Cardiology Flashcards
Murmur ID:
- MLSB or between LLSB and apex
- grade 2-3/6
- “twanging string”, groaning, squeaking or musical
- ages 3-6yrs, occasionally in infancy
Classic vibratory/Still’s murmur
Murmur ID:
- ULSB
- Early to midsystolic ejection murmur
- 1-3/6
- “blowing”
- ages 8-14yrs
Pulmonary ejection murmur
Murmur ID:
- Premature and full-term newborns
- Usually disappears by 3-6mos
- ULSB
- transmits to axilla and back
- 1-2/6
Pulmonary flow murmur of newborn (PPS?)
Murmur ID:
- continuous, grade 1-2/6
- R or L supraclavicular and infraclavicular areas
- inaudible in supine position
- intensity changes with rotation of the head and compression of the jugular vein
- ages 3-6yrs
Venous hum
Murmur ID:
- R supra-clavicular area and over the carotids
- 2-3/6
- occasional thrill over carotid
- any age
Carotid brunt (systolic)
Time of functional closure of the ductus arteriosus?
12-24hrs of life
Time of anatomic closure of the ductus arteriosus?
2-3 weeks of age
Types of CHD that present with shock?
2/2 left heart obstruction:
- CoA
- HLHS
- interrupted Ao arch
- critical AS
- obstructive TAPVR
(systemic perfusion dependent on PDA, symptoms worsen after PDA closure)
Treatment of shock 2/2 CHD
- PGE1
- Avoid excess O2 –> pulm vasodilation (decr PVR) –> increased left to right shunting
- Gentle fluid resuscitation (10mL/kg boluses etc)
- Inotropic agents to improve CO (dobutamine, dopamine, epi)
Most common causes of central cyanosis?
CHD, pulmonary disease, and CNS depression
Amt of hgb that must be reduced to perceive cyanosis.
5g/dL
- In infants with nml hgb levels, apparent at 75-80%
- In polycythemic infants, cyanosis at higher O2 saturations
- In anemic infants, no cyanosis until more significant desaturation occurs
How do you interpret a hyperoxia test?
PO2>100mmHg or incr in PO2>30mmHg above on RA = pulmonary etiology likely
PO2L shunt (CHD or PPHN) or a mixing lesion
Preductal > postductal saturations
PPHN and cardiac conditions with decr systemic pressures (LV obstructive lesions = AS, interrupted arch, CoA)
Postductal>preductal saturations
TGA with obstruction (interrupted arch or CoA)
Acyanotic Congenital Heart Defects
- VSD
- PDA
- ASD
- AV canal (complete endocardial cushion defect)
