22
Q

Congenital diseases associated with VSD

A

Cri du chat syndrome
Fetal alcohol syndrome

23
Q

Early symptoms of HF in infants with large VSD

A

Tachypnea
Poor feeding
Failure to thrive
Frequent lower respiratory infections

24
Q

Harsh holosystolic murmur best heard at the L sternal border. Mid-diastolic rumbling murmur can be heard at the apex.

A

VSD

25
Q

Reasons for closure of ductus arteriosus after birth

A

Increased arterial oxygenation
Decreased pulmonary vascular resistance
Declining levels of prostaglandin E2

26
Q

Reasons for delayed or absent closure of ductus arteriosus

A

Hypoxia - respiratory distress or heart disease
When associated with other congenital defects

27
Q

Medication used to close PDA

A

Indomethacin

28
Q

Adult remnant of ductus arteriosus

A

Ligamentum arteriosum

29
Q

Eisenmenger syndrome

A

Reversal of a L to R shunt

30
Q

Results from anterosuperior displacement of the infundibular septum

A

Tetralogy of Fallot

31
Q

Four cardinal features of Tetralogy of Fallot

A

Pulmonary infundibular stenosis
RV hypertrophy
Overriding aorta
VSD

32
Q

Reason for RV hypertrophy in tetralogy of Fallot

A

Due to high pressure load placed on RV by pulmonary stenosis

33
Q

Manifestations of Tet spells

A

Irritability
Cyanosis
Hyperventilation
Occasionally syncope or convulsions

34
Q

Reason for Tet spells

A

Systemic vasodilation results in an increased R to L shunt in tetralogy of Fallot

35
Q

S2 in tetralogy of Fallot

A

Single, no split

36
Q

Murmur in tetralogy of Fallot

A

Systolic ejection murmur heard best at the upper L sternal border

37
Q

CXR findings in tetralogy of Fallot

A

Prominent RV and decreased size of main pulmonary A segment –> boot shaped heart

38
Q

ECG findings in tetralogy of Fallot

A

RV hypertrophy with R axis deviation

39
Q

Surgical treatment of transposition of great vessels

A

Creation of interatrial communication using balloon catheter

40
Q

Common trunk for aorta, pulmonary A, and coronary arteries. Associated with VSD.

A

Persistent truncus arteriosus

41
Q

Downward displacement of an abnormal tricuspid valve into an underdeveloped RV. Divides RV into atrialized dilated portion and functional reduced portion.

A

Ebstein anomaly

42
Q

Tubular hypoplasia of the aortic arch proximal to PDA

A

Infantile form of coarctation of the aorta

43
Q

Discrete ridge-like infolding of the aorta just opposite to the ligamentum arteriosum distal to the arch vessels

A

Adult form of coarctation of the aorta

44
Q

Compensatory alterations in uncorrected coarctation of the aorta

A

LV hypertrophy

A

Notching of inferior surface of ribs

48
Q

Possible complications proximal to aortic coarctation

A

Increased UE SBP
Dilation of aortic root and dissection
Increased risk for developing berry aneurysms –> increased cerebral blood flow

49
Q

Possible complications distal to aortic coarctation

A

Decreased in SBP and pulse amplitude in LE
