Fetal circulation
|
Enters vena cava through Ductus Venosus->RA->through PFO>LA->LV->Aorta->head and extremeties->RA->Tricuspid->RV->Pulmonary artery->patent ductis arteriosis->descdending aorta->lower extremeties->umbilical vessels->placenta ->ductus venosus
|
|
Post-natal
|
PFO closes
Lungs expand ductus arteriosis closes after a couple of weeks |
|
Signs of heart issue
|
-respiratory infections
substernal and subcostal retractions grunting cyanosis of lips when feeding edema, exercise intolerance, palipitations |
|
Hemodynamics
|
blood flows from high pressure to low pressure
- R side < L side -Pulmonary artery < systemic |
|
Types of Congenital Heart Defects
|
Increased pulmonary blood flow
Decreased pulmonary blood flow Obstruction Mixed blood |
|
Increased Pulmonary Blood flow disorders
|
ASD
VSD AV Canal Patent Ductis arteriosis |
|
Obstructive defects
|
=Increase afterload
Coarctation of the Aorta aortic Stenosis Pulmonic Stenosis |
|
Decreased pulmonary blood flow defects
|
Tetraology of Flow
Tricuspid atresia |
|
Mixed Defect
|
Transposition of Great Vessel
Hypoplastic Left Heart Truncus Arteriosis |
|
ASD
|
<1% mortality, hole in atrial septum
-L to R shunting of blood -R atrial and ventricular enlargement |
|
ASD treatment
|
May be asymptomatic
wait until school age to see if naturally closes -clamshell occluder -patch, cadaver or synthetic |
|
VSD
|
Ventrical Septal Defect, membranous or muscular (higher mortality)
Most common Blood L->hypertorphic R->Lungs CHF, murmur |
|
Eisenemenger syndrome
|
associated with VSD
VSD-> pulmonary HTN-> damage to pulmonary arterioles with hypertrophy->increased pulmonary pressure resistance->increased R pressure |
|
VSD treatment
|
purse string, patch, or cardiac cath
|
|
AV Canal
|
common in down syndrome
incomplete endocardial cushing blood flow through all 4 chambers low ASD, high VSD Loud murmur, mild cyanosis w/ crying |
|
AV Canal treatment and complications
|
Patch and valve reconstruction
Complications heart block, CHF, MV regurgitation, arrythmia |
|
Patent Ductis Arteriosis (PDA)
|
should close naturally by first week
CHF, murmur |
|
PDA treatment
|
Meds
indomethacin-prostoglandin inhibitor Ibueprofen Surgery Ligation, coil |
|
Coarctation of Aorta
|
low mortality
narrowing of aorta Increased pressure in upper extremities lower pressure in lower-> collateral circulation CHF= infants Dizzy, headache, leg pain |
|
Treatment of COA
|
Stent
resection patch |
|
Aortic Stenosis
|
narrowing of aortic valve
decreased CO, LV hypertrophy, pulmonary vac congestion -faint pulse -HTN -chest pain |
|
Aortic stenosis treatment
|
Ross procedure
valve replacement w/ pulmonic valve (P valve replaced with animal valve) Balloon angioplasty |
|
Pulmonic stenosis
|
Narrowing of pulmonic artery, R Ventricular hypertrophy
CHF in severe cases PDA compensates PFO will open if pressure to high->mixing blood->systemic cyanosis |
|
Pulmonic stenosis Treatment
|
balloon angioplasty
|
|
Tetraology of Fallot
|
1 VSD
2 Pulmonic Stenosis subvalvular 3 Overriding aorta 4 R ventricular hypertrophy |
|
TOF symptoms
|
TET spells: hypercyanosis with crying
cyanosis |
|
TOF treatment
|
B-T shunt
complete repair- patch and VSD |
|
Tricuspid Atresia
|
High mortality
Blockage of R atria to R ventricle cyanosis, clubbing, tachycardia, dsypnea |
|
Treatment of Tricuspid Atresia
|
Prostoglandin E
Surgery 1B-T Shunt 2Bidirectional Glenn 3Modified Fontan Results in R side atrophy |
|
Transposition of the Great Vessels
|
Pulmonary artery leaves L ventricle, aorta leaves R ventricle
cyanosis cardiomegaly |
|
