Ch. 35 & 36 Flashcards
Caudal region of the primitive heart
Sinus venosus
Primitive atrium develops into
Left and right atria
Primitive ventricle develops into the
Left ventricle
Bulbous cord is develops into the
Right ventricle
Truncus arteriosus dilates to form
Aortic sac from which the aortic arches arise
Sinus venosus initially this is a separate chamber that opens into the
Right atrium
Sinus venosus receives all blood returning to the heart from
Common cardinal veins
Vitelline veins
Umbilical veins
The left horn of the sinus becomes the
Coronary sinus
The right horn is incorporated into _, this forms the _
The wall of the right atrium
Smooth portion of the adult right atrial wall
The right half of the primitive atrium persists as the
Right auricle
Left atria is formed by
Incorporation of the primitive pulmonary vein
4 pulmonary veins eventually enter the _ from the _
Left atrium
lung
The smooth wall of the left atrium is formed from the _
Absorbed pulmonary vein
The left atrial appendage (_) is from the _
Left auricle
Primitive heart
Division of the 4CH occurs during _ of fetal development
4th & 5th weeks
Endocardium cushions develop in _ region of the heart
Atrioventricular
The cushion grows toward each other and fuse to divide the _
Atrioventricular canal into right and left canals
The foramen oval is an opening between
The free edge of the septum secundum
and the dorsal wall of the atrium
The left ventricle is formed from the
Primitive vein
The right ventricle is formed from
Bulbous cordis
The interventricular septum begins as
A ridge in the floor of the primitive ventricle and slowly grows toward the endocardial cushion
Foramen ovale allows communication from _ to the _
right atrium to the left atrium
Ductus arteriosus allows fetal circulation to bypass the _
Lungs
Ductus arteriosus allows communication from the _ to the _
Pulmonary trunk
Descending aorta
Ductus venosus allows fetal circulation to bypass
The liver
Ductus venosus: flow passes from _ through the ductus venosus to the _ and then _
Umbilical vein
IVC
Right atrium
After birth, fetal lungs begin to function. The omission of placenta circulation causes an immediate fall in _
Blood pressure in the newborns IVC and right atrium.
After birth, as lungs expand with air, there is a fall in _. This causes an increase in _
Pulmonary resistance
Pulmonary blood flow and progressive thinning of the wall of the pulmonary artery.
Pressure in the _ becomes higher than the _. This causes _
Left atrium
Right atrium
The foramen ovale to close
First shunt to close after birth
Foramen ovale
If the foramen ovale does not close after birth
Patent foramen ovale
The ductus arteriosus usually constricts _ after birth, once _
24-48hrs
Left sided pressure exceeds right sided pressure
There is a small shunt from the _ to the _ until _
Aorta
Pulmonary artery
The left and right sided pressures adjust to neonatal life
Ductus arteriosus turns into the _ in the neonate.
If communication persisist _
Ligamentum arteriosum
Patent ductus arteriosus
Umbilical arteries also constrict after birth to _
Prevent blood loss from the newborn
Umbilical vein may
Remain patent for some time after birth
Normal HR
120-160bpm
Bradycardia _bpm
<100
Tachycardia _bpm
> 200
Umbilical arteries go _
Around the bladder
Indicators for fetal echo
IUGR Cardiac arrhythmias Abn. amnio Abn. HR Hydrops fetalis Thickened NT
Extracardiac abnormalities are assoc. w/
Congenital heart block
Echo: maternal factors
Previous child with congenital heart disease
Parent with congenital heart disease
Maternal diseases affecting fetus (diabetes, lupus, drug/alc. use)
Echo: Fetal US landmarks
Fetal position
Fetal thorax
Apex of heart
Echo: When fetus is in a difficult position
Ask mother to change positions
Have mother go to the restroom
Normal cardiac study should include the following views
o4 chambers
oOutflow tracts [RVOT, LVOT]
oOblique long-axis view for aortic arch and ductus arteriosus
The most commonly acquired view of the fetal heart
4CH
4-chamber view anatomy
▪Right atrium & ventricle [with moderator band] ▪Tricuspid valve ▪Left atrium & ventricle ▪Mitral valve ▪Interventricular septum ▪Interatrial septum ▪Foramen ovale ▪Pulmonary veins as they enter the left atrium
Moderator band can be used to locate the
Rt ventricle
Most anterior chamber
Rt ventricle
Most posterior chamber
Left atrium
The _ side of the heart is slightly larger in utero
Right
In utero the foramen ovale opens toward the _, as the pressure is slightly _ in the right atrium
Left atrium
Greater
After birth the pressure in the _ heart forces the foramen to close
Left
Failure of the foramen to close results in
defect in the atrial septum
_ valve is slightly inferior to the _ valve
Tricuspid
Mitral
The IVC and SVC can be seen entering the _
Right atrium
Junction of the interatrial and intraventricular septa, AV valves, and the 4 chambers
Crux
Five chamber view allows for the _
aortic flow to be recorded leaving the left ventricle
For 5CH, the transducer position is _
Slightly anterior to the 4CH
Criss-cross view, as the transducer is angled from the aorta slightly left
Pulmonary artery may be seen as it arises from the right ventricular outflow tract
Criss cross view: Pulmonary artery is normally _ and to the _ of the aorta
Anterior
Left
Criss cross view allows visualization of _
The normal relationship of the pulmonary artery and aorta to one another
Great vessels
Pulmonary artery and aorta
The “sweep” from the aorta to the pulmonary artery is called the_ view
Criss cross
LVOT: The origin of the aorta is identified arising from the
Left ventricle
Best view to obtain septal defects
LVOT
LVOT: Evaluate size of
▪Right & left ventricles
▪Right & left atriums
▪Thickness of interventricular septum
▪Continuity of interventricular septum
LVOT allows you to evaluate for _
A septal defect
LVOT: _ may not be detected with US
Small defects
Short axis view
RVOT
Long axis view
LVOT
For RVOT, from LVOT, rotate transducer _degrees in a _ direction
90
Cephalic
RVOT: Visualize the _ of the _ into the right and left pulmonary arteries
Bifurcation
Main pulmonary artery
RVOT: Demonstrates the normal relationship of the pulmonary artery as it lies _
Anterior and to the right of the aorta
Normally the RVOT and PA “drape” _ to the circular aorta
Anterior
Oblique view
Ductal/aortic views
Angulation of the transducer to oblique longitudinal plane provides visualization of this aortic anatomy:
Root of the aorta
Ascending aorta
Arch
Descending aorta
For oblique views, find the fetal spine in sagittal plane and angle _ to find the _ & _
Slightly inward toward the chest
Aortic & ductal arches
Aortic Arch: The three head and neck branch arteries arise from the perfect curve of the aortic arch as they
Ascend into the fetal head
3 head and neck branch arteries
Innominate (brachiocephalic)
Left common carotid
Left subclavian
Appearance of the aortic arch

Ductal Arch: Transducer is angled
inferior from the aortic arch
Ductal Arch: Arch type pattern represents
