31 Congenital Heart Disease
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/ofTQQCD.jpg)
- central cyanosis: seen in congenital heart disease in babies
- warm extremities: perfused with warm blood, just not enough O2

Tetralogy
Pathogenesis
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/A9n7lVz.jpg)
- pic: aorta shifted to right, override ventricular septum with VSD, thick RV walls, stenotic PV
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/ARXrjJo.jpg)
- all abnormalities caused by infundibulum/conus arteriosus "monology of fallot"
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/5CPlzzP.jpg)
- pic: white infundibulum moving towards RV, dragging aorta with it to cause aorta to override RV, also creating VSD
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/audJjG2.jpg)
- restricts flow of pulmonary artery
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/HrWZpnI.jpg)
- deoxygenated blood diverted away from lung to LV and systemic circulation
- pink tets: mild obstruction, less cyanosis

Symptoms

![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/algIHtp.jpg)
- boot shaped heart
- hypertrophic RV and apex misplaced
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/zqWDXmq.jpg)
- knit femoral arteries when squatting

Truncus Arteriosus
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/O4q1xP3.jpg)
- normally truncus divides into aorta or PA
- persists = common trunk
- mixing of blood = cyanosis

Transposition of great vessels

![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/leRQJNt.jpg)
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/D4GmfUr.jpg)
- D transposition
- VSD: allow RV/LV mix
- PDA: allow Ao PA mix
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/bobajJv.jpg)
- rare variant
- RV fail from not being able to take aorta pressure
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/xhguXwR.jpg)
- transposition most common
Tricuspid Atresia
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/YPxNVpV.jpg)
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/qpPFY2Y.jpg)
- only case to be compatible with life
- 2 shunts to allow blood flow
TAPVR
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/Dzte6UJ.jpg)
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/PIwt2Cs.jpg)
- mixed blood with low O2, cyanosis
Ebstein's
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/CIFtEgG.jpg)
- cyanosis and HF from tricuspid regurge

![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/Vk2kTvI.jpg)
Pulmonary Atresia
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/MlEADRI.jpg)
- in utero not a problem
- VSD: allows blood to exit ventricle

![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/y4KgBOx.jpg)
Conotruncal Heart Defect
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/HDrhI12.jpg)
- arteriosus: form outflow of LV and RV
- classic: DiGeorge, develop any conotruncal problems
Coarctation
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/XuBj4wJ.jpg)
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/bhORpqT.jpg)
- preductal: before ductus arteriosus insertion
Preductal
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/oHE5Th6.jpg)
- DA supplying lower body = no need for collateral vessel development in womb
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/GpO5VPj.jpg)
- cyanosis: blood bypass lung via DA and to lower extremities
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/YNxOMrC.jpg)
- all blood has to go through narrowing
- baby into heart failure/shock in day 2 of life
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/ocIkYry.jpg)
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/Lb2UVXB.jpg)
- narrowing of aorta usually in thoracic region
Postductal
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/mW3ieYh.jpg)
- good: no HF in babies
- bad: asymptomatic until adult
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/ogQXZ2T.jpg)
- delay between when feel brachial vs femoral pulse
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/ukHpMWb.jpg)
- young person with htn
- rarely, poor blood flow to lower body: pain/ischemia with walking
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/KvTko41.jpg)
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/hxKSerF.jpg)
- xray: aortic knob and below
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/dtVgJSC.jpg)
- not flushed in upper extremities or cyanotic in lower extremities because of autoregulation
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/v96MDI7.jpg)
- endovascular infection: infection inside vascular tree
- endocarditis: heart valves
- endarteritis: artery
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/2rZHnMP.jpg)
![](https://photos.thisispiggy.com/file/wikiFiles/jnSFqth.jpg)
- coarctation part of a bigger problem of vasculature
