1. Congenital heart disorders Heart anomalies that develop in UTERO and manifest at birth or shortly Thereafter -they may be categorized as: Answer: ACYANOTIC: ventricular septal defect (VSD), atr... ial septal defect (ASD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), coarctation of aorta, aortic stenosis (AS) or CYANOTIC: tetrology of fallot, truncus arteriosus, tranposition of great vessels: Acyantotic include: L to R shunts or INCREASED PULMONARY blood flow Obstructive defects Cyanotic include: R to L shunts or DECREASED pulmonary blood flow Mixed blood flow 2. ACYANOTIC HEART DEFECTS **Ventricular septal defect (VSD; increased pulmonary blood flow)** a. there is a HOLE between the ventricles b. oxygenated blood from LEFT ventricle is shunted to RIGHT ventricle and RECIRCULATED to the lungs c. small defects may close spontaneously d. large defects cause Eisenmenger syndrome or congestive heart failure and require surgical closures: Answer: **Atrial septal defect** (ASD; Increased pulmonary blood flow) a. there is a hole between the atria b. oxygenated blood from L atrium shunted to R atrium and lungs C. most defects do not compromise children seriously d. surgical closure is recommended BEFORE SCHOOL age. it can lead to significant problems, such as congestive HF or atrial dysrhythmias later in life if not corrected 3. ACYANOTIC HEART DEFECTS **Patent ductus arteriosus** (PDA: increased pulmonary blood flow) a. there is an abnormal opening between the aorta and the pulmonary artery b. it usually closes with 72 hrs after birth** c. if it remains patent, oxygenated blood from AORTA returns to the PULMONARYARTERY d.
