congenital heart disease Flashcards
syndromes with associated CHD sporadic
williams- supra-valvular AS, PS
syndromes with associated CHD:
teratogenic:
- rubella
- alcohol
- dilantin
- lithium
- rubella- PDA, PS, ASD
- Alcohol- VSD
- Dilantin- PS AS, coarctation, PDA
- lithium- Ebstein’s tricupsid atresia
syndromes with associated CHD
chromosomal
- tri 21
- tri 13
- tri 18
- tri 21: endocardial cushion, TOF
- tri 13: VSD
- tri 18: polyvalvular dysplasia
cardiac circulation is in
series
complex CHD may be in
parallel or mixing
ductus arteriosus dependent (requiring protaglandin) (3)
- pulmonary atresia
- transposition of the great arteries
- severe coarctation of the aorta
non- duct dependent (3)
- transposition of the great arteries with a large VSD
- double outlet right ventricle
- truncus arteriosus
RVOT/obstruction
TOF
parallel circulations
TGA
common mixing
truncus arteriosus
CHD with pulmonary HTN (Eisenmengers)
VSD, ASD and PDA
cyanosis generally occurs when (2)
- there is too little pulmonary blood flow
2. venous blood mixes with arterial blood
flow is largely influenced by
resistance and compliance
shunts cause
downstream chamber dilation
_______ equalize across a large defect/ shunt
pressures
obstruction to flow produces
hypoplasia
obstruction elevates
upstream proximal pressure
