Tetralogy of FALLOT + defects that
decrease pulmonary flow-(HCAL 2-EXAM
1)
Congenital heart disease (CHD - Answer-primarily anatomic abnormalities present at birth that result in
abnormal cardiac function
What defects decrease pulmonary blood flow? - Answer--Tetralogy of Fallot
-Tricuspid Atresia
True or false. Tetralogy of Fallot is a defect with increased pulmonary blood flow - Answer-False.
Tetralogy of Fallot is a defect w/ decreased pulmonary blood flow
What do defects that decrease pulmonary blood have? - Answer-obstruction of pulmonary blood flow &
an anatomic defect between the right & left sides of the heart
What shift is there in this defect? - Answer-a right to left shift
How does right to left shift occur? - Answer-since blood has trouble exiting the right side of the heart
through the pulmonary artery, pressure on the right becomes higher than the left (more resistance in
pulmonary artery)
, What does right to left shunting allow? - Answer-It allows desaturated blood to enter the systemic
circulation
Tetralogy of Fallot - Answer-four defects that result in mixed blood flow
What are the 4 defects in Tetralogy of Fallot - Answer-(PORV)
-Pulmonary stenosis
-Overriding aorta
-Right ventricular hypertrophy
-Ventricular septal defect
Manifestations of Tetralogy of Fallot - Answer--Systolic murmur
-Acute cyanosis/hypoxia (TET spells)
-Progressive cyanosis over the 1st year of life
All symptoms from defects of Tetralogy Fallot - Answer--Tetralogy Fallot
*Systolic murmur
*Cyanosis
-(VSD)
*Loud, harsh murmur at left sternal border
*Heart failure (fluid volume overload, increased BP/R/P, edema, weight gain, decreased urine output,
weak pulses, anorexia, sweating, pale/cool limbs)
-(PS)
*Same HF symptoms as VSD
*Systolic ejection murmur
