Congenital heart conditions Flashcards
Congenital heart condition associated with single gene mutations
Tetralogy of Fallot
Congenital heart defect associated with down syndrome
Common AV canal –> large primum ASD, VSD, and common AV valve
Congenital heart defects associated with Turner syndrome
Bicuspid aortic valve
Coarctation of the aorta
Congenital heart defect associated with Williams syndrome
Supravalvular AS
Congenital heart defects associated with DiGeorge syndrome
Congenital abnormalities of the cardiac outflow tract –> tetralogy of Fallot, truncus arteriosus
Characteristics of Williams syndrome
Mental retardation
Hypercalcemia
Short stature
Facial abnormalities
HTN
Features of DiGeorge syndrome
Cardiac abnormalities
Abnormal facial appearance
Thymic aplasia
Cleft palate
Hypocalcemia
Pathogenesis of DiGeorge syndrome
Deletion in chromosome 22 affecting TBX1 transcriptional factor causes abnormal development of 4th pharyngeal arch, and 3rd-4th pharyngeal pouches
Congenital heart defects associated with poorly controlled GDM
Transposition of great vessels
VSD
Congenital heart defects associated with alcohol intake in pregnancy
PV stenosis
VSD
Congenital heart defects associated with maternal rubella infection during gestation
PDA
PV stenosis
Congenital heart defect associated with maternal lithium use
Ebstein anomaly
Complications of L to R shunts
Volume overload in R heart
Pulmonary HTN
LV hypertrophy
Shunt reversal
Types of R to L shunts
Tetralogy of Fallot
Transposition of the great arteries
Tricuspid atresia
Persistent truncus arteriosus
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return
Clinical signs of R to L shunt
Hypoxemia
Cyanosis
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy
Polycythemia
Complications of R to L shunt
Secondary polycythemia
Digital clubbing
Increased risk of infective endocarditis before or after corrective surgery
Metastatic abscesses
Cyanosis
Most common ASD in down syndrome
Of ostium primum
Most common type of ASD
Of septum secundum
Clinical findings in adults with ASD
RV heave
Widened, fixed S2
Systolic murmur at upper-left sternal border
Decreased stamina and palpitations due to atrial tachyarrhythmias resulting from RA enlargement
Conditions when PFO becomes clinically significant
Pulmonary HTN
RHF
