Cardiovascular Congenital Disorders Flashcards
1
Q
Left-to-right shunts (4):
A
- ASD
- VSD
- PDA
- AV septal defect
2
Q
In ASD the degree of left-to-right shunt is determined by:
A
The size of the defect and right ventricular compliance
3
Q
ASD leads to (3):
A
- Right atrial enlargement
- Right ventricular enlargement
- Increased pulmonary blood flow
4
Q
ASD on physical exam (4):
A
- Prominent RV impulse
- Widely split and fixed second heart sound
- Soft systolic ejection murmur at left upper sternal border
- Diastolic murmur at left lower sternal border with large shunts
5
Q
Most common form of congenital heart disease:
A
VSD
6
Q
VSD leads to (3):
A
- Left atrial enlargement
- Left ventricular enlargement
- Increased pulmonary blood flow
7
Q
Degree of shunt in VSD depends on (2):
A
- Size of the defect
- Pulmonary vascular resistance
8
Q
VSD physical exam findings (4):
A
- Hyperdynamic precordium
- Holosystolic murmur at the left lower to mid-sternal border
- Mid-diastolic rumble at the apex with large shunts
- Hepatomegaly
9
Q
Degree of shunt in PDA depends on (2):
A
- Size of the ductus
- Pulmonary vascular resistance
10
Q
PDA leads to:
A
Left atrial and left ventricular volume overload
11
Q
Clinical features of PDA:
A
May present with tachypnea, diaphoresis and feeding difficulties
12
Q
PDA on physical exam (3):
A
- Hyperdynamic precordium
- Continuous harsh “machine-like” murmur
- Tachypnea and hepatomegaly may be present
13
Q
Pathology of a partial AVSD (3):
A
- Primum atrial septal defect
- Two atrioventricular valve annuli
- Cleft mitral valve
14
Q
Pathology of complete AVSD (3):
A
- Primum atrial septal defect
- Inlet ventricular septal defect
- Single atrioventricular valve annulus
15
Q
Partial AVSD on physical exam (3):
A
- RV impulse
- Fixed split S2
- Systolic ejection murmur at the left upper sternal border
