Cyanosis: is it a cardiac cause or
lung cause

Hyperoxia test

Neonates with cyanotic congenital heart
disease usually do not have significantly
raised arterial Pao2 during administration
of 100% oxygen.
Ventricular Defect

Small VSD



Asymptomatic
A loud, harsh, or
blowing holosystolic
murmur.
Large VSD
dyspnea, feeding
difficulties, poor
growth, profuse
perspiration, recurrent
pulmonary infections,
and cardiac failure in
early infancy.
Syndromes associated with this condition

80%
VSD: ECG is normal but may show right ventricular
hypertrophy, if present indicates defect is large and presence
of pulmonary hypertension or pulmonry stenosis
Ventricular Septal Defect
(VSD)
Small VSDs, the chest radiograph is usually normal
Large VSD: The presence of right ventricular hypertrophy, olegeimic lung fields
(pulmonary hypertension or an associated pulmonic stenosis), gross
cardiomegaly with prominence of both ventricles, the left atrium.
Ventricular Septal defects




30–50% of small defects close spontaneously,
most frequently during the 1st 2 yr of life.
Small muscular VSDs are more likely to close (up
to 80%) than membranous VSDs are (up to
35%).
infants with large defects have repeated
episodes of respiratory infection and heart
failure despite optimal medical management.
Surgical repair prior to development of an
irreversible increase in pulmonary vasculalr
resistance (usually prior to the patient's second
birthday).
Atrial Septal Defects:
secundum




Most common form of
ASD (fossa ovalis)
In large defects, a
considerable shunt of
oxygenated blood flows
from the left to the right
atrium.
Mostly asymptomatic
The 2nd heart sound is
characteristically widely
split and fixed.
Secundum
Atrial Septal Defects:primum



Situated in the lower
portion of the atrial septum
and overlies the mitral and
tricuspid valves. In most
instances, a cleft in the
anterior leaflet of the mitral
valve is also noted.
Combination of a left-toright shunt across the atrial
defect and mitral
insufficiency
C/F similar to that of an
ostium secundum ASD
Atrial Septal Defect




Enlargement of the
right ventricle
Enlargement of
atrium
Large pulmonary
artery
increased pulmonary
vascularity is.
The electrocardiogram in patients with a complete AV septal defect is distinctive. The
principal abnormalities are (1) superior orientation of the mean frontal QRS axis with left
axis deviation to the left upper or right upper quadrant, (2) counterclockwise inscription
of the superiorly oriented QRS vector loop, (3) signs of biventricular hypertrophy or
isolated right ventricular hypertrophy, (4) right ventricular conduction delay (RSR′ pattern
in leads V3 R and V1 ), (5) normal or tall P waves, and (6) occasional prolongation of the
P-R interval
Atrial Septal Defects




Secundum ASDs are well tolerated during
childhood.
Antibiotic prophylaxis for isolated
secundum ASDs is not recommended.
Surgery or transcatheter device closure is
advised for all symptomatic patients and
also for asymptomatic patients with a
Qp:Qs ratio of at least 2:1.
Ostium primum defects are approached
surgically
Patent Ductus Arteriosus



symptoms.
Large defect:
