Q

What ECHO findings would you suspect if there is PHTN in VSDs?

RVH, RVE & subsequent Eisenmenger (R-L)

32
Q

33
Q

DRAW OUT a view you see MUSCULAR/TRABECULAR VSD?

34
Q

DRAW OUT a view you see INLET VSD?

35
Q

DRAW OUT a view you see SUPRACRISTAL/OUTLET VSD?

36
Q

What are you doing in terms of DOPPLER for VSDS?

A
  • PW for location
  • CW for velocity - high velocity in systole (5-6m/s)
  • brief flow reversal less likely so saline not used
  • color doppler is highly sensitive to signif VSDs
  • QpQs not needed in adults
37
Q

What is the expected velocity in VSDs?

A

high velocity flow (~5m/sec) during systole due to high LV systolic pressures

38
Q

what is the most COMMON type of VSD?

A

perimembranous

39
Q

what ABNORMALITY is common with perimembranous VSD?

40
Q

what is the SECOND most COMMON VSD?

A

muscular/trabecular

Q

what is OUTLET/SUPRACRISTAL VSD associated with?

Q

DRAW out what a PDA would look like

44
Q

What are the ECHO FINDINGS for PDA?
