Embryology and Congenital Defects Flashcards
(probe) patent foramen ovale
20% of people
higher pressure on left side keeps membranous flap over foramen ovale
increase right pressure above left: opens foramen ovale
deoxygeneated blood skips lungs
Tetralogy of Fallot
right to left shunt
VSD, RVH, pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta
cyanotic
tet spell: relieved by squatting
Sx: low saturation without respiratory distress, blacker than normal lungs, cyanosis, harsh systolic ejection murmur along the right upper sternal border, looks like boot
eisenmenger syndrome
chronic left-to-right shunt that causes progressive pulmonary HTN that eventually reverses the shunt
truncus arteriosus
ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
bulbus cordis
smooth parts of ventricles
primitive atrium
trabeculated part of atria
primitive ventricle
trabeculated part of ventricles
primitive pulmonary vein
smooth part of LEFT atrium

coronary sinus
right horn of sinus venosus
smooth part of RIGHT atrium (sinus venarum)
right common cardinal vein an right anterior cardinal vein
