Cardiology Flashcards
embryology is not included
most congenital heart defects are a result of problems with ..
either septation, rotation, or migration
two classification of congenital heart dz
- acyanotic (left to right shunt)
2. cyanotic (right to left shunt)
2 broad categories of cyanotic CHD
- intra-cardiac defects and obstruction to pulmonary flow
2. admixture of pulmonary and systemic venous return
Physical findings for CHD
1.cyanosis (need 5 mg/dl of de ox blood
2. if anemic, it might be hidden
3. check both upper and lower extremities saturation
4. arterial pulse - absent, bounding, delayed
5-heart sound-S2 split or not, fixed split, murmurs
innocent murmur
- Still’s murmur is a musical/vibratory systolic LSB, not in back, decreased w/expiration/standing
- Physiologic peripheral pulmonic stenosis which is a soft harsh SEM best heard in axillae bilaterally and disappears by 12 MONTHS
- venous hum
Phyisiologic peripheral pulmonic stenosis is a soft harsh SEM best heard in
axillae BILATERALLY
venous hum is a/w
innocent murmur
…is a musical/vibratory systolic LSB, not in back, decreased w/expiration/standing
Still’s murmur
List acyanotic CHD.
PDA, ASD, VSD, atrioventricular canal, coarctation of aorta
most common of all CHD
VSD
murmur in VSD
holosystolic @LLSB, loud if restrictive
PE findings in large VSDs
failure to thrive, tachypnea, GERD
most common defect in down syndrome
VSD
lab findings in VSD
ECG: LVH
CXR: cardiomegaly, increased pulmonary vascular markings
Echo: location, size. pressure gradient, other defects
Cath: if unclear of size and sx , indications for surgery
VSD medical managements
diuretic, ACE, digoxin
indication for surgery in VSD
- unmanageable HF
- failure to med mostly due to failure to thrive, URI, pneumonia
- shunt greater than 1.5-2 w/wo sx
most common type of ASD
secundum ASD
2nd most common CHD
ASD
risk of paradoxical emboli is a/w
ASD
sx of ASD
usually asx, fatigue, palpitation, exercise intolerance
never leave ASD open in … pts
young girls approaching puberty
development of eisnmenger’s is a risk for what CHD
ASD
synonyms of Atrioventricular Septal Defects (AVSD)
endocardial cushion defects, atrioventricular canal defects (AVCD)
types of AVSD
- complete : a.common AV valve b. primum ASD c. inlet VSD
2. Partial: MOST FREQUENT FORM = primum ASD +cleft anterior MV leaflet
most common prenatal dx of CHD
AVSD
AVSD is very common with …what trisomy
21 -down syndrome —usually the complete form
