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
the blood flow through an organ can be quantitated if an indicator is either added to or removed from the blood during its flow through the organ
Fick principle
Qp/Qs
AO - SVC / AO- PA
ASD:
- common in
- women or male
- types
- volume overload on the
- eisenmenger’s
magnitude of shunt relative to
- common defect in children and 2nd most common in adult
- women 3:1
- secundum, venosus and primum
- right sided volume overload
- eisenmenger’s rare- 5%
- magnitude of shunt relative to diastolic distensibility and vascular resistance
a shunt in the atrium will cause an
increase in pulmonary blood flow
ASD Qp to Qs ratio
Qp > Qs
a small VSD will _______ pulmonary blood flow and to a certain extent pressure
increase
a large VSD will increase both
blood flow and pressure
VSD Qp to Qs ratio
Qp>Qs
ASD vs VSD
if the amount of pulm. blood flow in both pt. is the same, who will be sicker
ASD- volume overload
VSD- volume and pressure overload
reversed shunt
eisenmenger’s syndrome
Eisenmenger’s syndrome:
- what happens over time?
- as the pulmonary vascular resistance increases the Qp/Qs
- When ______ blood will shunt from the right heart to the left heart leading to the development of systemic cyanosis
- associated with
- increased blood flow/pressure damages the pulmonary arteriole muscular walls causing hypertrophy, leading to elevation of the PVR and a reduction in PBF
- decreases
- Qp
overall effect in eisenmenger’s
resistance to flow in pulmonary circuit now higher than systemic
PDA connects the
descending aorta to left pulmonary artery
what closes the PDA
after birth - up to 2 weeks with the increase in O2 and PGE
PDA becomes the
ligamentum arteriosus
aorta constriction typically distal to subclavian artery
coarctation of the aorta
COA:
- causes
- men or women
- associated with
- consider intervention when
- causes upper extremity HTN leading to cardiac hypertrophy from pressure overload
- males 2:1
- BAV (60-80%)
- consider intervention in persistent HTN and a gradient > 20-30 mmHg
most common cyanotic CHD
TOF
TOF:
- has four issues
- in 25% of the cases we see
- if it is pentalogy of fallot what do they have in addition to
- (i) RVOT obstruction (ii) RVH (iii) overriding aorta (iv) VSD
- right aortic arch - 25%
- pentalogy of fallot- ASD
blue child
TOF
TOF:
- what do we see
- Qp to Qs
- output from the right and left ventricles is different
2, Qp
rashkind septostomy
emergency procedure that creates an inter-atrial bi-directional shunt prior to performing an arterial switch operation in which the aorta and pulmonary artery are exchanged to connect LV to aorta and RV to pulmonary artery
mustard procedure
atrial switch operation
tricuspid atresia
single ventricle
Qp>Qs
pulmonary blood flow too much
Qp
pulmonary blood flow too little
Qp=Qs
pulmonary blood flow just right
