| ASD (Atrial septal defect) | An abnormal opening between the Atria that causes increased flow of oxygenated blood into the right side of the heart. |
| ASD treatment | Nonsurgical treatment: may be closed with the use of devices during a caridac clatheterization. Surgical treatment: open repair with cardiopulmonary bypass is usually performad before the child reaches school age. |
| VSD (Ventricular septal defect) | An abnormal opening between the right and left ventricles (frequently associated with other congenetal defects) |
| VSD treatment | Many VSD's close spontaneously during the first year of life in children who have small or moderate defects. |
| Two characteristics of VSD are? | Murmur and CHF |
| VSD treatment | Nonsurgical treatment: may be closed with the use of devices during a caridac clatheterization. Surgical treatment: open repair with cardiopulmonary bypass is usually performad before the child reaches school age. |
| Atrioventricular canal defect | Incomplete fusion of the endocardial cushions |
| What is the most common cardiac defect in children with down syndrome? | Atrioventricular canal defect |
| PDA (Public display of affection or Patent ductus ateriosus | Failure of the fetal ductus arteriosus (te artery that connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery) to close within the first weeks of life. |
| PDA medication | Indomethacin (prostaglandin inhibitor) |
| Kawasaki disease | Also called mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome; it is an acute systemic inflammatory illness. |
| Kawasaki's 1st stage | Acute stage (weeks 1-2), fever, conjunctival hyperemia, red throat, swollen hands, rash. |
