Peds cardiology Flashcards
what is the most common congential heart defect?
ventricular septal defect
murmur associated with ventricular septal defect
holosystolic
large ventricular septal defect present with
- failure to thrive
- tachypnea
- hepatomegaly
- GERD
what is the most common heart defect in Trisomy 21 (down syndrome)
ventricular septal defect
ventricular septal defect is what type of shunt
L to R shunt
medication based treatment of ventricular septal defect
- diuretic
- ACE inhibitor
what is the most common type of atrial septal defect
secundum ASD
- failure of septum primum and septum secundum to overlap
atrial septal defect is what type of shunt? What changes are made to the heart because of it?
- L to R shunt
- enlarged RA, increased pulmonary flow
symptoms associated with atrial septal defect
- usually asymptomatic, may have fatigue, palpitations, or exercise intolerance
what size of atrial septal defect usually close on thier own
< 8 mm
septation of the atrioventricular canal usually occurs when? How?
end of 4th week
- superior and inferior cushions grow toward each other and eventually fuse seperating AV canal into a right and left channel
what is a complete atrioventricular septal defect
- large VSD and ASD
- common AV valve
what type of shunt is atrioventricular septal defect
L-R shunt
complete atrioventricular septal defect is repaired in infancy to prevent what
pulmonary vascular obstructive disease
What is a partial atrioventricular septal defect
- Large ASD, no VSD
- two seperate AV valves
repair of partial atrioventricular septal defect is usually delayed until
18-24 months old
patent ductus arteriosus is what type of shunt
- L-R shunt (aorta to pulmonary artery)
medical treatment of patent ductus arteriosus
- indomethacin
- ibuprofen
