Q

Dx ASD

A

Echo - initial best
EKG - RBBB, crochetage age sign (notching of peak of R wave in inferior leads)
CXR - cardiomegaly, dilation of RA and RV and prominent main pulmonary artery segment and increased pulmonary vascular markings
Cardiac Cath - definitive; rarely used

Q

VSD murmur and PE

A

high pitched harsh holosystolic murmur at LLSB (3rd or 4th ICS)
may have thrill at mitral area
may have diastolic rumble at mitral area
handgrip increases murmur

can develop eisenmenger

Q

Dx VSD

A

Echo > Cath
EKG - may be normal, may have LVH, may have LVH + RVH (katz-wachtel phenomenon)
CXR - may be normal, may have enlarged pulmonary artery and increased pulmonary vasculature

Q

Tx VSD

A

Observe - most close by 12 mos
Patch closure by 2 years if large/sx (digoxin and diuretics first if large)

Q

Dx tetralogy of fallot

A

Echo
CXR - boot shaped heart - upturned apex and concave pulmonary artery (decreased pulmonary vascular markings)
EKG - increased RA and RV; check QRS annually

16
Q

Tx tetralogy of fallot

A

surgery (definitive - within 12 mos, ideally 3-6 months)
prostaglandins pre-surgery to maintain PDA (provides adequate LE perfusion)

17
Q

what is a PDA

A

persistent communication between pulmonary artery and descending thoracic aorta

18
Q

shunt for PDA

A

L –> R

19
Q

what promotes patency of PDA

A

low oxygen
prostaglandins

20
Q

murmur and PE for PDA

A

continuous machine like murmur loudest at pulmonic area (LUSB 2nd ICS)

wide pulse pressure (> 30 mmHg)

bounding peripheral pulses

21
Q

what is coarctation of the aorta

A

congenital narrowing of the aortic lumen at the distal arch or descending aorta, causing HTN in UE relative to LE

22
Q

where does the narrowing in coarctation of aorta MC occur

A

below the origin of the left subclavian artery

23
Q

what two things is coarctation of the aorta MC associated with

A

bicuspid aortic valve
Turner’s syndrome

24
Q

Murmur and PE for coarctation of the aorta

A

harsh systolic murmur along the left sternal border radiation to the back, left infrascapular region, or chest; murmur could be late systolic or continuous

UE HTN with LE Hypotension

diminished or delayed femoral pulses

25
Q

Dx coarctation of the aorta

A

echo
CXR - posterior rib notching; figure 3 sign (narrowed aorta)
EKG - LVH
angiography - gold standard

26
Q

what is the gold standard dx for coarctation of the aorta

A

angiography

27
Q

tx coarctation of aorta

A

surgery - balloon angioplasty with or without stent placement

prostaglandins prep to maintain PDA

28
Q

inheritance of HCM

A

autosomal dominent

29
Q

is HCM diastolic or systolic dysfunction

A

diastolic

30
Q

histology HCM

A

myocyte hypertrophy w a gross disarray of myofibrils and disorganization of muscle architecture

31
Q

PE and murmur for HCM

A

S4

pulses bisferiens - biphasic pulse

harsh crescendo decrescendo systolic murmur heard at apex and LLSB - no carotid radiation

decreased with sitting, squatting, supine, leg raise

32
Q

Dx HCM

A

echo - asymmetric ventricular wall thickness (esp inter ventricular septum) 15 mm or greater

EKG - LVH, prominent abnormal Q waves

33
Q

Tx HCM

A

BB - first line
Non DHP CCB (verapamil, diltiazem)

34
Q

what med is contraindicated for HCM

A

digoxin
