Q

What is TGA and explain the types?

A

When pulmonary artery and aorta swap positions.

There’s two types-
1) dTGA- where the aorta and pulmonary artery swap places so there’s 2 completely separate circulation systems
So RA—RV—Aorta—Body—RA…..
And LA—LV—PA—lungs—LA—LV…
No Sx in baby in utero but causes death on birth however can survive if PDA/VSD

2)lTGA- essentially where ventricles and associated valves swap places so essentially
RA—LV—PA—Lungs—LA—RV—Aorta—Body
Basically valves not built for the pressures so can cause RV hypertrophy —> HF

Q

Expalain the pathophysiology of CAH

A

21 hydroxylase enzyme converts progesterone into aldosterone and cortisol.

progetserone is also converted into testosterone however this is not reliant on 21 hydroxylse enzyme

in CAH due to there being no/little 21 hydroxylase enyme no/little aldosterone or cortisol is prooduced so the excess progesterone gets converted into testosterone

:. HIGH TESTOSTERONE, LOW ALDOSTERONE AND LOW CORTISOL
