Test 1 Flashcards
Ventricular Septal Defects
Left to right shunting of blood in ventricles. More blood is pumped to the lungs. R. ventricle hypertrophy develops if untreated. Increase in R side pressure over L side. Cyanosis visible.
Persistent Truncus Arteriosus
Failure of conotruncal ridge formation and fusion causing VSD. Mild cyanosis.
Tetralogy of Fallot
PROV 1. Pulmonary stenosis 2. R. ventricular hypertrophy 3. Overriding aorta 4. VSD Most common defect at birth
Transposition of the great vessels
No spiraling of the conotruncal ridges leading to improper connection. Aorta is connected to R ventricle and Pulmonary A is connected to L ventricle. Linked to maternal diabetes
Pulmonary Valvular atresia
Fusion of the pulmonary valve. Hypoplastic R ventricle and hypertrophy L ventricle. ASD and patent ductus arteriosis allows for any O2 exchange.
Aortic Valvular Stenosis
1-2% incidence with prevalence in 4:1 male to female ratio. Hypertrophy of L ventricle
Aortic Valvular Atresia
No outlet for L ventricle. Potentially large patent ductus arteriosis with L to R atrial shunting via ASD.
Bicuspid Aortic Valve
2 leaflets instead of 3 within the aorta. Can be asymptomatic but can develop L ventricle hypertrophy. Aortic aneurysms associated with disease.
Tricuspid Atresia
Hypoplastic R ventricle. Patent foramen ovale and ductus arteriosis allows for exchange. Sometimes VSD present
Hypoplastic Left Ventricle
LV is underdeveloped. Mitral valve is not formed/very small. Ascending aorta is underdeveloped. Patent foramen ovale and ductus arteriosis allows for exchange. Heart works as a univentricular heart with RV doing all the work.
Extraembryonic Vasculogenesis and early hematopoiesis timeline
Day 17: Begins in yolk sac. Hemangioblasts differentiate and form hematopoietic progenitor and endothelial precursor cells.
Day 18: Intraembryonic vasculogenesis
Day 23: Early hematopoietic cells populate the developing liver
Day 27: Hematopoietic stem cells are programmed from hemogenic endothelial cells in the AGM region of the dorsal aorta.
Day 30: Programmed cells seed liver.
Day 40: Cells disappear from AGM region.
Angiomas
Abnormal blood vessel and lymphatic capillary growth via vasculogenesis.
Hemangioma
excessive formation of capillaries (capillary hemangioma) or venous sinuses (cavernous hemangioma). In infancy they are benign and usually resolve themselves naturally
Ventricular inversion
reverse cardiac looping. VSD usually present, right-sided L ventricle
Heterotaxia
Symmetry anomaly. Situs inversus (total reversal of organs) or situs ambiguous (some organ reversal)

Endocardial cushion tissue
Truncus Arteriosis
Divides the aorta and pulmonary artery. Derived cells include neural crest cells and endocardial cushion tissue
Atrial septal defects
2:1 prevalence in females to males. Most ASDs result in an initial L to R atrial shunting leading to pulmonary damage, increase in pulmonary resistance and R ventricle hypertrophy causing R to L shunting, cyanosis and congestive heart failure.
