Q

Describe the septation of the atria

A
  1. Septum primum grows toward endocardial cushions, narrowing foramen primum
    1. Foramen secundum forms in septum primum (foramen primum disappears)
    2. Septum secundum develops as foramen secundum maintains the R-L shunt
    3. Septum secundum expands and covers most of the foramen secundum, the residual foramen is the foramen ovale
    4. Remaining portion of septum primum forms valve of foramen ovale
    5. Septum secundum and septum primum fuse to form the atrial septum
    6. Foramen ovale usually closes soon after birth because of increased LA pressure

Can lead to paradoxical emboli (venous thromboemboli that enter systemic arterial circulation) similar to those resulting from an ASD

Q

Describe septation of the ventricles

A
  1. Muscular interventricular septum forms. The opening is called interventricular foramen
    1. Aorticopulmonary septum rotates and fuses with muscular ventricular septum to form membranous interventricular septum, closing interventricular foramen
    2. Growth of the endocardial cushions separates atria from ventricles and contributes to both atrial septation and membranous portion of the interventricular septum

Q

Describe outflow tract formation

A

Neural crest and endocardial cell migrations -> truncal and bulbar ridges that spiral and fuse to form aorticopulmonary septum -> ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk

Q

What are the conotruncal abnormalities associated with failure of neural crest cells to migrate?

A

Transposition of the great vessels
Tetralogy of Fallot
Persistent truncus arteriosus

19
Q

What is the pathophysiological etiology resulting in Transposition of the great vessels?

A

conotruncal abnormalities associated with failure of neural crest cells to migrate

20
Q

What is the pathophysiological etiology resulting in Tetralogy of Fallot?

A

conotruncal abnormalities associated with failure of neural crest cells to migrate

21
Q

What is the pathophysiological etiology resulting in Persistent truncus arteriosus?

A

conotruncal abnormalities associated with failure of neural crest cells to migrate

22
Q

What is the aortic valve derived from?

A

Derived from the endocardial cushions of outflow tract

23
Q

What is the pulmonary valve derived from?

A

Derived from the endocardial cushions of outflow tract

24
Q

What is the mitral valve derived from?

A

Derived from fused endocardial cushions of the AV canal

25
Q

What is the tricuspid valve derived from?

A

Derived from fused endocardial cushions of the AV canal

26
Q

Describe the possible valvular anomalies

A

May be stenotic, regurgitant, atretic (tricuspid atresia), or displaced (e.g. Ebstein anomaly)

27
Q

What are the important shunts in the fetal circulation?

A

Ductus venosus
Foramen Ovale
Ductus arteriosus

28
Q

Describe O2 saturation in the umbilical arteries and veins

A

Umbilical vein PO2 = 30 mmHg and 80% saturation, umbilical arteries have low O2 saturation

29
Q

Describe the importance of the ductus venosus

A

Blood entering the fetus through the umbilical vein is conducted through the ductus venosus into the IVC
bypassing the portal circulation

30
Q

Describe the importance of foramen ovale

A

Most of the highly oxygenated blood reaching the heart via the IVC us directed through the foramen ovale and pumped into the aorta to supply the head and the body

31
Q

Describe the importance of Ductus arteriosus

A

Deoxygenated blood from the SVC passes through the RA -> RV -> main pulmonary artery -> ductus arteriosus -> descending aorta; shunt is due to high fetal pulmonary resistance (due partly to low O2 tension)

32
Q

Describe the changes at birth

A

At birth, the infant takes a breath -> reduced resistance in pulmonary vasculature -> increased left atrial pressure vs right atrial pressure -> foramen ovale closes (now referred to as the fossa ovalis)
Also, leads to increase in O2 (from respiration) and a decrease in prostaglandins (from placental separation) -> closure of ductus arteriosus

33
Q

What is the fate of the ductus arteriosus?

A

Becomes the ligamentum arteriosum (remnant of the ductus arteriosus)

34
Q

What makes the ductus arteriosus close?

A

Indomethacin helps close the PDA -> ligamentum arteriosum (remnant of ductus arteriosus)

35
Q

What drugs make the ductus arteriosus stay open?

A

Prostaglandins E1, E2 kEEp the PDA open

36
Q

What is the Urachus?

A

Urachus is part of the allantoic duct between bladder and umbilicus

37
Q

Allanotis -> urachus postnatal derivative

A

Median umbilical ligament

38
Q

Ductus arteriosus postnatal derivative

A

Ligamentum arteriosum

39
Q

Ductus venosum postnatal derivative

A

Ligamentum venosum

40
Q

Foramen ovale postnatal derivative

A

Fossa ovalis

41
Q

Notochord postnatal derivative

A

Nucleus pulposus

42
Q

Umbilical arteries postnatal derivative

A

Medial umbilical ligaments

43
Q

Umbilical vein postnatal derivative

A

Ligamentum teres hepatis (round ligament) (contained in falciform ligamentum)
