Q

Describe heart formation

A
  1. Day 21- two endocardial tubes fuse to form our primitive heart tube.
  2. Day 23- RIGHT folding of the heart occurs.

To do so, the bulbus cordis and the ventricles proliferate quickly, causing the heart to bend on itself and form a bulboventricular loop that bends to the right.

  1. As this occurs, the atria and SV rotate superior and posterior (they come to lie dorsally).

2. Septum secundum

44
Q

What are the foramen of the septum primum called?

A
  1. Foramen primum (ostium primum)
  2. Foramen secundum (ostium primum)
45
Q

What is the foramen in septum secundum?

A

Foramen ovale (ostium ovale)

46
Q

How does septation of the atrium occur?

A
  1. Septum primum will grow down and fuse with the endocardial (AV) cushions.
  2. Apoptosis beings to occur on the septum primum, forming the foramen secundum (ostium secundum)
  3. When fusion occurs, the foramen primum (ostium primum) goes away.
  4. At day 40, septum secundum (which overlaps the septum primum) fuses with the endocardial cushion, forming the foramen ovale (ostium ovale).
  5. Blood can now enter the R atrium–> shunt through the foramen ovale (ostium ovale) of the septum secundum–> foramen secundum (ostium secundum) of our septum primum–> L atrium

—–thus, this forms a R–> L atrial shunt. ——

47
Q

What is the shunt between the R and L atrium?

A

foramen primum.

48
Q

The formation of what ensures shunting?

A

Foramen secundum

49
Q

After septation of atrium is complete, what do we have?

Interventricular septum

Has a membranous part and a muscular part

56
Q

Interventricular septum is made of ___________, which becomes _______.

A

Splanchnic mesoderm, which becomes muscle.

57
Q

Septation of the ventricle

A
  1. Interventricular septum attempts to migrate to the endocardial cusion.
  2. Muscular portion does not meet, forming the interventricular foramen.
58
Q

Septation of the bulbus cordis and truncus arteriosus.

A
  1. NC cells associated with the 3, 4, 6 pharyngeal arches migrate to the truncus arteriosus and bulbus cordis (conus cordis), dividing the outflow tract.
  2. NC cells form bulbar (conotruncal ridges) and truncal ridges
  3. Spiral 180 degrees.
  4. Bulbar and truncal ridges migrate to the midline and form–> aorticopulmonary septum, which divides bulbus cordis and truncus arteriosus into ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk.
  5. Aorticopulmonary septum fuses with the endocardial cushion
  6. Bulbus cordis on the R side of ventricle –> conus arteriousis

Bulbus cordis on L side–> aortic vestibule.

59
Q

Once the musclar portion of the interventricular septum is formed, there is still a hole near the endocardium cusion where it did not fuse, what covers the hole?

A

Membranous interventricular septum made from endocardial cushion and neural crest cells from our left and right bulbar ridges.

60
Q

Once the right and left bulbar ridges fuse to the [endocardium cushions], the interventricular foramen disappears and forms what?

A

Membranous part of the interventricular septum

61
Q

What are the most common birth defects and why?

A

Defects in the membranous part of the interventricular septum, due to neural crest cells.

62
Q

What does the membranous interventricular divide?

A

L and R ventricle

—-also—-

R atrium from the L ventricle

63
Q

How do we get formation of our cusps for our valves?

A

As the ridges are fusing, we get formation of dorsal valve swellings, which are derived from mesenchyme (NC and mesoderm).

64
Q

Heart has been beating since day 22. How do the valves form?

A

Blood is forced through the developing valves and when at rest, blood drops down, hitting the ventral and dorsal swelling, eroding, forming strong CT and the cusps!

65
Q

What occurs to the baby when there is no shunt or a L–>R shunt?

A

Acyanotic bb.

66
Q

What occurs to the baby when there is a R–> L shunt?

A

cyanotic bb

occurs affter bb is born

67
Q

What occurs if there is NO shunt?

A

1. Abnormality of the aortic arches

2. Coarctation of the aorta

68
Q

Describe fetal circulation.

A
  1. Blood fromes in R atrium –> L atrium.
  2. L atrium–> L ventricle–> aorta.
  3. Blood is sent to the head via the common carotid and subclavian and body.

What about the lungs?

However, the blood in the R ventricle is not as oxygenated and the lungs do not need much O2, so when it sends blood to the lungs via the R ventricle, ductus arteriousus will shunt it from the pulmonary trunk– > aorta.

The blood we deliver has medium oxygen content.

69
Q

Once baby is born (neonatal life)

What is a acyanotic shunt?

A

L–>R shunt.

Oxygenated blood is shunted to right.

Body is still receiving enough O2.

70
Q

Once baby is born (neonatal life)

What is a cyanotic shunt?

A

R shunt –> left shunt

O2 poor is mixing with O2 rich.

Dilutes and bb becomes cyonatic (blue)

71
Q

if the ductus arteriosus if still prevelant after birth (connects pulmonary trunk to aorta) what will happen?

(PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS)

A

L–R shunt

Acyonatic.

High pressure from the aorta will cause blood to go into pulmonary trunk–> lung

O2 rich blood–> O2 poor blood.

72
Q

Why doesnt our PDA close?

A
  1. Low O2
  2. Too much Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), made by the placenta and mediated by
    * COX-2*
73
Q

How can we treat PDA?

A

Cox-2 inhibitor (because COX-2 makes the PGE2) like ibuprofin and indomethacin

This will cause PDA to close after 72 hours.

74
Q

What are characteristics of PDA?

A

Characteristics depend on size of PDA

1. continuous murmur

2. Poor eating,

3. Sweating while crying or eating

4. Tachypnea

5. Increase heart rate.

75
Q

What is a result of a persistent ductus arteriosus?

A

The high pressure in aorta goes to the lungs and destroys capillary beds.

76
Q

How can we detect PDA on X-ray?

A
  1. Opaque lungs due to pulmonary edema
  2. Enlarged heart
77
Q

Atrial septal defects are more common in: F or M

A

Females

78
Q

ASD can occur as secundum ASD (defect in septum secundum) or primum ASD (defect in septum primum. Is this defect cyanotic or acyanotic?

A

Acyanotic.

L–> R side shunting.

79
Q

What is secundum ASD?

A

A. Hole is middle on the interatrial septum.

B. Involves a patent foramen ovale.

C. Excesive cell death during formation of foramen secundum and reabsorption of septum primum

or septum secundum not developing properly.

80

A

No direct access from left to right, but can put probe through one atrium to the other.

Incomplete adhesion between foramen ovale and septum secundum

81

84
Q

What can be heard during VSDs?

A

murmur in left/lower sternal border or left 3-4th intercostal space

85
Q

Types of AV septal defects

right ventricle–>aorta

left ventricle –> pulmonary trunk

AND interventricular septal defect?

A

Corrected transposition of the Great Vessels

90
Q

Is corrected transposition of the great vessels defect acyanotic or cyanotic, and what embryological event does this?

A

Acyanotic because left to right shunt, caused by:

1. Neural crest and improper separation of outflow tract.

2. Reversed rotation of the heart

91
Q

To tell whether shunt is R–>L or L–R, how can we tell?

A

Look at pressures.

L has high pressure

R has low pressure: L–>R shunt.

92
Q

What occurs in the defect: transposition of great vessels?

A
  1. Great vessels are from wrong ventricles
  2. VSD
  3. PDA

Last two are needed: otherwise will never get oxygenated blood to body

93
Q

How does transposition of great vessels occur embryologically?

A

CYANOTIC because oxygenated blood goes to pulmonary trunk

Neural crest cells do not spiral 180 degrees.
