  2. single pulmonary vein grows out from the left atrium to the lungs
  3. as left atrium expands, more and more of pulmonary vein and its branches become incorporated into its wall
  4. incorporated part of pulmonary veins forms smooth walled portion of left atrium

Q

how are the atria divided?

A
  1. septum primum grows down from the atrial roof toward the endocardial cushions (foramen primum is the “gap” between future right and left)
  2. foramen secundum begins to form as septum primum grows down to the endocardial cushions
  3. foramen primum closes (septum primum is closed) but then foramen secundum opens
  4. septum secundum (thicker and muscularly) forms from atrial roof incompletely parallel to septum primum - leaves opening FORAMEN OVALE
  5. septum primum (thin) forms a one way valve through the foramen ovale from IVC directly to the LA

Q

mechanism by which foramen ovale is closed at birth

A

in the womb, the pressure in the right atrium is higher than the left, due to the lack of pulmonary circulation, so the blood shunts through foramen ovale, opening the valve of septum primum.

when born, the lungs fill with air and increase pressure in the left atrium, causing increased pressure in left. the blood pushes against the septum primum valve and closes it.

Q

pathway of septation of ventricles (mostly muscular)

A
  1. end of 4th week, muscular interventricular septum incompletely separates the ventricles (from apex of common ventricle), leaving an interventricular foramen temporarily between ventricles
  2. then, a thin membranous septum closes the interventricular foramen (arises from endocardial cushion)

37
Q

pathway of membranous interventricular septum

A

left and right bulbar ridges migrate inferiorly to fuse with endocardial cushions

38
Q

what is cavitation of the myocardium

A

organized degeneration of the inner muscular wall of ventricles, forms trabeculae carneae, atrioventricular valves, papillary muscles, chordae tendinae

39
Q

what disorders are hypoplastic right heart syndromes?

A
  1. patent ductus arteriosus
  2. hypoplastic right ventricle
  3. small tricuspid valve
  4. stenotic/underdeveloped pulmonary valve
  5. atrial septal defects

*decreased blood flow through right ventricle and pulmonary trunk, so the ductus arteriosus stays open to try and normalize blood flow

40
Q

what disorders are hypoplastic left heart syndrome?

A
  1. hypoplastic ascending aorta
  2. coarctation of the aorta
  3. atrial septal defect
  4. atretic or stenotic mitral valve
  5. hypoplastic left ventricle

*ductus arteriosus stays open but the blood is deoxygenated so it is inefficient, and the left ventricle tries to pump a lot to compensate for narrowed aorta and small ventricle size.

41
Q

possible causes of atrial septal malformations

A

excessive resorption of the septum primum, failure of development of the septum secundum, or complete failure of either to form due to insult to embryo that would delay growth

42
Q

result of ASM

A

allows mixing of blood between left and right atria

43
Q

what is septum primum malformation

A

the septum primum failed to completely fuse with the endocardial cushion, so a hole is left between the atria - can also cause malformations in AV valves

44
Q

what malformation is commonly seen in Downs Syndrome?

A

septum primum malformation

45
Q

what is the most common malformation?

A

ventricular septal malformations (high membranous - bc muscular usually resolves itself)

46
Q

what is muscular septal malformations

A

more common than membranous, muscular IV septum does not close, but is usually RESOLVED in childhood

47
Q

what is membranous ventricular septal malformation

A

failure of fusion of interventricular septum with the endocardial cushion - does NOT correct itself

48
Q

consequence of ventricular septal malformations

A

bc of high pressure in left ventricle, even small holes can cause jets of blood from left to right, therefore, increased blood in right ventricle, rigth ventricle hypertrophy

49
Q

what are truncus arteriosus malformations

A

failure of spiral septum of truncus arteriosus, affects ascending aorta, pulmonary trunk, and semilunar valves - can be extremely serious or fatal

50
Q

what is persistent truncus arteriosus

A

failure of truncus to separate at the beginning of the outflow tract - right at the bifurcation of the common opening, therefore, no separation of blood flows and no aortic or pulmonary valves

51
Q

what does persistent truncus arteriosus indicate

A

an automatic ventricular septal malformation because the truncus separation occurs concurrently with ventricular separation

