| What is Patent ductus arteriosus? | Failure of the ductus arteriosus to close within the first weeks of life allows oxygenated blood to shunt from the high-pressure aorta to the low-pressure pulmonary artery, which causes the blood to become deoxygenated |
| What is Atrial septal defect? | Abnormal opening in the atrial septum that enables oxygenated blood to flow from the higher pressure left atrium to the lower pressure right atrium, which causes the blood to become deoxygenated |
| What are the S/S to Atrial Septal Defect? | Respiratory infections and difficulty breathing. A characteristic harsh systolic murmur may be heard during auscultation over the third intercostal space. |
| What is VSD? | A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is an abnormal opening in the interventricular septum, resulting in the flow of oxygenated blood from the higher pressure left ventricle to the lower pressure right ventricle, which causes the blood to become deoxygenated. |
| S/S of VSD | Such defects may be asymptomatic, but signs of heart failure eventually manifest. Other clinical manifestations include a loud, harsh systolic murmur and a palpable thrill. |
| The most common CHD resulting in decreased pulmonary blood flow is what? | Tetralogy of Fallot. |
| What happens in transposition of the great vessels? | The pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle and the aorta arises from the right ventricle, Some affected infants are born with associated defects that allow for communication between the two circulations |
| (A) what are the S/S of Transposition of the great vessels? | Two circulations have profound cyanosis |
| (A) those who born with associated defect such as patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defect, or VSD are sometimes what? | Have less cyanosis and experience manifestations of heart failure. Cardiomegaly is usually apparent on x-ray study. |
| (A) what happens in Coarctation of the Aorta? | Narrowing of the lumen of the aorta (usually at the site of the ductus arteriosus), resulting in increased pressure proximal to the defect (head and upper extremities) and decreased pressure distal to the defect (body and lower extremities. |
| (A) Clinical Manifestation of Coarctation of the Aorta? | Blood pressure in the arms is 20 mm Hg higher than that in the legs (reversal of normal pattern). bounding pulses in the lower extremities, heart failure, leg cramping on exertion in older affected children, and epistaxis. |
