Q

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defect

A
  • General screening by obstetrician in every trimester
  • Fetal echocardiography by pediatric cardiologist
    (if suspicious finding,
    developmental abnormality,
    multiple pregnancies,
    family history of CHD,
    >40 maternal age, maternal IDDM)
    Should be done week 18-22 so that termination of pregnancy is still an option

Q

Tricuspid atresia

A
  • Absent or rudimentary tricuspid valve resulting in no blood flow between RA and RV
  • Patient survival is only possible if there are interatrial or interventricular communications (ASD, VSD)
  • Accompanied by RV hypoplasia and RA dilation due to volume overload

Q

Truncus arteriosus

A
  • Underdevelopment of aorticopulmonary septum
    —> failure of truncus arteriosus to divide into the aorta and pulmonary trunk
    —> instead a single trunk that receives output from both ventricles

*Truncus arteriosus:
single arterial trunk that originates from both ventricles of the embryonic heart and give rise to ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk

*Truncus arteriosus:
single arterial trunk that originates from both ventricles of the embryonic heart and give rise to ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
26
truncus arteriosus is associated with what disease
DiGeorge syndrome
27
Truncus arteriosus effect of oxygenated blood
Results in the mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
28
clinical features of truncus arteriosus
cyanosis respiratory distress failure to thrive, harsh systolic murmur bounding peripheral pulses
29
truncus arteriosus treatment
surgery
30
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Spectrum of disease consisting of severe hypoplasia of left ventricle with possible and/or atresia of the mitral valve, aortic valve, or aortic arch
31
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome associated with which diseases
Associated with Patau syndrome, Edward’s syndrome, Turner syndrome
32
prognosis and treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome
bad prognosis treatment surgery
33
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR)
All four pulmonary veins drain into systemic venous circulation instead of left ventricle —> oxygenated blood returns back to right atrium —> pulmonary edema
34
clinical features of Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR)
cyanosis, respiratory failure, failure to thrive, hepatomegaly
35
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) treatment
surgery
36
Non-cyanotic congenital heart defects Types* :
Left-to-right- shunt: ASD, VSD, AVSD, PDA Obstructive lesions: AS, PS, CoA
37
Atrial septal defect (ASD)
Defect in septum btw atria
38
ASD associated with
Down syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome
39
ASD results in what shunt
left to right shunt
40
auscultation of ASD
split S2 (increased blood in right heart —> delays closure of pulmonary valve —> 2 sounds
41
Paradoxical emboli:
emboli produced in systemic circulation normally go to lungs but can now travel to left heart —> brain) associated with ASD
42
Most common congenital defect of heart
Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
43
VSD associated with
Down syndrome, intrauterine infections (TORCH), maternal diabetes
44
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) what shunt
Results in left-to-right shunt —> dilation of LV since increased preload (blood goes through shunt instead of the periphery —> RV —> lungs —> back to LV)
45
Size of shunt determines
extent of shunting + age of presentation
46
Small VSD defect
—> asymptomatic
47
Large VSD defect —>
can lead to Eisenmenger syndrome (reversal of shunt)
48
treatment of VSD
loop diuretics ACEi, surgery
49
Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) associated with
down syndrome
50
AVSD shunt type
Defect in septum btw atria and ventricles of right and left heart Results in left-to-right shunt —> dilation of heart —> HF + pulmonary HTN treatment: surgery
51
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
ure of ductus arteriosus (connects aorta + pulmonary a.) to close
52
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) associated with
Associated with congenital rubella
53
PDA shunt type
Results in left-to-right shunt * * In utero DA shunts blood in other direction (right-to-left) to bypass lungs * Systemic circulation increases after birth * If DA stays open —> blood shunt the other direction (left-to-right)
54
If DA stays open —>
blood shunt the other direction (left-to-right)
55
in utero Ductus arteriosus function
In utero DA shunts blood in other direction (right-to-left) to bypass lungs
56
PDA has hemodynamically similar effects as
vsd
57
complication of PDA
Eisenmenger syndrome with increasing pulmonary pressure
58
treatment of PDA
indomethacin —> decrease PGE —> close PDA (kept open in utero by placental PGE)
59
Coarctation of aorta (CoA)
Narrowing of aorta * infantile form * adult form
60
Coarctation of aorta (CoA)- infantile form
Associated with PDA * Coarctation lies distal to aortic arch but before PDA * Presents as lower extremity cyanosis
61
Adult form CoA
* Coarctation lies distal to aortic arch ‣ * Presents as hypertension in upper extremities + hypotension in lower extremities * Not associated with PDA
62
which form of CoA is associated with PDA
infantile form Coarctation lies distal to aortic arch but before PDA Presents as lower extremity cyanosis
63
coarctation position in infantile vs adult form of CoA
Coarctation lies distal to aortic arch but before PDA --> lower extremity cyanosis Coarctation lies distal to aortic arch ‣ Presents as hypertension in upper extremities + hypotension in lower extremities
64
what is used for diagnosis of CoA
4 limb pulsoximetry: crucial to check both upper (brachial) and lower (femoral) extremity pulses! —> if decreased in legs: possible coarctation that need to be double checked with saturation and blood pressure
