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