Smith 5 - Cardiovascular Flashcards
ASD is more common in
calves
VSD location
- mostly in the perimembranous septum
- just ventral to aortic valve
- <2.5cm
- seen on LVOT echo
loud, harsh, plateau shaped pan systolic murmur, PMI tricuspid area (R)
+ softer crescendo-descrendo holosystolic murmur in pulmonic area (L)
VSD murmur
crescendo-decrescendo shaped, low to moderate intensity, non radiating murmur PMI L heart base
innocent flow murmur
VSD shunt
L ventricle to R ventricle
continuous machinery murmur loudest in L ICS 3-4 at POS
PDA
- OR aortocardiac fistula in adult onset
PDA occurs in
foals - should close by 96 hrs
calves - very rare
major risk with PDA
pulmonary artery dilatation and rupture
Tetralogy of Fallot
- overriding aorta
- VSD
- obstruction of pulmonary flow (p stenosis)
- RV hypertrophy
how does tetralogy occur
abnormal development of the conal septum, pulmonic stenosis, septum can’t close (VSD)
loud pan systolic murmur w/ palpable thrill loudest in L ICS 3-4
+ band shaped tricuspid murmur
Tetralogy
-will be crescendo-dec (pulmonic Sten) or harsh plateau shaped (VSD)
holosystolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur at L heart base in a calf
ASD - patent formen ovale
persistent truncus arteriosus
one arterial vessel leaves the heart above a VSD; coronary and pulmonary aa.s and aorta arise from this
pseudotruncus arteriosis
pulmonary blood supply comes from bronchial arteries or a PDA
most common aortic anomaly in calves / foals
dextropositioning or transposition
heart located in the cervical region
ectopia cordis cervicalis
most common bacteria in endocarditis
strep, pasturella, actinobacillus, truperella pyogenes
murmur PMI L base ICS 4
holosystolic musical de-crescendo
aortic valve
murmur PMI L base ICS 3
pulmonic
tricuspid murmur
R ICS 3-4= horse
R ICS 2-3 = cattle
widely radiating musical murmur with honking quality
major mitral valve ruptured chordae tendinae
- respiratory distress!!
- acute CV collapse, pulmonary edema
crescendo mid-systolic to late-sys or holo-sys murmur with PMI over the mitral valve in a horse
MV prolapse
signs of MR on echo
increase LA and LV dimensions, rounded LV apex, pattern of L volume overload
- increased FS
- decreased contractility
