Peds Cardio Flashcards
What Heart Sound is this?
- Respiratory inspiration:
- ↑ blood flow to right heart
- ↑ blood into RV
- Delays emptying of RV
- Prolongs the closure of S2
S2: Pulmonary Component
What abnormal heart sounds are these 5 assocaited?
- Widely Split-Electrical delay (RBBB), VSD repair (TOF)
- Fixed Split- Volume overload (ASD)
- Narrowed Split Pulmonary hypertension (loud S2)
- Paradoxical Split-Electrical delay (LBBB)
- Single Complex heart defect (TGA) or single ventricle defect (only 1 semilunar valve)
Abnormal S2 Sounds
What are the Inspiratory, Expiratory, and Both Sound Splits?
Inspiration: Normal Split, Narrow Split
Expiratory: Paradoxical
Both: Wide and Wide Fixed
What are the Other Adventitious Heart Sounds?
S3 Sound
Best heard at apex
Rapid ventricular filling/volume overload
Pregnancy, MR/TR
Common variant in children
S4 Sound
Low pitch sound in late diastole
Best head at apex
Obstruction, ↓ ventricular compliance
Pathological
Hypertension, cardiomyopathy
Pulmonary stenosis
What does a Friction rub mean?
Pericarditis
What are the 3 innocent Murmurs?
- Still’s murmur
- Venous hum murmur
- Peripheral pulmonary stenosis
What are the 3 Pathologic Murmurs
- Systolic
- Diastolic
- Continuous
How can you Eval Murmurs?
- Timing of cardiac cycle
- Location
- Grade, intensity
- Shape
- Radiation:
Neck > aortic stenosis
Back > pulmonary valve stenosis
Axilla > peripheral pulmonary murmur
- Positional changes
What Murmur grade are thrills present?
4/6 and above
How can you Evaluate Murmurs?
- Standing position: ↑ Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,↑ Mitral valve prolapse,↓ Aortic stenosis
- Valsalva:↓ Innocent heart murmur, ↑ HCM
- Standing & Valsalva ↓ all murmurs, except… (↓ blood flow to left heart)
What Murmur is this?
- Most common innocent heart murmur
- 3 – 6 years of age
- Normal EKG
- Low frequency, musical, vibratory sound
- LMSB, LLSB, apex
•Loudest in supine position & stress (fevers)
- Changes intensity with sitting position
- Outgrow in adolescent years
- No echocardiogram needed
Still’s Murmur
What Murmur is this?
- AKA cervical hum murmur
- 3 – 6 years of age
- Turbulence due jugular venous drainage
- Continuous murmur (right side > left side)
- Base of the heart
- Diastolic component louder than systolic
- Loudest with upright position
- Decreased with supine or turning neck
- No echocardiogram needed
Venous Hum Murmur
What type of Cyanosis is this?
- Acrocyanosis
- Normal saturations & PaO2
- Normal transitional newborn physiology
Peripheral Cyanosis
What Cyanosis is this?
- Blue lips, tongue
- Low saturations
- Low saturations & PaO2
- Congenital heart defect
Central Cyanosis
What type of Cyanosis is this?
- Benign variant
- Vasospasm of small arterioles
- Normal pulses
- No oxygen desaturations
- No pathological murmur
- Reassurance
Acrocyanosis
What are the 3 Fetal Circulation Shunts?
Ductus venosus
Foramen ovale
Ductus arteriosus
What Shunt is this?
- Post-natal can provide pulmonary of systemic BF
- Functional closes 12-90 hours
- Anatomically closes 2-3 weeks
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
PDA helps Mix blood. What color is the baby?
1) Clue to congenital heart defect, PDA closing
2) Poor prognosis: intracardiac shunt closed, Need PGE to open PDA
3) PDA patency open, Palliation to provide PBF or systemic blood flow, Saturations 75-90%
1) Blue Baby
2) Grey Baby
3) Blue or Purple Baby
What are Congenital Heart Defect Sxs?
Think DNA nucleotides (ATGC)
- Tachypnea: (L-R shunt), CXR: pulmonary edema, cardiomegaly
- Cyanosis: (R-L shunt or obstruction to lungs), “Blue baby” = Cyanosis
- “Grey baby”: (↓ or no systemic blood flow), Poor perfusion, Lactic acidosis
What are the 4 Congenital Heart Defects?
* associations*
1) ASD, VSD, PDA
2) TOF, TGA, TA (X2)
3) PS, COA
4) HLHS
1) Acyanotic Defects
2) Cyanotic Defects
3) Obstructive Defects
4) Complex heart defect/ signle ventricle
