Heart Murmurs Flashcards
what type of shunt for ASD
L –> R
MCC cause Atrial septal defect
ostium secundum
second MC - ostium primum
Murmur and PE for ASD
Grade 2-6 systolic crescendo decrescendo ejection murmur @ LUSB 2nd ICS
wide, fixed split S2 that does not vary with respirations
may develop Eisenmenger
Dx ASD
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
Tx ASD
Most close spontaneously by age 3 (3-8mm)
close by 2-6y if large
MC congenital heart dz in childhood
VSD
What type of shunt for VSD
L –> R
VSD murmur and PE
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
Dx VSD
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
Tx VSD
Observe - most close by 12 mos
Patch closure by 2 years if large/sx (digoxin and diuretics first if large)
Shunt for Tetralogy of fallot
R –> L (cyanotic)
MC cyanotic heart defect in kids
Tetralogy of Fallot
4 main things for tetralogy of fallot
PROVe
pulmonary stenosis
RVH
Overriding aorta
Ventricular septal defect
Murmur tetralogy of fallot
Harsh systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur LUSB (pulmonic) - due to RV outflow obstruction NOT VSD
Right ventricular heave (RVH)
loud single S2
Dx tetralogy of fallot
Echo
CXR - boot shaped heart - upturned apex and concave pulmonary artery (decreased pulmonary vascular markings)
EKG - increased RA and RV; check QRS annually
