Tetralogy of Fallot - correct answer✔️✔️Pulmonary stenosis,Right ventricular
hypertrophy, Ventricular septal defect,Overriding aorta
Tetralogy of Fallot - correct answer✔️✔️Blood Flow:
Pulmonary stenosis impedes blood flow to the lungs, causing increased pressure
in the RV, forcing deoxygenated blood through the septal defect to the LV,
increased workload on RV causes hypertrophy, and the overriding aorta receives
blood from both right and left ventricles
Tetralogy of Fallot - correct answer✔️✔️Heart/Lung: Harsh murmur
Tetralogy of Fallot - correct answer✔️✔️S/S: Cyanosis with feeding/crying,
hypercyanotic spells, dyspnea, agitation
Tricuspid Atresia - correct answer✔️✔️Valve between RA and RV fails to develop,
resulting in no opening for blood flow, forcing it through the pulmonary artery
and into lungs
Tricuspid Atresia - correct answer✔️✔️Blood Flow: Systemic blood flow cannot
enter RV due to agenesis of tricuspid valve, deoxygenated blood passes through
an opening in the atrial septum into LA and never enters pulmonary circulation,
deoxygenated blood mixes with oxygenated blood in LA, and goes to lungs thru a
PDA

Tricuspid Atresia - correct answer✔️✔️S/S: Rapid Rs, difficulty feeding,
cyanosis/grey
Tricuspid Atresia - correct answer✔️✔️Heart/Lung: Crackles, wheezes, murmur
Cardiac Disorders With Decreased Pulmonary Blood Flow - correct
answer✔️✔️Tetralogy of Fallot, Tricuspid Atresia
Cardiac Disorders With Increased Blood Flow - correct answer✔️✔️Atrial Septal
Defect (ASD), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), Atrioventricular Canal Defect,
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
Cardiac Disorders With Increased Blood Flow - correct answer✔️✔️Blood is
shunted from higher pressure left side to lower pressure right side, causing a
great amount of blood to move through the heart
Cardiac Disorders With Decreased Pulmonary Blood Flow - correct
answer✔️✔️Blood shunts from higher pressure right side of heart to lower
pressure left side through a structural defect, causing deoxygenated blood to mix
with oxygenated blood, causing deoxygenated blood to enter systemic circulation.
This leads to mild to severe oxygen desaturation
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) - correct answer✔️✔️Hole in the wall that divides the
RA from the LA, may spontaneously close
