Q

With standing and valsalva you have decreased blood flow to the heart. What happens to murmurs?

A

Standing & valsalva –> quieter murmurs

EXCEPT–>Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

20
Q

With lying supine or sitting what happens to blood flow and murmurs?

A

More blood return, louder murmurs

21
Q

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy murmur

A

louder with standing and valsalva

22
Q

Stills Murmur

A
  • MC innocent murmur
  • age 3-6
  • Low frequency, musical, vibratory
  • Loudest when supine
  • Normal EKG
23
Q

Venous Hum Murmur

A
  • Turbulence due to jugular venous drainage
  • continous murmur
  • age 3-6
  • Base of the heart
  • Diastolic louder than systolic
  • Loudest in upright position
  • Decrease with supine, or turning neck
24
Q

Peripheral pulmonary stenosis (PPS)

A
  • turbulence due to mild narrowing of the pulmonary arteries
  • common in newborns/infants preterm**
  • Mid-systolic ejection murmur
  • LUSB
  • Radiates to axilla and back
25
Q

Acrocyanosis

A
  • benign
  • peripheral cyanosis
  • normal pulses

Tx: reassurance

26
Q

If patient has a Left to Right shunt, what will the CXR show?

A

“wet lungs”

large heart

27
Q

Right to left shunt (obstruction to the lungs)

A

“blue”

CXR: Low PBF

28
Q

What causes Grey Baby

A

Decreased systemic blood flow
-lactic acidosis

Tx: prostaglandin PGE to open PDA

29
Q

Acyanotic Heart Defects

A
  • Volume load on heart*
  • ->breathing too fast to eat*
  • Increased pulmonary blood flow “wet lungs”
  1. Ventricular septal defect
  2. Atrial septal defect
  3. Patent ductus arteriosus
  4. AV-canal defect (Down syndrome)

-no prostaglandins (PGE) required

Tx: Ace inhibitor, Diuretic

30
Q

Atrial septal defect

A
  • Right heart volume overload
  • Fixed or widened S2 pulmonary component (LUSB)
  • usually closes by age 4

-MC version is the secundum ASD in the middle of the atrial wall

31
Q

Ventricular Septal Defect

A
  • Left heart volume overload (LVH)
  • Harsh, holosystolic murmur
  • Mid-LSB
32
Q

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

A

-Left heart volume load (sx of heart failure)
-LUSB, infraclavicular
-Continuous, machinery murmur
-Widen pulse pressures/Bounding pulses
Tx: Prostaglandins to help close

33
Q

Atrioventricular Canal Defect

A

-Trisomy 21
-Pulmonary hypertension
-Heart volume overload/HF symptoms
EKG: superior QRS axis

Tx: surgery 4-6 months

34
Q

Cyanotic heart defects require what?

A

prostaglandins to maintain patency of PDA

*does not improve with oxygen

35
Q

Complex Heart

A

-Single ventricle

36
Q

Where is pulse oximetry placed?

A

Pre-ductal on right hand

**Needs to be above 95% sat to pass

Failing is below 90%
-Recheck every hour
