Q

How does dextrocardia arise?

A

Heart tube loops to the left side instead of the right thus coming to lie facing the right.

It is the moset requent abnormality of the heart - •Dextrocardia can be associated with situs inversus (transposition of viscera)

23
Q

What does the endocardial cushion do?

A

Separates the right atrioventricular opening from the left atrioventricular opening, forming left and right atrioventricular canals

24
Q

atrial septal defect (ASD)

& ventricular septal defect (VSD) are associated with malfunctinos of development with?

A

Septum formation

Q

28
Q

What is the ostium primum?

A

The opening between the septum primum and the endocardial cushion

29
Q

Where does the foramen secundum form?

A

The upper end of the septum primum (cell death)

30
Q

Where does the septum secundum form?

A

On the right of the septum primum

31
Q

How does the septum secundum grow?

A

Grows and overlaps the foramen secundum - But septum secundum is incomplete – perforated by oval foramen (foramen ovale)

32
Q

Label the diagram

A
33
Q

What is the role of the oval foramen before birth?

A
  • Allows most of the blood to pass from the right atrium to the left atrium (non functioning lung)
  • Prevents the passage of blood in the opposite direction
34
Q

What is the function of the oval foramen after birth?

A

Normally closes allowing for increased pulmonary blood flow and shift of pressure to the left atrium.

Septum primum fuses with the septum secundum

35
Q

What is the oval fossa?

A

Remnant of foetal oval foramen

36
Q

How does hole in the heart arise?

A

Non closure - no fusino between the septum primum and the septum secundum

37
Q

What are the 4 clinically significant types of ASD?

A

A)Foramen secundum defect

B)Endocardial cushion defect with foramen primum defect

C)Sinus venosus defect

D)Common atrium

The first two types are more common

38
Q

What is the opening called formed by the muscular ventricular septum?

A

Interventricular septum

39
Q

How is the membranous interventricular septum formed?

A

Aorticopulmonary septum rotates and fuses with muscular ventricular septum to form membranous interventricular septum, closing interventricular foramen.

40
Q

What is the role of the endocarial cushions in partitioning?

A

Separates the atria from ventricles

Contributes to atrial septation

Contributes to the membranous portion of the interventricular septum

41
Q

When does partitioning of the bulbus cordis occur?

A

5th week of development

42
Q

How is the aorticopulmonary septum created?

A

Spiralling of the bulbus cordis and the truncus arteriosis resulting in the formation of aorticopulmonary septum. •This septum divides BC and TA in to aorta and pulmonary trunk

43
Q

What is the most common congenital heart disease?

A

Ventricular septal defect

44
Q

When does the SA node develop?

A

During week 5

45
Q

Where is the SA node?

A

•Adult location of SA node – High in the right atrium near the entrance of the SVC

46
Q

Where do the av node and the bundle of his form?

A

From cells of AV canal and sinus venosus

47
Q

What is Cot death or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) caused by?

A

Cause – abnormalities of conducting

tissue

48
Q

Look

A
49
Q

Who are more likely to be affected from congenital heart disease?

A

Males

ASD more common in females

VSD is more common in males

50
Q

What are the causes of congenital heart disease?

A

Aetiology - Multifactorial

  • Rubella infection in pregnency (PDA)
  • Maternal alcohol abuse (septal defects)
  • Maternal drug treatment and radiation
  • Genetic - 8%
  • Chromosomal – 2% (Down’s and Turner’s syndrome)
51
Q

What is a common cause of cyanotic disease in newborn infants?

A

Transposition of great vessels

52
Q

How does transposition result in complications?

A

•Permit exchange of systemic and pulmonary circulation

53
Q

What causes transposition of great vessels?

A

Failure of aorticopulmonary septum to take a spiral course

Defective migration of neural crest cells

54
Q

What are the heart defects associated with the tetralogy of fallot?

A
  1. Pulmonary stenosis (obstruction of right ventricular outflow)
  2. Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
  3. Dextroposition of aorta (“overriding” aorta)
  4. Right ventricular hypertrophy
55
Q

What is the cause of tetralogy of fallot?

A

Unequal division of the conus due to anterior displacement of aorticopulmonary septum
