3. inlet
4. muscular
Term
what is the most common site of VSD?
Definition
membraneous
Term
VSD can lead to dysrrhythmias due to:

interruption of the bundle of His
Term
describe an outlet defect of a VSD:
Definition
affects the blood flow out of the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery
Term
describe inlet defect of VSD:
Definition
occur at the atrioventricular canal, affects blood flow from right atrium into right venticle
Don't close spontaneously
commonly assoc w ASD
Term
where are muscular defects of VSDs located?
Definition
right ventricular free wall
Term
__% of small VSDs close spontaneously within the first 2yrs.
Definition
75%
Term
what size VSD causes Sx wn the first weeks of life?
Definition
Large
Term
if large VSD not repaired by _-_ months of age then it may lead to permanent :
Definition
if not repaired within 3-4months may lead to permanent pulmonary vascular damage & RVH
Term
Eisenmenger Syndrome:
Definition
right to left shunting of unoxygenated blood into the left ventricle caused by VSD
Term
TEST Q: what type of murmur is heard in a small to moderate VSD?
Definition
PANSYSTOLIC MURMUR
Term
5 clinical findings of large defects of VSD:
Definition
1. fatigue
2. frequent lung infections
3. failure to thrive
4. CHF in infancy

Term
when is the ductus ateriosis supposed to close?
Definition
infancy 3-5 days > birth
Term
what chemical factors keep the ductus arteriosis open?

Term
what is the first line therapy for patent ductus arteriosis?
Definition
Indomethacin (NSAID that reduces prostaglandin syn)
Term
what are the side effects of indomethacin and what is an alternative?
Definition
side effects: renal dysfxn, GI toxicity
Ibuprofen is the alternative
Term
what is the surgical Tx for patent ductus ateriosis?
Definition
percutaneous occlusion
