acyanotic
increased pulmonary blood flow
cyanotic
decreased pulmonary blood flow
What are the main signs of cardiovascular dysfunction and heart failure in infants
diaphoresis
difficulty with feeds
cyanosis
feeding intolerance
poor weight gain or weight loss
poor growth
edema
tachycardia
tachypnea
increase WOB
organomegaly
What are the main signs of cardiovascular dysfunction and heart failure in children
fatique
less energy than peers
activity intolerance
cyanosis
mottling
increased WOB
Edema
Organomegaly
The blood flow is present on about postconceptual day
17
The 4 chambers of the heart and arteries are formed during gestational weeks
2 to 8
In utero, oxygenation of the fetus occurs via
the placenta (umbilical vein)
The ________________, an opening between the atria allowing blood to flow from the right to left atrium, shunting oxygen rich blood directly to the brain/body
foramen ovale
The _____________, allows blood flow between the pulmonary artery and the aorta, shunting blood away from the pulmonary circulation
ductus arteriosus
Most PFO and PDA (fetal shunts) functionally close within
24 to 48 hours
Acyanotic heart lesions: _____ to ______ shunting occurs
left to right
Acyanotic heart lesions: results in altered
hemodynamics and volume overload to the right side of the heart and lungs
Acyanotic heart lesions: cardiac workload _______ to manage the additional pressure overload and volume
increases
Acyanotic heart lesions: major consequence
CHF
Acyanotic heart lesions: types (4)
PDA
ASD
VSD
AVSD
Patent ductus arteriosus: most common in
premature infants
Patent ductus arteriosus: manifestations
machine-like murmur
bounding pulses
cardiomegaly
signs of HF
widened pulse pressure
Patent ductus arteriosus: management
indomethacin (pharm closure)
surgical ligation
cath and placement of vascular plug device
Atrial septal defect: _____ to ______ shunting through opening in the atrium
left to right
Atrial septal defect: RA _______ and pulm blood flow _______
enlarged; increases
Atrial septal defect: manifestations
often asymptomatic
murmur
signs of HF
ventricular septal defect: shunting from
left ventricle to right ventricle
ventricular septal defect: __________ pulmonary blood flow and pulmonary ________
increased; hypertension
ventricular septal defect: manifestations
loud, harsh murmur
palpable thrill
increased risk of pulm infection
CHF
Atrioventricular septal defect: abnormal development of both
septal and AV valves (endocardial cushion defect)
Atrioventricular septal defect: associated with
genetic syndromes (e.g. Down Syndrome)
Atrioventricular septal defect: __________ pulmonary blood flow and pulm hypertension
increased
Atrioventricular septal defect: Manifestations
heart failure
systolic pulmonary flow murmur
intermittent cyanosis
failure to thrive
Cyanotic heart lesions: _______ to ________ shunting occurs
right to left
