Q

what happens to the foramen ovale at birth

A

increased systemic and vascular resistance paired with decreased RAP causes LAP to rise over the RAP

this pushes the valves of the foramen ovale against the septum secundum and closes the hole (they should eventually fuse after a few weeks)

25
describe TV orifice and MV orifice formation formation how does it grow
the truncus arteriosus and AV canal move more centrally and the orifices are formed through the growth of the inlet portion of the IVS
26
the fusion of which two structures forms most of the IVS
the inlet and trabecular IVS
27
describe the truncus formation
this structure divides with the formation of the conotruncal septum to form the prox AO and prox pulmonary A.... forms in a spiral fashion
28
more specifically, how do the AO and PA roots form
the conus cordis divides the outflow tract into R and L two swellings in the truncus arteriosus begin to grow which form a septum and divides the truncus into AO and PA
29
what is the conus cordis
superior part of the RV
30
describe the membranous IVS formation
after the TA is divided, the membranous septum forms to complete the R and L heart septation sequence
31
4 locations for VSD and their prevalence
muscular 10-20 % membranous/paramembranous 70-80% inlet septum 5% outlet septum 5%
32
another name for outlet VSD another name for inlet VSD
-infundibular VSD ....infundibulum is the ridge of muscle b/w the LVOT and RVOT -atrioventricular canal
33
2 types of outlet VSDs explain their location
supracristal and infracristal there's a ridge of smooth muscle in the RVOt called the crista supraventricularis - supracristal VSDs are above the ridge - infracristal VSDs are below the ridge
34
describe where you would see supracristal, infracristal and paramembranous VSDs in PSAX
AO zoom, supra- coming straight up infra - going to the right of the image toward the PA paramembranous - going to the left of the image towards the TV
35
what type of congenital heart defect is a VSD what does this mean
normally it is an acyanotic congenital defect means it not bad enough to cause serious hypoxia
36
in which direction does blood travel with a VSD and ASD
from left to right due to high left heart pressure... in fetus is goes from right to left.
37
what tool is used to assess a shunt of any kind (PDA, ASD, VSD)
Qp/Qs
38
study photos in notes for locations of ASDs/VSDs in various echo views
/
39
what does Qp/Qs represent
Q= volume of flow... volume of flow in the pulmonary circulation / volume of flow in the systemic circulation
40
how is Q/the volume of flow determined
by measuring the stroke volume at two intracardiac sites...
41
how to do Qp/Qs for a ASD and VSD
find the stroke volume of the pulmonary artery using RVOT diameter and VTI of the PW of the RVOT ( pie(r)^2 x VTI ) then do the same with the LVOT and divide these values you can technically do this with any valve in the heart so could use the TV for Qp and MV for Qs
42
what does Qp/Qs equal in a normal heart
1:1 because flow through the R and L sides are equal
43
what Qp/Qs values indicates a hemodynamically significant shunt
Qp/Qs of > 1.5:1
44
Qp/Qs ratio for small and large shunts
small: 1 or 1.5:1 large > 2:1
45
treatment for small, med and lrg shunts
sm: none or septal occlude device md: septal occluder device or septal patch lrg: usually septal patch
46
how are septal occlude devices deployed
intravenously
47
how are septal patchs deployed
open heart surgery
48
with a VSD, how can the increased flow effect the RV and LA
they may dilate
49
how is doing Qp/Qs different for a PDA why
for a PDA, the Qp is derived from the LVOT and the Qs is derived from the RVOT.... we want to measure flows after they have travelled through the pulmonary and systemic circulation. after the blood exits the LVOT, it travels to the MPA through the PDA then to the lungs.... we switch the values because the flow in greater in the L heart so Qs will be larger than Qp in this case
50
which side of the heart does a PDA cause increased volume
left heart ONLY (VSD and ASD are both the R and L)
51
explain the flow of blood with a PDA
blood in the ascending Ao is shunted to the MPA through the PDA, then the extra volume goes through the lungs and the PVs to empty into the LA, LV and AO again. then the cycle continues
52
explain the flow of blood with a ASD
blood is shunted from the LA to the RS, into the RV, P valve, lungs, PVs and into the LA, then back to the R heart
53
explain the flow of blood with a VSD
blood is shunted from the LV to the RV, then the P valve, lungs, PVs and LA, LV again and back to the R heart.
54
how do you calculate the RVSP with a VSD
RVSP = Systolic BP of the arm - ( 4 x (max velocity of the VSD)^2) ) second half of the equation will give you the change in pressure b/w the ventricles
55
are VSDs in adult usually small avg velocity
yes 5-6 m/sec
56
what happens to the heart if the VSD is large
Eisenmengers will occur
57
what is Eisenmengers syndrome why does it happen
when the direction of a shunt is switched to go right to left due to a large shunt in the heart that has high volume passing through it going to the lungs, causing lung damage and scarring over time... ... which causes irreversibly high pulmonary vascular resistance and severe pulmonary hypertension.
58
6 complications of Eisenmengers
``` CHF early death Brain abscess SBE - bacterial endocarditis pulmonary infarction pregnancy is contraindicated w/ Eisenmengers, extra volume would be too much for the heart, mom would likely die ```
59
how should you describe intracardiac shunts when reporting
segmental approach, then describe actual name of the defect
60
do you have to interrogate every heart for a shunt
yes
61
2 functions of the endocardial cushion
1 divides the AV canal into 2 atrioventricular orifices | 2 assist in closure of ostium primum portion of IAS and membranous portion of IVS
62
what are the 4 endocardial cushions
2 medial cushions | 2 lateral cushions
63
what do the 2 medial endocardial cushions form how does they grow
form the: septal leaflet of the TV, anterior leaflet of the MV and part of the inflow perimembranous inter ventricular septum grow from laterally from mid-line
64
what do the 2 lateral endocardial cushions form how does they grow
form the: anterior and posterior TV leaflets and the posterior MV leaflet grow from medially from the sides
65
how many sets of Ao arches originally for in the fetus
6 sets, most are absorbed into the body
66
which AO arch in the fetus forms the adult AO what do the others form into
4th Ao arch carotid and ductus arteriosus
67
what forms the AV valves
formed from the partition of the AV canal and the lateral endocardial cushions... AV valves made of connective tissue
68
what forms the SL valves
the truncus arteriosus, swelling of tissue forms the valves
69
normal route of fetal circulation stating at umbilical vein
umbilical vein > ductus venosus > IVC > RA, then the eustachian valve directs more of the blood through the foramen ovale but there are two other paths: 1) RV>PA>...LA>LV>AO 2) RV>PA>...DA>A
70
function of the eustachian valve
directs fetal blood through the foramen ovale
71
why does very little blood go through the pulmonary circulation in the fetus
fetal lungs have very high resistance vascular beds
72
how does the fetal circulation pathway change at birth
- umbilical vein closes - ductus arteriosus closes and become the ligamentum arteriosum - ductus venosus closes and becomes the ligamentum venosum - foramen ovale closes and becomes the fossa ovalis (indent where the hole was located) - RV and PA walls decrease in thickness and LV wall increase in thickness. because pressure in R heart goes down and L heart goes up
73
2 most common locations for congenital heart defects
ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale
