CHAPTER 22 FETAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
questions and answers with solutions
Akinetic

Without motion

Arrhythmia

Abnormal heart rate

Atrial septal defect (ASD)

Abnormal opening between the right and left atrium




Atrioventricular septal defects-(AVSD, aka endocardial cushion defect)

Partial: ASD in the lower portion of
the atrial septal defect without a ventricular defect;

Complete: a heart with both an ASD and VSD and a common valve

Atrioventricular valves (AV

Valves located between the atrium and ventricles




Bradyarrhythmia

Slow heart rate

Coarctation of the aorta

Narrowing of the aortic valve

, Dextrocardia

Apex of the heart points to the right




Double-outlet right ventricle (DORV)

Both great arteries arise from the right ventricle with a VSD and pulmonary stenosis; the same
process can occur with the left ventricle
with associated AV and semilunar valve
stenosis

Ductus venosus

Connection between the umbilical vein and the inferior vena cava




Dyskinetic

Impaired movement

Ebstein's anomaly

Displacement of the tricuspid valve toward the apex of the heart resultingin tricuspid
stenosis and/or regurgitation, atrialization of the right ventricle
