Q

Explain Lt and Rt hypoplastic heart syndrome

A

Rt:
Small or absent pulmonary artery, affects rt side of heart
More common than lt
Lt:
Small or absent lt ventricle and aorta
Lethal! Heart is unable to pump effectively

16
Q

Tetralogy of Fallot - 4 anomalies

A

Group of 4 anatomical anomalies

  • VSD
  • enlarged aortic valves
  • hypertrophy of rt ventricle muscle
  • stenosis of pulmonary valves
17
Q

Truncus Arteriosus

A

Failure of aorta and pulmonary arteries to form separately

Single vessel comes from the rt and lt ventricles

18
Q

Transposition of Great Vessels

A

Aorta arises from rt ventricle
Pulmonary trunk arises from the lt ventricle
Lethal!

19
Q

Increased incidence with…

A
Moms over 40
Alcoholism 
Diabetes 
Poor Nutrition 
Viral Illness
20
Q

Coarctation of Aorta

A

Narrowing of aortic lumen

Usually at the ductus Arteriosus

21
Q

Coarctation of the aorta occurs usually at

A

the ductus Arteriosus

22
Q

Arrhythmias

25
Q

Are cardiac tumors benign or malignant

A

Most are benign and isolated

26
Q

Cardiomyopathy

A

Disease of the myometrium of the heart, enlarged heart muscles
Caused by viral/bacterial infections or diabetes

27
Q

What are some causes to cardiomyopathy

A

Viral or bacterial infections

Diabetes

28
Q

What is Ectopic Cordis

A

All or part of the heart is outside the chest

Associated with cardiac and chromosomal abnormalities

Blood vessels from the embryo join with:

Yolk sac, connecting stalk, and chorion

35
Q

Division of the 4 chambers occur…

A

4th and 5th week

36
Q

Fetal risk factors

A
