32
Q

What are the most common cardiac malformations?

33
Q

In what heart abnormality is it common to see VSD’s?

34
Q

What are the four types of VSD’s?

A
  1. Inlet - close to the TV’s- can detect in 4Ch view
  2. Outlet - most superior and close to the AoV and PV
  3. Trabecular AKA midmuscular or central
  4. Apical - Past the insertion point of the moderator band
35
Q

Most common types of ASD’s in order?

A
  1. Ostium secundum - m/c
  2. Ostium primum
  3. Sinus venosus
36
Q

Which ASD is most commonly associated with a AV defect?

A

Ostium primum as it is right next to the IVS

37
Q

In what abnormality will result in fetal death without the presence of an ASD?

A

Transposition of the great vessels

38
Q

What are AVSD’s also called?

A

AV canal or endocardial cushion defect

39
Q

What heart abnormality is associated with all trisomies?

40
Q

What is the most common severe left sided obstructive lesion?

A

Hypoplastic L heart syndrome

41
Q

What heart defect is the most common cause of death or stillbirth?

A

Hypoplastic L heart syndrome

42
Q

What abnormality may not present until 2nd trimester?

A

hypoplastic L heart syndrome

42
Q

What findings in the 2nd trimester is suspicious of hypoplastic L heart syndrome?

A

Mitral stenosis

43
Q

What does RV hypoplasia generally result from?

A

Pulmonary atresia but can also occur due to tricuspid atresia

44
Q

What heart abnormality is seen with a ductal-dependent lesion?

A

RV hypoplasia

45
Q

What is a progressive lesion that tends to worsen as pregnancy continues?

A

Tricuspid atresia

46

What are the connections in the heart with incomplete TGA?

A

RA connects to LV which connects to PA

LA connects to RV which connect to Ao

Why does truncus arteriosis occur?

A

Failure of the pulmonary and aortic trunks to fuse

61

Q

What is the most common type of DORV?

A

DORV with a subaortic VSD

63
Q

Where is the VSD in a VSD type DORV?

A

Below the aorta

Q

Where is the VSD in a TGA type DORV?

A

Below the pulmonary artery

65
Q

Where is the VSD in a Fallot type?

A

Doubly-commited meaning there is a VSD below both the PA and Ao and pulmonary stenosis

66
Q

Where is the VSD in a non-committed DORV?

A

VSD is in a remote location

67
Q

What two cardiac abnormalities will you see the Ao and PA running in parallel rather than crossing over?

68
Q

A strong association of poorly controlled diabetes has contributed to what heart abnormality?

69
Q

What is the most common fetal cardiac tumour?

A

Rhabdomyoma

A) Posteriorly
B) Anteriorly
C) Laterally
D) Medially

A

Anteriorly

72
Q

How do you obtain the 3VV from a 4CH?