52
Q

what is the unequal division of truncus

A

one vessel has a large opening, one has a small opening, usually involves ventricular septal malformation so the right ventricular blood gets into the aorta

53
Q

consequence of small pulmonary trunk (stenosis)

A

patent ductus arteriosus to relieve the increased pressure in the trunks d/t small size, therefore, deoxygenated blood in aorta, right ventricle hypertrophy

54
Q

consequence of small aorta

A

increased pressure in aorta causes blood to shunt into the pulmonary trunk via patent ductus arteriosus and recirculates oxygenated blood, left ventricle hypertrophy — kind of hypoplastic left heart syndrome

55
Q

what are the 4 characteristics of Tetralogy of Fallot

A
  1. pulmonary stenosis

THEN TO COMPENSATE

  1. membranous ventricular septal malformation
  2. overriding aorta
  3. hypertrophy of right ventricle
    (5. may have persistent ductus arteriosus or artial septal malformation to compensate)
56
Q

what is an overriding aorta

A

aorta sits right over the interventricular septum, collecting blood from both ventricles - shifted over toward left, so it gathers left and right ventricular blood thanks to the ventricular defect

57
Q

what is transposition of the great vessels

A

septum is straight, not spiral, so right ventricle pumps to aorta and the left ventricle pumps to the pulmonary trunk, so there is no oxygenated blood being circulated to the systemic circulation

58
Q

adaptations of transposition of great vessels

A

for survival, a ventricular septal defect or atrial septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus contributes to the mixing of blood - only source of oxygenated blood to the aorta

59
Q

what is ectopia cordis

A

failure of sternum to fuse, so heart is outside of the thoracic cavity

60
Q

what is dextrocardia

A

reverse rotation, so heart lies on the right side of the thorax - associated with sinus inversus (so there are little problems, but still developmental defects)

61
Q

what are the aortic malformations

A
  1. persistent ductus arteriosus
  2. coarctation of the aorta
62
Q

what is persistent ductus arteriosus

A

ductus arteriosus continues to function, allows pulmonary bypass, increased blood in pulmonary trunk coming from the higher pressured aorta, causing right ventricule hypertrophy and sending oxygenated blood to the lungs again, causes pulmonary hypertension

63
Q

what is coarctation of the aorta

A

inexplicable narrowing of aorta near ductus arteriosus

64
Q

characteristic of coarctation of the aorta

A

blood pressure to upper extremities increased and blood pressure to lower extremities is minimal (compare brachial pulse to femoral pulse - brachial would be greater, femoral would be almost nonexistent)

65
Q

what is preductal coarctation of the aorta

A

narrowing before the ductus arteriosus, so ductus arteriosus persists so it can supply poorly oxygenated blood to lower body

66
Q

what is postductal coarctation of the aorta

A

narrowing after ductus arteriosus, which is actually closed and now the ligamentum arteriosum, so blood to abdomen and lower limbs is supplied through anastamoses with intercostal arteries

67
Q

what does the aortic sac give rise to?

A
  1. ascending aorta
  2. right brachiocephalic trunk
68
Q

what does the truncus arteriosus give rise to/

A
  1. proximal part of ascending aorta
  2. pulmonary trunk
69
Q

what does the 3rd aortic arch give rise to?

A
  1. left and right common carotid
  2. left and right internal carotid
70

right arch: right pulmonary artery

left arch: left pulmonary artery, ductus arteriosus/ligamentum arteriosum

72
Q

what does the dorsal aorta give rise to?

A

right side: part of right subclavian artery

left side: arch of aorta and descending aorta

73
Q

what does the bulbar septum give rise to

A

close to entry of superior vena vava in superior portion of interatrial septum

88
Q

where are ostium secundum ASDs found

A

located near fossa ovale, encompass both septum primum and secundum defects

89
Q

what is ostium primum

A

less common form ASD, associated with endocardial cushion defects, septum primum fails to fuse with endocardial cushion, results in patent foramen primum.

90
Q

fate of right horn of sinus venosus

A

incorporates into the right atrial wall

  1. one develops into sinus venarum - smooth interior aspect of right atrial wall
  2. other develops into pulmonary veins

*abnormal septation can lead to inappropriate pulmonary connections

91
