Large VSD
VSD diagnosis
- ECHO
- EKG = LVH (maybe LVH and RVH)
- CXR = cardiomegaly, Inc pulm vasc markings
VSD tx
Small - most close spon (monitor with ECHO), abx only if previous closure with prosthetic material.
Surgery - if fail medical management, children <1 with PHTN, older children with persistent, large VSD
Med Management - CHF w/ diuretics, inotropes, ACEIs
ASD, absent radii, first degree heart block
Holt-Oram Syndrome
Fixed, widely-split S2. right ventricle heave
ASD
Eisenmenger’s Syndrome
