CARDIOLOGY Flashcards
The most common type of ASD
ostium secundum (50-70%)
- Systolic ejection murmur at RUSB
- Balloon valvuloplasty
- Ross procedure (valve translocation)
Aortic stenosis
- nonpruritic serpiginous or annular erythematous evanescent rashes most prominent on the trunk and inner proximal portions of the extremities;
- never on the face (disappear on exposure to cold and reappear after a hot shower or if covered with a blanket)
Erythema marginatum
Patency of the ductus arteriosus is dependent on ______
low O2and high prostaglandins
3 sign
Coarctation of the Aorta
Fontan operation: RA to PA; RV is bypassed to oxygenate the blood
Tricuspid Valve Atresia (TVA)
bounding peripheral pulses and widened pulse pressure, continuous “machinery” murmur
PDA
- Pulmonary arteries arise from aorta
- Truncal valve, occasionally quadracuspid, stenotic and/or insufficient overrides the ventricular septal defect
- Ventricular septal defect, large
TRUNCUS ARTERIOSUS
one method of distinguishing cyanotic congenital heart disease from pulmonary disease?
Hyperoxia test
- Norwood Procedure
- Glenn anastomosis
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
hallmark finding is a systolic regurgitant murmurs at the apex with radiation to the left anterior axillary line
MITRAL REGURGITATION
Wide pulse pressure Bounding peripheral arterial pulses Continuous murmur
PDA
Palliative systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt performed to augment pulmonary artery blood flow. For repair of TOF
BLALOCK-TAUSSIG SHUNT
All ____ murmurs are pathologic.
diastolic
MC causative agents of INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
viridans Streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus
- Systolic ejection murmur at 2 nd LICS
- widely split S2
- Right sided enlargement
ASD
• Rashkind Atrial Septostomy
• Jantene Arterial Switch
• Senning and Mustard
TGA
A 13 y/o female patient presents to the clinic with fever and joint pains. It started 3 days ago when she had fever of 38.8°C with right knee swelling, which was warm, and very painful. At present, her right knee pain and swelling has resolved but now her right ankle and left knee is swollen and painful. PE revealed BP 90/60, HR 125, RR 24, T 38.7°C, (+) high pitched apical holosystolic murmur radiating to the axilla. What is the most likely dx in this case?
Rheumatic Fever
* This case mentioned the following main features of rheumatic fever: fever, arthralgia, migratory polyarthritis, systolic regurgitant murmur radiating to the axilla signifying mitral valve regurgitation. A common differential diagnosis is juvenile idiopathic arthritis as both conditions usually present with fever and joint swelling, but the presence of a systolic murmur indicates RF instead.
What is the main pathophysiologic mechanism behind the hypercyanotic spells or Tet spells in TOF?
due to decreased pulmonary blood flow
ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY for ARF
Once the diagnosis of acute RF has been made and regardless of the throat culture results, the patient should receive 10 days of oral Penicillin or Erythromycin or a single IM injection of benzathine Penicillin to eradicate GAS from the upper respiratory tract.
- Rib notching
- Result of increased blood flow through the interthoracic and intercostal vessels which serve as collateral circulation
COARCTATION OF THE AORTA
hallmark PE finding is a high-pitched diastolic murmur loudest at 3 rd -4 th LICS more audible when sitting and leaning forward
• other findings: diastolic thrill at 3rd LICS; hyperdynamic precordium, bounding water hammer pulse or Corrigan pulse, wide pulse pressure
AORTIC REGURGITATION
Inverted E
Coarctation of the Aorta
Fontan Procedure
Tricuspid Atresia
EVIDENCE OF ANTECEDENT GROUP A STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTION: Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titers usually become elevated ______after strep infection, peaks at ______, and decreases after another ______
*a 4-fold rise in titer in 2 samples taken 10 days apart
2 weeks
4-6 weeks
2 weeks
4 anomalies in Tetralogy of Fallot
- VSD
- Pulmonary Stenosis (Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction)
- RVH
- Overriding aorta
Functional closure of the DA occurs by constriction of the medial, smooth muscle in the ductus within_______ after birth.
10-15 hours
