CHD Flashcards
Apoptosis of septum primum is too great, and septum secundum isn’t able to cover foramen. –>Formane oval won’t be able to close.
Atrial septal defect–secundum type
Most common CHD. Left to right shunt
Ventricular Septal Defect
RV–>Aorta LV–>Pulmonary Vein
Transposition of the Great Vessels
Aorticopulmonary septum does not form. Common outflow. Common outflow from R & L ventricle (oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mixing). Cyanotic shunt.
Persistent Tuncus arteriosus
Formamen ovale closes in utereo. Child dies in utero
Premature closure of foramen ovale
Lack of tricuspid valve. No communication between right atrium and ventricle. Must also have atrial septal and ventricular septal default to live. Cyanotic.
Tricupsid atresia
Incomplete fusion of the endocardial fusion with atrial septum. Results in large communicating hole between all chambers of the heart. Oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood–>hypoxia. Left to right shunting.
Persistent atrio-ventricular canal Atrioventricular Septal Defect
Heart primarily or totally outside thorax
Ectopia Cordis
Cyanotic CHD. Ventricular septum incomplete. Results in mixing between L & R ventricles. 1) Pulmonary artery stenosis; 2) overriding aorta, 3) ventricular septal defect; 4) RVH
Tetralogy of Fallot
Septum primum doesn’t close (go all the way to the endocardial cushion). Results in left to right shunting. Acyanotic.
Atrial septal defect–primum type.
Incomplete fusion of the endocardial fusion with atrial septum. Results in large communicating hole between all chambers of the heart. Oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood–>hypoxia. Left to right shunting.
Persistent atrio-ventricular canal Atrioventricular Septal Defect
