Congenital Heart Disease Flashcards
What is the pathophysiology of subaortic and pulmonic stenosis?
Increased resistance of left or right ventricular ejection
Increased ventricular pressure
Ventricular hypertrophy
Turbulent bloodflow through stenotic area
What are the radiographic changes associated with subaortic stenosis?
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
What disease?
Subaortic stenosis
Enlarged aorta
What disease?
Subaortic stenosis
Blue = aorta
Red = L atrium
What disease?
Subaortic stenosis
Blue = aorta
Red = L atrium
Green = L auricle
What is the pathophysiology of pulmonic stenosis?
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
What are the radiographic changes associated with pulmonic stenosis?
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
What disease?
Enlarged MPA and right heart
Pulmonic stenosis
What disease?
Pulmonic stenosis
Large MPA and R heart
What disease?
Pulmonic stenosis
Large MPA and R heart
What disease?
Pulmonic stenosis
Large MPA and R heart
What disease?
Pulmonic stenosis
Large MPA and R heart
What are radiographic signs of mitral valve dysplasia?
LA +/- LV enlargement
Possible pulmonary venous congestion
What disease?
Mitral valve dysplasia
Large LA and slightly tall heart (LV)
What disease?
Mitral valve dysplasia
Large LA and slightly tall heart (LV)
