Heart Disorders Flashcards
3 defects that increase pulmonary blood flow
Ventricular septum defect vsd
Atrial septal defect asd
Patent ductus arteriosus
Hole in septum between right and left ventricle that results in increased pulmonary blood flow flow (left to right shunt)
Ventricular septal defect
A hole in septum between right and left atria that results in increased pulmonary blood flow
Atrial septal defect
Condition where normal fetal circulation conduit between pulmonary artery and aorta fails to close causing increased pulmonary blood flow (left to right shunt)
( The fetal duct between the pulmonary artery and the aorta does not close)
Patent ductus arteriosus
**common in premies
Do vsd require surgery or close on their own?
Close
On their own
Loud hard murmur, heart failure, closes on it own early in life
Ventricular septal defect
Loud hard murmur with fixed split second heart sound, heart failure, asxs sometimes
Atrial septal defect
Machine him systolic murmur, wide pulse pressure, bounding pulse, asxs sometimes, heart failure, rales
Patent ductus arteriosus
3 types of obstructive defects
Pulmonary stenosis
Aortic stenosis
Coarctation of aorta
Type of heart defect where blood flow exiting the heart meets an area of narrowing (stenosis) which causes obstruction of blood flow resulting in decreased cardiac output
Obstructive defects
Narrowing of pulmonary valve or pulmonary artery that result in obstruction of blood flow from ventricles
Pulmonary stenosis
Systolic ejection murmur, asxs sometimes, cyanosis with worsening narrowing, cardiomegaly, heart failure
Pulmonary stenosis
Narrowing of aortic valve
Aortic stenosis
Aortic stenosis in infants vs children
Infant- faint pulse, hypotension, tachycardia, poor feeding
Children- intolerance to exercise, dizziness, chest pain, possible ejection murmur
Narrowing of lumen of aorta, usually at or near the ductus arteriosus that results In Obstruction of blood flow from aorta
Coarctation of aorta
Elevated bp in arms, bounding pulse in upper extremities, decreased bp in lower extremities + weak absent pulses lower, heart failure in infants, dizziness, headache, fainting, nosebleeds
Coarctation of aorta
2 heart defect that decrease pulmonary blood flow
Tricuspid atresia
Tetralogy of fallot
These type of defects have hypercyanotic spells
Defects that decrease pulmonary Bld flow - tricuspid atresia and tetralogy of fallot
Complete closure of tricuspid valve resulting in mixed blood flow. + atrial septal opening defect that allows blood to enter left atrium
(Tricuspid valve is closed and septal defect )
Tricuspid atresia
Infants va children sxs tricuspid atresia
Infants: cyanosis, dyspnea, tachycardia
Children: hypoxemia, clubbing of fingers
4 defects of tetralogy of fallot
Pulmonary stenosis
Ventricular septal defect
Overriding aorta
Right ventricular hypertrophy
