series

5
Q

complex CHD may be in

A

parallel or mixing

6
Q

ductus arteriosus dependent (requiring protaglandin) (3)

A
  1. pulmonary atresia
  2. transposition of the great arteries
  3. severe coarctation of the aorta
7

non- duct dependent (3)

A
  1. transposition of the great arteries with a large VSD
  2. double outlet right ventricle
  3. truncus arteriosus
8
Q

RVOT/obstruction

A

TOF

9
Q

parallel circulations

A

TGA

10
Q

common mixing

A

truncus arteriosus

11
Q

CHD with pulmonary HTN (Eisenmengers)

A

VSD, ASD and PDA

12
Q

cyanosis generally occurs when (2)

A
  1. there is too little pulmonary blood flow

2. venous blood mixes with arterial blood

13
Q

flow is largely influenced by

A

resistance and compliance

14
Q

shunts cause

A

downstream chamber dilation

15
Q

_______ equalize across a large defect/ shunt

A

pressures

16
Q

obstruction to flow produces

A

hypoplasia

17
Q

obstruction elevates

A

upstream proximal pressure

18
Q

the blood flow through an organ can be quantitated if an indicator is either added to or removed from the blood during its flow through the organ

A

Fick principle

19
Q

Qp/Qs

A

AO - SVC / AO- PA

20
Q

ASD:

  1. common in
  2. women or male
  3. types
  4. volume overload on the
  5. eisenmenger’s
    magnitude of shunt relative to
A
  1. common defect in children and 2nd most common in adult
  2. women 3:1
  3. secundum, venosus and primum
  4. right sided volume overload
  5. eisenmenger’s rare- 5%
  6. magnitude of shunt relative to diastolic distensibility and vascular resistance
21
Q

a shunt in the atrium will cause an

A

increase in pulmonary blood flow

22
Q

ASD Qp to Qs ratio

A

Qp > Qs

23
Q

a small VSD will _______ pulmonary blood flow and to a certain extent pressure

A

increase

24
Q

a large VSD will increase both

A

blood flow and pressure

25
Q

VSD Qp to Qs ratio

A

Qp>Qs

26
Q

ASD vs VSD

if the amount of pulm. blood flow in both pt. is the same, who will be sicker

A

ASD- volume overload

VSD- volume and pressure overload

27
Q

reversed shunt

A

eisenmenger’s syndrome

28
Q

Eisenmenger’s syndrome:

  1. what happens over time?
  2. as the pulmonary vascular resistance increases the Qp/Qs
  3. When ______ blood will shunt from the right heart to the left heart leading to the development of systemic cyanosis
  4. associated with
A
  1. increased blood flow/pressure damages the pulmonary arteriole muscular walls causing hypertrophy, leading to elevation of the PVR and a reduction in PBF
  2. decreases
  3. Qp
29
Q

overall effect in eisenmenger’s
