Question | Answer |
---|---|
Right to left cardiac shunts cause _______. | Cyanosis |
A shift from left-to-right shunt to a right-to-left shunt is a sign of increasing pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary hypertension, and is known as __________. | Eisenmenger's syndrome |
This condition, if left untreated, can cause polycythemia, strokes, brain abscess, endocarditis, and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy | Cyanosis |
The first sign of CHF in children is ________. | Hepatomegaly |
Left to right cardiac shunts cause _____, clinically manifested as failure to thrive, tachycardia, tachypnea, and hepatomegaly. | CHF |
_____________ is a connection between the descending aorta and the left pulmonary artery. | Ductus arteriosus |
________________ is a connection between the portal vein and IVC. | Ductus venosum |
Ductus venosum causes blood to be shunted away from the _____ | Liver |
Ductus arteriosus causes blood to be shunted away from the ________ in utero. | Lungs |
The most common congenital heart defect _______ | VSD |
VSDs usually close spontaneously by age ____________ | Six months |
Medical treatment for symptomatic VSD is ______ and _____. | Diuretics digoxin |
Indications for repair of VSD | CHF resulting in failure to thrive, PVR > 4-6 Woods units |
Contraindication to repair of VSD | PVR > 10-12 Woods units |
Most common congenital defect causing ASD _______ | Ostium secundum |
Eighty percent of osmium secundum is caused by ___________ | PFO |
Medical treatment for symptomatic ostium primum defects is ______ and _____. | Diuretics digoxin |
Anomalies that contribute to oxygenation with ASD | Anomalous pulmonary venous return to right atrium or IVC, or IVC connecting to left atrium |
This congenital cardiac anomaly is more inferior to the other, more common, cardiac defect causing ASD _______ | Ostium primum |
Ostium primum is caused by deficiency in left horn of the _______________ | Sinus venosus |
Ostium secundum becomes symptomatic when Qp / Qs is greater than ______________, resulting in CHF | Two |
Adults with unrepaired ostium primum defects can get ________ and __________ | paradoxical emboli, arrhythmias |
Ostium primum defects usually become symptomatic when Qp/Qs > 2, causing ________, ___________ and ____________ | fatigue, dyspnea, recurrent infections |
Tetralogy of Fallot includes which congenital defects? | Overriding aorta, VSD, pulmonary HTN, and RV hypertrophy |
Most common congenital defect resulting in cyanosis _________ | Tetralogy of Fallot |
Morphologic abnormality causing Tetralogy of Fallot | Anterior and superior displacement of infundibular septum |
Medical treatment for Tetralogy of Fallot is _____________ | Beta blockade |
This type of shunt can be used for palliation to dely repair of Tetralogy of Fallot | Blalock Taussig |
Tetralogy of Fallot should be repaired when this sign occurs ____ | Increased cyanosis |
Definitive repair of Tetralogy of Fallot includes these three steps | Division of RV outflow tract obstruction (pulmonic stenosis), patch enlargement of outflow tract, VSD repair |
The most common cyanotic disorder presenting during the first week of life is _________ | Transposition of the great vessels |
In Transposition of the great vessels, mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood most often occurs through ___________ | ASD |
Medical treatment of Transposition of the great vessels includes ____ | Atrial septostomy and PGE1 |
In patients with Transposition of the great vessels and large VSDs, significant CHF and pulmonary HTN may occur by this age ______ | three months |
Optimal timing of repair in transposition of the great vessels, and technique | Early (first 2-3 weeks of life), switch with posterior implantation of coronary arteries |
Patients with Transposition of the great vessels and _________ are NOT candidates for early switch | LVOT obstruction |
Patients with Transposition of the great vessels and LVOT obstruction should be treated with this intervention _________ | Blalock Taussig shunt |
Timing for repair of large symptomatic VSD | prior to school age |
Test to see if large VSD is reversible, and therefore amenable to repair | Trial of vasodilators |
Indications for repair of ASD include Qp / Qs > __________ | 1.5 |
What percentage of ostium primum defects require repair? | 100% |
What is the timing of ASD repair? | Before school age |
