Q

What happens around the 5th week in regards to septation of the outflow tracts? what separates them?

A

Around the 5th week, ridges appear in the truncus and conus cordis, as swelling grow together they twist around each other.

*formation of aortic arches* what does 6th arch form?
right arch forms right pulmonary artery left arch forms left pulmonary artery and ductus arteriosus
26
In utero, the fetus has a ________ systemic resistance and a _______ pulmonary resistance.
LOW SYSTEMIC RESISTANCE HIGH pulmonary RESISTANCE
27
in fetal circulation, the shunts are all (what direction)
right to left ductus arteriosus is right to left foramen ovale is right to left
28
what happens with the first breath? (4)
1. pulmonary artery pressures drop 2. O2 levels in aorta rise 3. closes the ductus arteriosus 4. increased pulmonary blood flow raises the LA pressure closing the foramen vale
29
post natal (after birth) the systemic circulation is ______ and the pulmonic circulation is _____.
systemic is high pulmonic is low
30
situs means
site or position
31
solitis means
usual or normal
32
situs solitus
normal position
33
inversus means
opposite or reverse of normal
34
situs ambiguous
uncertain, indeterminant, what the heck???
35
normal situs... the normal arrangement for the organs... what is left sided? what is right sided?
left sided: spleen, pancreas, stomach, sigmoid colon right sided: liver, cecum, appendix right main bronchus is short, left is longer
36
what are a few things that can go wrong with abdominal situ ambiguous
the abdominal organs are abnormally symmetric and inconsistent spleen may be absent, liver may be midline, both lungs may both have 2 or 3 lobes
37
situs ambiguous is associated with
HETEROTAXY
38
with heterotaxy syndrome, the incidence is _____ births with a male to female ratio of _______
1 in 10,000 births male to female ratio of 2:1
39
what is heterodoxy syndrome
a condition in which the internal organs are abnormally arranged in the chest and abdomen it's a collection of disorders usu involving the following organ systems (heart, stomach/intestine, spleen and liver)
40
Asplenia is more _________ than polysplenia
common
41
2 kinds of heterotaxy:
1. right atrial isomerism/asplenia 2. left atrial isomerism/polysplenia
42
right atrial isomerism / asplenia
refers to BILATERAL structures both of which have morphologic right characteristics, such as morphological right atrial appendages, morphological right bronchi, and bilateral tri-lobed lungs. Could have problems with valves and septal defects, particularly pulm valve... may also have pulmonary venous connections. spleen may be absent and the liver and other organs on other side of body
43
left atrial isomerism / polysplenia
refers to bilateral structures both of which have morphological left characteristics such as morphological left atrial appendages, left bronchi, and bilateral bi-lobed lungs. may have septal defects as well as problems with valves and the electrical system. Some have complete heart block. No spleen or many small spleens.
44
3 positions of heart in thorax
levocardia (think "L" is left) mesocardia (think "M" for middle) dextrocardia (think "D" that's my name and I'm always "right")
45
what is cardiac malposition
abnormal location of the heart relative to the position (situs) of the abdominal viscera
46
out of the 3 heart positions in the thorax, which one is normal
levocardia
47
2 kinds of dextrocardia
primary and secondary
48
whats the difference between primary and secondary dextrocardia
primary - due to a congenital heart defect. In primary dextrocardia the apex usu. points to right secondary - heart is pushed or pulled toward the right due to an extracardiac abnormality (emphysema, hernia) Apex may point to the left or right
49
atrial situs ambiguous... there is no_______. What else... any other involvements with vessels?
commonly there is ONE atria due to NO septum. IVC can be interrupted. Can be. bilateral SVC. Coronary sinus can be unroofed (meaning IVC drains into coronary sinus and may look like IVC/LA connection) ***can't use pulm. veins to identify left atrium bc could. drain into something else
50
ventricular concordance, av concordance is.
normal disconcordance is abnormal *study images
51
what is. the infundibulum
it is the connecting segment between the ventricles and the great arteries smooth-walled portion of right ventricle directly below pulmonary valve aorticopulmonary septum: division b between aorta and pulm trunk formed from the bulbar ridges
52
IVC is usu ______ and to the right of the _______
anterior, aorta
53
54
levocardia is normal heart position. true or false
true
55
The shunts are all ______ to _______ in utero
right to left
56
resting HR for EKG pediatrics
90-190 bpm
57
transdx for newborn, what frequency
7.5 Mhz or higher... 12 is ideal * for comparison, teenage to adult is 2-2.5 MHz
58
atrial shunting can be best evaluated from what view(s)
subxiphoid (subcostal) long-axis or short-axis views of atrial septum (bicaval)
59
patency of IVC in what view
subcostal long axis
60
high left parasternal ductal view how to get
high parasternal about one rib space up from the PA view.... from PLAX view rotate transdx 30-45 degrees counterclockwise... this aligns beam with ductus for patent ductus arteriosus view
61
the pulmonary artery sits _____ and _____ to the aorta
anterior and to the left (anatomical)
62
in older adults over 60, what gland atop the heart is mostly replaced by fat
thymus
63
the left atrial appendage can often be mistaken for the
left upper pulmonary vein
64
the pulmonary veins are best evaluated in what view
a high left parasternal or suprasternal short axis view (crab view)
65
USU do not measure what function in children.
left ventricular
66
for linear measurements in children, where should you. measure for LV internal diameter
Short axis @ MV leaflet tips As opposed to adults, parasternal long axis views are recommended instead
67
LA volumes measured at what part of cardiac cycle
end-systole before MV opens
68
Most. common spot for an aortic arch coarctation
aortic isthmus
69
Measurement. of arterial vessels should be made at what point. in cardiac cycle
during mid-systole or at their most expanded
70
endocarditis of Lupus involves typically what valves
MV and TV
71
Myocardial toxicity in it most severe form causes
potentially fatal CHF
72
Most frequently associated cardiac abnormality with muscular dystrophy is
cardiomyopathy either Duchenne (CM) or Becker's (DM)
73
Lupus can manifest as these conditions of the heart
myocarditis pericarditis endocarditis
74
rheumatic fever commonly affects what valves and can cause what
AoV and MV can cause myocarditis with impaired function
75
lutembacher syndrome is a combo of
mitral stenosis and left-to-right atrial shunt (can be. congenital or acquired)
76
other than the subcostal view, what other view is great to see the pulmonary veins
suprasternal
