Q

What heart defect is a result of narrowing of the aorta near the ductus arteriosus?

A

Coarctation of the Aorta

17
Q

What are 3 symptoms noted in infants shortly after birth that have severe narrowing with Coarctation of the Aorta?

A
  1. pale skin
  2. sweating
  3. shortness of breath
18
Q

What congenital heart defect occurs when the ductus arteriosus does not close after birth?

What is the ductus aretrious function in the fetus?

A

Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Function is to shunt blood from pulmonary artery directly to the descending aorta (bypassing lungs)

19
Q

What are 2 major complications of a PDA (patent ductus arteriosus)?

A

pulmonary hypertension and heart failure

20
Q

What is a hole in the septum separating the right and left ventricles?

This causes blood to be pumped where?

A

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)

too much blood will be pumped to the lungs, leading to heart failure

21
Q

Tetraology of Fallot is a combination of what 4 heart defects?

A
  1. ventricular septal defect (VSD)
  2. pulmonary stenosis
  3. right ventricular hypertrophy
  4. aorta overriding the ventricular septal defect
22
Q

What is the Cardinal symptoms of Cor Pulmonale?

A

Shortness of breath

23
Q

What is Cor Pulmonale also known as?

A

RIGHT sided heart failure

24
Q

What condition is typically a chronic condition resulting from longterm hypertension in the pulmonary arteries?

A

Cor Pulmonale AKA right sided heart failure

25
Q

What are functional deficits of the heart with Cor Pulmonale?

A

right ventricle is unable to effectively pump blood due to prolonged presence of pulmonary hypertension and increased right ventricular afterload

26
Q

What is inflammation of the endothelium that lines the heart and cardiac valves and is caused by bacteria that enters the blood?

A

Endocarditis
