Random Cardio Path HY Flashcards
heart originates from which germ cell layer
mesoderm
heartbeat established when during gestation?
3th wk
changes occurring at birth in baby
lungs expand –> inc BF, dec R, higher partial P of O2
inc SVR (removal of placenta)
inc systemic BP
inc LVP
tissue that becomes infolding of muscular roof of common atrium, and door of foramen ovale
septum secundum
origin of aorticopulmonary septum
neural crest cells
trisomy 21
associated disorders
endocardial cushion defects (common AV canal), VSD, ASD, PDA
Turner syndrome
associated disorders
coarctation of aorta
trisomy 18
associated disorders
VSD
LV hypOplasia
associated disorders
aortic stenosis
persistent trucus arteriosus
associated disorders
aortic and pulmonic outflow tract
portion of atrial septum adjacent to AV valves is developed from
endocardial cushion tissue
secundum ASD
patent foramen ovale (most common ASD)
muscular VSD
harsh, pan systolic murmur
little functional disturbances
paramembranous VSD
most common form VSD
involves the membranous septum
TOF mechanism
abnormal endocardial cushion development of conotruncus
@ which level does mixing occur w/ untreated D-TGA
ASD or VSD
T/F
D-TGA –> mixing of blood occurs at ductus arteriosus level
false
BUT keeping DA open does inc VR to LA and improve mixing at atrial level
hypOplastic left heart can lead to
MS/atresia
AS/atresia
RVH
coarctation of aorta
___ aneurysms most commonly involve aortic arch, abd aorta, iliac a.
fusiform aneurysms
aortic aneurysms predisposing condn
ATHEROSCLEROSIS
cystic medial degeneration
other (trauma/congenital defects/vasculitis/infections)
AAA rarely develop before age
AAA rarely develop before age 50
AAA usual location
below renal a., above bifurcation of aorta
AAA freq contains a
laminated mural thrombus
T. palladium
syphilitic aneurysm
condition leading to obliterative endarteritis (freq. involv vasovasorum)
syphilitic aneurysm
–> results in ischemic medial injury –> aneurysmal dilatation of the aorta and aortic annulus
Homan sign
pain w/ dorsiflexion of foot
poss DVT
myxomas
primary cardiac tumor
benign
most in LA
“ball in valve” (MS sx, syncope, sudden death)
myxoma histo
mesenchymal cells
abundant ground substance (gelatinous appearance –> myxoid, fibrous, slender cells)
rhabdomyoma
most comm primary tumor in infants/children
benign hamartoma
valvular obstruction
TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS
rhabdomyoma histo
large round polygonal myocytes w/ glycogen-rich vacuoles (CLEAR cytoplasm)
(spider-cells)
tuberous sclerosis
AD, mut TSC1 (hamartin) or TSC2 (tuberin)
mostly TSC2: more severe –> seizures, ash leaf spots, facial skin spots (angiofibromas), mental retardation
