4 heart defects associated with Tetralogy of Fallot
1. Pulmonary stenosis
2. Ventricular septal defect
3. Overriding aorta (aorta is right over VSD, cradling septum)
4 Right ventricular hypertrophy
List 3 normal pediatric EKG changes
What is:
Juvenile T waves (V1-V3), Increased HR in infants, RV dominance, R wave in V1 taller than R wave in V6 (resembles RVH and sometimes RBBB), Sinus arrhythmia
Most common Congenital Heart Disease for patients with Trisomy 21?
Atrioventricular septal defect
enlarged RA and small RV + ASD. Tricuspid flaps fused to inside RV
Common EKG changes in patients with previous congenital heart disease surgery
(Name 2)
RBBB, JET, CHB, ST segment changes (ischemia/inflammation post-operatively), T wave changes
Biggest concern for patients with Kawasaki Disease
Ischemia/Inflammation during coronary spasm (ST segment elevated, myocarditis
Pt needs IV immunoglobulin to reduce inflammation and prevent damage
What defect is an PDA essential for survival
(Bonus: what medication is given for it to remain open)
Hypoplastic left heart
Prostaglandins
Syndrome associated with a "cocktail party personality" and has this common cardiac dysrhythmia.
Holiday Heart and AF
EKG changes for Tetralogy of Fallot
RAD, RVH, Wide QRS, RBBB (post-surgery)
Common cardiac issues for patients with Marfans Syndrome
Aortic dilation, aortic dissection (tearing of the aortic wall) + arrhythmias (lots of surgery = more risk)
What are the Five Ts of Congenital Heart Disease
1. TOF
2. TGA (transposition of great vessels)
3. truncus arteriosus
4. tricuspid atresia
5. Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR)
EKG Changes in Noonan syndrome
PS, HCM, ASD, VSD, Coarctation of the aorta, Arrhythmias
Symptoms of prolonged QT syndrome and what phases does it affect?
Affects phases 2,3, and 4.
Symptoms - Syncope, seizures, cardiac arrest/ death (longer QT allows for more time for ventricular ectopy to induce an arrhythmia)
What defect arises from defects in all structures formed by endocardial cushions
(Bonus: what can increase in these infants)
Complete AVSD
Pulmonary blood flow (can have symptoms of CHF/FTT)
What causes deep T waves in V2 and V3?
Hint: high risk for AWMI
Wellens syndrome
This is not genetic, caused by LAD obstruction
What is turners syndrome chromosonal abnormality and with ECG changes do you see?
Missing X chromosome
RVH, accelerated arrhythmia, T wave abnorm.
