Congenital Heart Defects Flashcards
congenital valve defects
- sub aortic stenosis
- pulmonary stenosis
- mitral valve dysplasia
- tricuspid valve dysplasia
- cor triatriatum sinsiter/dexter
congenital shunt defects
- PDA
- VSD
- ASD
what species/breeds are predisposed to sub aortic stenosis
large breed dogs (Goldens, Rottweilers, newfoundlands)
murmur for sub aortic stenosis
left basilar systolic ejection murmur
what is the primary lesion in sub aortic stenosis
ridge/ring underneath the aortic valve
what are secondary lesions in sub aortic stenosis
- concentric hypertrophy of the LV from pressure overload
- aortic insufficiency
- post stenotic dilation of the aorta
- AV endocarditis
what are signs of subaortic stenosis on echo
- increased aortic outflow velocity
- thick LV wall
- fibrosis in LVFW
what treatment is there for sub aortic stenosis
B blockers (atenolol) to reduce load/demand on heart
what species/breed is predisposed to pulmonary stenosis
small breed dogs, brachycephalics
murmur for pulmonary stenosis
left basilar systolic ejection murmur
what is the primary lesion in pulmonary stenosis
fusion or thickening of the valve leaflets
what are secondary lesions in pulmonary stenosis
- concentric hypertrophy of the RV from pressure overload
- pulmonary insufficiency
- post stenotic dilation of PA
what are signs of pulmonary stenosis on echo
- increased pulmonary outflow velocity
- RV wall thickening
what is the treatment for pulmonary stenosis
beta blockers (atenolol)
+
balloon valvuloplasty
what are the clinical differences between subaortic and pulmonary stenosis
SAS murmur has carotid radiation (can be heard in carotid sinuses), PS does not
SAS have weak/delayed pulses, PS has normal pulses
BREEDS
- large: SAS
- small: PS
what species/breeds are predisposed to mitral valve dysplasia
RARE in most species
dogs: bull mastiffs, bull terriers, labs
some cats
murmur for mitral valve dysplasia
left apical systolic regurgitant murmur
what is the primary lesion in mitral valve dysplasia
irregular valve architecture
OR
irregular chordae attachments
what are the secondary lesions in mitral valve dysplasia
- eccentric hypertrophy of the LV from volume overload
- LA dilation
- mitral valve insufficiency
what are signs of mitral valve dysplasia on echo
- LA and LV enlargement
- papillary muscle anomalies
what is the treatment for mitral valve dysplasia
no fix - treat the CHF
what species/breed is predisposed to tricuspid valve dysplasia
labradors
murmur in tricuspid valve dysplasia
right apical systolic regurgitation murmur
what is the primary lesion in tricuspid valve dysplasia
irregular architecture
OR
irregular chordae attachments
