Coarctation of the aorta -
1 2 Fetal Circulation Structures:
pathophysiology:
3 Congenital heart defect (CHD) is 4 Goals of therapy for heart disease
Don't know?
Terms in this set (136)
Fetal Circulation Structures: — umbilical vein (1)/umbilical arteries (2)
— foramen ovale
— ductus arteriosus
— ductus venosus
,Pediatric Cardiac Disease Prevention: — no smoking
— no alcohol consumption
— good prenatal care
— folic acid
— identify risk factors
— familial history of cardiac defects
Pediatric Indicators of cardiac — Poor feeding
dysfunction — Tachypnea/tachycardia
— Failure to thrive/poor weight gain
— Activity intolerance
— Developmental delays
— +Prenatal history
— +Family history of cardiac disease
Cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume
Goals of therapy for heart disease Decrease preload & afterload
Increase contractility
A shunt is: Blood flowing through an opening between two
structures or vessels of the heart
A murmur is: A sound heard when listening to the heart; it reflects
flow of blood within the heart
An "innocent murmur" is Normal cardiac anatomy and function
A "thrill" is A soft vibration over the heart that reflects the
transmitted sound of a heart murmur
Children have a ___________ ability to Limited/decreased
increase stroke volume in response to
______________ cardiac output
, Blood flow through the heart 1-Superior & Inferior Vena Cava
2-Rt Atrium
3-Tricuspid Valve (atrioventricular-AV valve)
4- Rt Ventricle
5-Pulmonary Valve (tricuspid/semilunar)
6-Pulmonary Artery
7- Lungs-pick up oxygen
8-Pulmonary Veins
9- Lt Atrium
10- Mitral Valve (Bicuspid) (atrioventricular AV valve)
11-Lt Ventricle
12- Aortic Valve (tricuspid/semilunar)
13-Aorta
14- Body
Types of cardiac defects congenital and acquired
Congenital heart defect (CHD) is Anatomic abnormalities in the heart
Present at birth (may not be diagnosed immediately)
Acquired cardiac defect Infection, autoimmune response, environmental
factors and familiar tendencies
Congestive heart failure (CHF): Inability of the heart to perform its function of
pumping blood forward
Causes of CHF: CHD, dysrhythmias, cardiomyopathy and Kawasaki's
CHF clinical manifestations: Impaired myocardial function
Pulmonary congestion
Systemic venous congestion
Impaired myocardial function presents Tachycardia, fatigue, weakness, restless, pale, cool
as extremities, decreased BP, decreased urine output
Pulmonary congestion presents as: Tachypnea, dyspnea, respiratory distress, exercise
intolerance, cyanosis
