Cardiology Flashcards
Definition of CHF
inadequate oxygen delivery
What is the most common cause of CHF in older children and adolescents
Viral myocarditis
What is a miscellaneous cause of CHF
severe anemia, causes high-output CHF
Common symptom in newborn for CHF
poor feeding
common symptom in older children and adolescents for CHF
exercise intolerance
last clinical manifestations for CHF
cyanosis and shock
Evidence of systemic venous congestions for CHF
hepatomegaly and peripheral edema
Medical management of CHF
- cardiac glycosides (digoxin)
- loop diuretics (furosemide, ethacrynic acid)
- inotropic medications ( dobutamine, dopamine)
define innocent cardiac heart murmurs
turbulent blood flow not caused by structural heart defect
What confirms anatomic lesions in acyanotic congenital heart disease
echocardiogram
Classifications for atrial septal defect
- Ostium primum
- Ostium secundum
- Sinus venosus
Ostium primum ASD is a common congenital heart lesion in what
Down Syndrome
What is the most common type of ASD
Ostium Secundum
What type of shunt is an ASD
left-to-right shunt
3 PE for ASD
- increased right ventricular impulse
- Systolic ejection murmur ( heard mid and upper left sternal borders)
- Fixed-split second heart sound
Treatment for ASD
closure by open heart surgery
What are 3 innocent heart murmurs
- Still’s murmur
- Pulmonic systolic murmur
- Venous hum
when is Still’s murmur loud
- loudest supine
- louder with exercise
when is pulmonic systolic murmur loud
- loudest supine
- louder with exercise
when is venous hum heard
- heard only when sitting or standing
- disappears if supine
where does right pulmonary veins drain in sinus venosus
into right atrium or SVC instead of into left atrium
patients with ostium primum might develop what
mitral regurgitation
The amount of blood shunted in a VSD depends on what 2 things
- size of VSD
2. pulmonary vascular resistance
as the size of the VSD decreases, the intensity of the murmur
increases
besides a holosystolic murmur being heard on a moderate and large VSD, what else can be heard and where
diastolic murmur of mitral turbulence
- apex
if PVR remains elevated, pulmonary hypertension reversible
no
shunting changes from left-to-right to right-to-left
Eisenmenger syndrome
what does the PDA connect
pulmonary artery to aorta
what is used un premature infants to close PDA medically
Indomethacin
if the left-to-right shunt is large enough in PDA, what is heard
- diastolic rumble across mitral valve
- widened pulses
- brisk pulses
Neonates or infants with severe coarctation may depend on what
PDA (right-to-left)
symptoms of coarctation of the heart in older children in adolescents
- hypertension in right arm
- blood pressure reduced in lower extremities
what happens to femoral pulse in coarctation of the heart
dampened and delayed after radial pulse ( radiofemoral delay)
what valve problem is associated with coarctation of the heart
biscupid aortic valve
what initial medications are given to coarctation of the heart
- intravenous prostaglandin E
- Inotropic medications
therapy of choice for recurrent coarctation
balloon angioplasty
other children symptoms of aortic stenosis
- no symptoms
- exercise intolerance, chest pain, syncope, sudden death
intervention for aortic stenosis
- surgery with insufficiency and 5-10 years after palliative balloon valvuloplasty
- Ross procedure: valve replaced
severe pulmonary stenosis in neonate may show up as
right-to-left shunting
clinical features of pulmonary stenosis in older children
symptoms are absent
Management for pulmonary stenosis
balloon vavluloplasty
Xray shows rib notching
coarctation of the heart
most common cardiac causes of central cyanosis
Tetralogy of Fallot Transposition of great arteries Tricuspid atresia Truncus arteriosus Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Most common cause of central cyanosis
Tetralogy of Fallot
Define Tetralogy of Fallot
- VSD
- overriding aorta
- pulmonary stenosis
- right ventricular hypertrophy
which cyanotic congenital heart disease increases pulmonary flow
- Transposition of great arteries
- Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
- Truncus arteriosus
- single ventricle
which cyanotic congenital heart disease decreases pulmonary flow
Tetralogy of Fallot
Tricuspid atresia
pulmonary atresia
what increases right-to-left shunting in tetralogy of fallot
exercise, vasodilation, volume depletion
