Laflamme- Chapter 7 (Congenital Heart + Pregnancy) Flashcards
Describe the Right atrial appendage?
-Large base, Triangular shape, Numerous pectinate muscles
What is left atrial appendage morphology?
-Narrow base, finger-shaped
What is the ductus venosus?
-Allows oxygenated umbilical blood to short-circuit the liver and reach the IVC
What is the foramen ovale?
-Allows blood derived from the IVC to go directly to the left heart perfusing the coronary arteries
What is the PDA?
Allows blood to go from the right heart to the aorta (to the placenta)
Order the 4 types of ASD by prevalence
-Secundum ASD (80%): In the fossa ovale
-Primum ASD (15%): Close to the AV valves associated with the AV canal defect
-Sinus Venosus (5%): Close to the origin of the SVC, associated with pulmonary venous connection
-Coronary sinus ASD (1%): Communication between the coronary sinus and the LA, associated with left sided SVC
What are two things that make an ASD large?
- > 10mm size
- Qo/Qs > 1.5:1
What is Lutembacher’s syndrome?
ASD + Rheumatic MS
What is Holt Oram syndrome?
-Autosomal dominant, TBX5 mutation, abnormalities of hands, secundum ASD
What are 4 physical exam findings of ASD?
-Fixed split S2
-Left parasternal heave
-TR murmur in the presence of right heart failure
-Palpable dilated PA
What are four complications of ASD?
-Right heart failure
-Atrial arrhythmias
-Paradoxical embolism
-PHT
Name 5 indications for closure of ASD?
-Dilation of right chambers
-Paradoxical embolism
-Platypnea-orthodexia
-PHT with marked left to right shunt > 1.5 :1 or with significant reactivity to vasodilator
-Do not close if irreversible PHT with sPAP > 2/3 SBP or PVR > 2/3 SVR
Name 3 anatomic criteria for percutaneous closure of ASD?
- Secundum ASD < 38mm with adequate margins
- > 5mm distance from AV valves, Coronary sinus, origin of SVC/IVC
- Normal pulmonary venous return
Also: ASVD ASD, Unroofed coronary sinus, Venosus ASD
What % of patients have PFO?
25%
How many beats needed within to see shunt/PFO on bubble study?
3 beats
What are the 4 types of VSD and describe them
Subarterial: Below the Ao and P valves , associated with AR
Membranous: Membranous septum, adjacent to Ao or T valves
AV canal: Below AV valve
Muscular: Completely surrounded by muscle
Name 7 complications of VSD?
-Left heart failure
-Pulmonary hypertension
-Progressive AR
-Double chamber RV
-Progressive subaortic stenosis
-Arrhythmias: AF, PVCs, NSVT, Post op block
-Endocarditis
What are 5 indications for VSD closure?
-Significant VSD: Symptoms or LV dysfunction, Qp:Qs > 2:1 or sPAP > 50mmhg
-Subarterial or membranous VSD with AR > moderate
-In the presence of severe PHTN (sPAP > 2/3 sbp or PVR > 2/3 SVR) closure should only be considered i nthe case of left to right shunt >1.5:1 or significant reactivity to vasodilators
-Double chamber RV with significant obstruction (MG > 40mmhg)
-Endocarditis
Name 5 complications of AV septal defect?
-Left and right AV regurgitation
-Left heart failure
-Right heart failure
-PHTn

What is echo finding of PDA?
-Flow reversal from aorta to PA visible on PSAX
-Diastolic flow reversal in the descending aorta
What are 4 complications of PDA?
-Left heart failure
-Progressive PHTn
-Arrhythmias
-Endarteritis/Ductus aneurysm
What are the consequences of supravalvular aortic stenosis?
-Coronary artery dilatation, stenosis, early CAD (due to high pressures on the coronaries)
What do you see on Ventriculography on Supravalvular stenosis?
-Ballerina foot pattern of LV
What genetic complex is associated with subvalvular aortic stenosis?
-Shone complex
What is the pathology for Aortic Coarctation?
