SV, HLHS, HRHS- Topic 16 and 17 Flashcards
SV Physiology
Single function pumping chamber
Valves/Outflow tracts may be disrupted
What’s the goal of SV physiology?
Must control/balance PA and Aortic flow
HRHS aka….
PA with IVS (may have tricuspid atresia)
Types of Single Ventricle Syndromes
HLHS
HRHS
HLHS was first successfully treated in the mid 1980’2 by who? Where? Under who?
Dr. William Norwood; Philadelphia Children’s Hospital; under Dr. Aldo Castaneda

Baby Fae

HLHS
severe congenital heart defect in which the left side of the heart does not develop
HLHS is characterized by….
Atretic, hypoplastic aorta and arch Large PDA Hypoplastic LV Small MV and/or AV Hopefully, an ASD allowing blood returning from lungs to reach the single ventricle
What is the only blood flow to the body in HLHS?
PDA
In HLHS, the ASD can be ________ or __________.
Restrictive or non-restrictive
HRHS
refers to underdevelopment of the right sided structures of the heart; these defects cause inadequate blood flow to the lungs and thus, a cyanotic infant
WHat is the major problem in HRHS?
Pulmonary Valve atresia
