Q

what happens to the fetal heart at birth? 3 things.. what constricts ductus arteriosis, and closes foramen ovale?

A
  1. Mechanical expansion of lungs and increased arterial PO2 decreases pulmonary vascular restrictive
  2. Over several days the increased PaO2 constricts the ductus arteriosis
  3. The increased plmonary blood flow returning to left atrium increases pressure in LA leading to closure of PFO.

103
Q

what is VSD

A

opening in the ventrical

104
Q

what happens in the VSD?

A

-L –>R shunt because of low pulmonary vascular resistance
-Increased pulmonary blood flow - Increased pressure
-Pulmonary venous congestion
Left sided overload (enlargement) and hypertrophy – back up of flow.
-Pulmonary hypertension
- Primarily right sided problem

105
Q

What are VSD symotoms and at inc risk for what?

A
Congestive heart failure
Poor growth
Shortness of breath/Increased respiratory effort
Easy fatigue
Recurrent respiratory infections
106
Q

what are clinical findings of VSD? growth, resp, precordial, murmors?

A
Growth and development may be delayed
Respiratory effort and heart rate may be increased if heart failure
Precordial activity may be “bounding”
Holosystolic murmur –holosystolic, harsh
LLSB, +/- thrill
Systemic and pulmonary venous congestion
107
Q

how do you treat VSD

A
30%  will close spontaneously
Observation
Anti-congestive heart failure medications
diuretics
Fortified diet
Surgery (open heart defect)
108
Q
Endocardial cushion defect
AV valve insufficiency
