flow
