cardiovascular part 2 (2) Flashcards
where is arterial blood pumped in a fetus in utero
right side of heart
does blood go through the fetus lungs in utero?
no, rerouted
what is the fetal vascular channel between the pulmonary artery and the descending aorta
ductus arteriosis
where does the majority of blood pumped by the right side of the heart go to?
ductus arteriosis
what is the fetal opening in the atrial septum, takes blood from right atrium to left atrium
foramen ovale
what stimulates the foramen ovale to close?
increased left atrium pressure
when does foramen ovale close
shortly after birth?
when does the ductus arteriosis close, and by when is it permanently close?
closes within 10-15 hours after birth, permanently after 10-21 days of birth
what does a patent ductus arteriosis cause?
oxygenated blood from aorta to lead into unoxygenated blood in the pulmonary artery
when does the heart develop in gestation
4th-7th weeks
when do most cardiac defects develop in utero
8th week
what are some factors that can contribute to congenital heart disease
- maternal drug/alc use
- maternal viral infections
- maternal metabolic disorders
- genetics
- increased age
- chromosomes
what is an increased pulmonary blood flow defect with a defect in the right atrium
atrial septal defect
how does blood shunt in atrial septal defect
left → right
what kind of symptoms will occur with atrial septal defect
heart failure symptoms
which defect is an opening between ventricles
ventricular septal defect
describe ventricular septal defects pressure and blood flow
increased pressure on the left side, shunts left to right, increased pulmonary blood flow
what symptoms will occur in ventricular septal defect`
heart failure symptoms
when is patent ductus arteriosis classified?
if it does not close by 21 days
where is blood shunted from and to in patent ductus arteriosis
from aorta to pulmonary artery
what kind of blood flow is in patent ductus arteriosis
increased pulmonary blood flow
where is the most pressure in a patent ductus arteriosis defect
aorta
what defect is narrowing of the descending aorta
coarctation of the aorta
what kind of blood flow does coarctation of the aorta have
obstructed systemic blood flow (restricted flow from aorta = less to the body)
where does coarctation of the aorta restrict flow from?
the left ventricle
what are signs and symptoms of coarctation of the aorta dependent on?
size of the defect
which defect is a cyanotic heart defect
tetralogy of fallot
