Congenital Heart Diseases Flashcards
caused by ostium secundum
ASD
most patients asymptomatic or minimal in childhood until >30y/o
ASD
systolic ejection crescendo-decrescendo flow murmur @ pulmonic area (LUSB)
ASD
widely split fixed S2 *does not vary with respirations*
ASD
CXR in ASD
cardiomegaly
crochetage sign (notching of peak of R wave in inferior leads)
ASD
Gold standard dx for ASD
echo
Mgmt of ASD
spontaneous closure likely in 1st yr, observe
surigcal correction if symptomatic
communication between descending thoracic aorta and pulmonary artery
PDA
What promotes PDA patency
continued prostaglandin E2 production
Eisenmenger’s syndrome associated with which heart defects
everything BUT ASD
eisenmengers syndrome
pulm HTN –> left to right shunt switches and becomes R to L (cyanotic)
continuous machinery murmur
PDA
where is the pulmonic murmur loudest at?
LUSB
normal hands with cyanotic lower extremities
eisenmengers syndrome
1st line Tx for PDA
IV indomethacin
congenital narrowing of descending thoracic aorta
coarctation of aorta
bicuspid aortic valve associated with
coarctation of aorta
MC presentation of coarctation of aorta
2ry HTN, bilateral claudication
systolic murmur that radiates to back/scapula/chest
coractation of aorta
Increased upper BP > lower extremities
coarctation of aorta
delated/weak femoral pulses
coarctation of aorta
