Q

Closure of Fetal Shunts

A
  • The initial inflation of the lungs causes changes:
  • Decreases PVR results in increased BF from PA
  • Increased BF from RA to RV and into the PA’s and less BF through the foramen ovale to the left atrium
  • More blood returns from lungs increases pressure inLA
  • Increased LA pressure and decreased RA pressure (due to pulmonary resistance) forces blood against septum primum causing hte formane ovale to close

Q

In normal individuals, are left or right sided pressures higher? Why?

A

Left heart pressures > Right heart pressures
Thick LV has to produce enough pressure to pump blood throughout the entire body, while the thin RV only has to produce enough pressure to pump blood to the lungs

40
Q

In normal individuals, are left or right sided pressures higher? Why?

A

Left heart pressures > Right heart pressures
Thick LV has to produce enough pressure to pump blood throughout the entire body, while the thin RV only has to produce enough pressure to pump blood to the lungs

41
Q

What size ASD would be considered “large”?

A

> 9mm

42
Q

A large ASD may result in what kind of shunt?

A

Clinically remarkable left-to-right shunt; blood shunted LA to RA. This extra blood from LA may cause a volume overload of both the RA and the RV (RA dilatation leading the RA fibrosis)

43
Q

What could happen if a large ASD went untreated?

A

Can result in enlargement of the right side of the heart and ultimately heart failure

44
Q

What could happen if a large ASD went untreated?

A

Can result in enlargement of the right side of the heart and ultimately heart failure

45
Q

How could an ASD result in pulmonary hyptertension?

A 
Increased right sided volume
Right atrial and ventricular dilatation
Tricuspid annular dilatation (TR)
Pulmonary congestion
Pulmonary hypertension
46
Q

How do Qp and Qs compare in pulmonary hypertension?

A

Qp > Qs

47
Q

What could cause worsening of a left-to-right-shunt?

A

Any process that increases the pressure in the LV can cause worsening of the left-to-right shunt

48
Q

What could cause worsening of a left-to-right-shunt?

A

Any process that increases the pressure in the LV can cause worsening of the left-to-right shunt; also works on the right heart

Systemic hypertension, increases pressure that the LV has to generate in order to open the aortic valve

49
Q

What could cause worsening of a left-to-right-shunt?

A

Any process that increases the pressure in the LV can cause worsening of the left-to-right shunt; also works on the right heart

Systemic hypertension, increases pressure that the LV has to generate in order to open the aortic valve

50
Q

If there is a L to R shunt, which ventricle has to push our more blood? What does this result in?

A

Right ventricle; constant overload of the right side of the heart will cause an overload of the entire pulmonary vasculature (pulmonary over-circulation)

51
Q

If there is a L to R shunt, which ventricle has to push our more blood? What does this result in?

A

Right ventricle; constant overload of the right side of the heart will cause an overload of the entire pulmonary vasculature (pulmonary over-circulation)

52
Q

Qp/Qs > 1.5/1.0

A

Problem!! Eventually pulmonary hyptertension will develop

53
Q

What does pulmonary hyptension cause for the RV?

A 
Increased afterload (PVR)
In addition to increased preload that the shunted blood form the LA to RA caused
RV will be forced to generate higher tension/pressures to try to overcome the pulmonary HTN
Could lead to RV failure (dilatation and decreased systolic function of the RV)
54
Q

If Left to Right shunt is left uncorrected….

A

Pressure in right heart> pressure in left heart
RA pressure > LA pressure
Pressure gradient reverses across the ASD
Shunt reverses (R to L shunt)= Eisenmenger’s syndrome
Oxygen-poor blood gets shunted to the left heart
Cyanosis

55
Q

Eisenmenger’s Syndrome

A

Reversal of a L to R shunt to become a R to L shunt
Oxygen-poor blood gets shunted to the left heart
Causes cyanosis

56
Q

Eisenmenger’s Syndrome

A

Reversal of a L to R shunt to become a R to L shunt
Oxygen-poor blood gets shunted to the left heart
Causes cyanosis

87
Q

VSD Blood Flow Pattern During Systole

A

some of the blood from the left ventricle leaks into the right ventricle, passes through the lungs and reenters the left ventricle via the pulmonary veins and left atrium

88
Q

VSD Blood Flow Pattern During Systole

A

some of the blood from the left ventricle leaks into the right ventricle, passes through the lungs and reenters the left ventricle via the pulmonary veins and left atrium

Results: Overloads LV
Because the left ventricle normally has a must higher systolic pressure (120 mmHg) than the right ventricle (20 mmHG) a left to right shunt persists
Elevated RV pressure and volume –> pulmonary HTN
