CSX
Term
What gene is associated with atrial septal defects?
Definition
TBX-5
Term
What is Eisenmenger's syndrome?
Definition
when a L to R heart condition causes overload in the pulmonary system causing an increase in pressure on the right side; thus reversing the shunt from R to L
Term
What is Eisenmenger's complex?

Rubella
Term

When would an atrial septal defect go R to L opposed to its normal L to R?

 

Why?

 

What is the danager of it?

Definition

coughing or valsalva movement

 

 

due to decreased interthoracic volume and increased pulmonary pressure causing a temporary rise in pressure above the Left heart

 

embolis

Term
What are the two subtypes of atrial septal defects and which is more common?

Definition

primary- unknown etiology

secondary- arterial, venous, increased pulmonary flow

Term
In secondary pulmonary hypertension, what are the different types of arterial and venous causes?
Definition

arterial: emboli,vasoconstriction

venous: pulmonary stenosis

Term
What congenital heart disease would cause pulmonary hypertension due to increased blood flow to the lungs?
Definition

Definition
"tet spells" restlessness, crying, increased depth of breathing (hyperpnea)
Term
What is the main reason for truncus arteriosus?
Definition
septum fails to form
