Embryology/Teratogenesis Congenital Heart Disease Heart Sounds Circulation Cyanosis
100
Mesoderm
The cardiovascular system - heart, blood vessels, and blood cells - originates from this germ layer.
100
Ventricular Septal Defect
This is the most common Congenital Heart Disease.
100
S2
This heart sound is caused by blood hitting the closed semilunar valves of the great arteries, the aorta and the pulmonary artery.
100
Gamma
Normal fetal hemaglobin consists of two alpha chains and two _____ chains.
100
Peripheral cyanosis
Sepsis is a cause of this type of cyanosis in adults.
200
Congenital Rubella Syndrome
This syndrome can occur in a developing fetus in which the mother has contracted rubella during her first trimester.
200
Membranous Layer
The majority of ventricular septal defects (VSD) are seen in this layer of the interventricular septum.
200
Stenotic murmers
These type of murmurs are sometimes called crescendo murmurs due to their increase in intensity as systole/diastole progresses.
200
First breath
Pulmonary alveoli open up during this event.
200
Polycythemia
Individuals with ______ (an abnormal increase in RBC as a proportion of blood volume), may present with cyanosis without hypoxia.
300
Left horn of sinus venosus
This embryonic structure gives rise to the coronary sinus.
300
Boot shaped
A heart with this shape can be seen in a chest x-ray of patients with Tetralogy of Fallot.
300
S3
This heart sound is due to blood falling passively from the atria into the ventricles, creating turbulence as it hits the ventricular walls.
300
Intrapulmonary Shunting
This type of shunting occurs when blood that passes through the pulmonary capillaries is not oxygenated.
300
Left heart
Normal neonatal ECG has right axis deviation (QRS axis +90 to +180) due to limited pulmonary flow and reduced blood volume in this side of the heart.
400
Tetracyclines
These antibiotics cross the placental membrane and are deposited in the embryo's bones and teeth at sites of active calcification.
400
Coarctation of the aorta
This congenital heart defect is most often seen at the point where the ductus arteriosus closes.
400
Mitral murmurs
With the exception of this type of murmurs, murmurs are best heard in their respective auscultation areas.
400
Ligamentum venosum
After a baby is born, the ductus venosus constricts to form this structure.
400
Right to Left
Conditions in neonates with this type of shunt result in central cyanosis.
