Congenital Heart Disease Flashcards

1
Q

What is the pathophysiology of subaortic and pulmonic stenosis?

A

Increased resistance of left or right ventricular ejection
Increased ventricular pressure
Ventricular hypertrophy
Turbulent bloodflow through stenotic area

Q

What are the radiographic changes associated with subaortic stenosis?

A

Narrowing of subvalvular region of aorta/LV
Aortic arch enlarges from turbulent blood flow
LV elongates from hypertrophy
LA enlargement if secondary MV dysfunction
Normal pulmonary vessels until MV dysfunction, then can get pulmonary venous hypertension

Q

What is the pathophysiology of pulmonic stenosis?

A

Malformation of the pulmonic valve
Turbulent blood flow causes dilation of main pulmonary artery
Increased resistance to ejection causes R ventricular hypertrophy
Pulmonary vessels usually normal, may be small due to decreased cardiac output

Q

What are the radiographic changes associated with pulmonic stenosis?

A

Large MPA
RV enlargement from hypertrophy
Large RV may cause elevation of apex on laterals, increased sternal contact, and bulge in cranial cardiac silhouette at 6 - 9 o’clock
Can see RA enlargement

Q

What are the radiographic signs of tricuspid valve dysplasia?

A

RA enlargement from pressure and volume overload
Pulmonary vessels usually normal but can be small with decreased CO

16
Q

What disease?

A

Tricuspid valve dysplasia
Large RA and RV

17
Q

What disease?

A

Tricuspid valve dysplasia
Large RA and RV

18
Q

What are general radiographic signs of shunting lesions?

A

Overperfused lung = congestion/enlargement of arteries and veins = see peripheral vessels better

19
Q

What is the pathophysiology of ventricular septal defect?

A

Communication between right and left ventricles –> L to R shunt
Typically located in the membranous septum

20
Q

What are radiographic signs of ventricular septal defects?

A

Often difficult to identify radiographically
Variable generalized heart enlargement
Look for pulmonary overcirculation

21
Q

What disease?

A

Ventricular septal defect
Generalized cardiomegaly (enlarged A and V - yellow), enlarged vessels (MPA), abnormal lungs (interstitial)

22
Q

What disease?

A

Ventricular septal defect
Generalized cardiomegaly (enlarged A and V - yellow), enlarged vessels (MPA - red), abnormal lungs (interstitial)

23
Q

What is the pathophysiology of patent ductus arteriosus?

A

Connects aorta and pulmonary artery
Increased L sided pressure so blood flows from aorta through PDA to MPA

24
Q

What are the radiographic signs of patent ductus arteriosus?

A

Large proximal descending aorta
Enlarged main pulmonary artery
LA +/- auricle enlargement
LV enlargement
Enlarged pulmonary arteries and veins due to overcirculation

25

A

PDA
Red = MPA
Blue = aorta
