_..
ASD: RA and LA
VSD: RV and LV
PDA: PA and Ao
nl pressure always higher in left
result: if there's connection, usually left to right flow
_..
no cyanosis at birth
epo release
_..
tiny hole: restrict the flow, loud murmur, asymptomatic
large hole: not loud murmur but symptoms later in life
_..
major consequence: add volume to right side of heart
increased flow across PV/TV causes systolic ejection murmur
shun run: take samples of different chambers to see O2 sat
ASD: step up at RA O2 sat because of blood mixing
VSD: step at at RV
located in middle of wall: mid septum
left: septum primum fusion with EDC
right: non fusion, ASD
seen in endocardial cushion defects, collective defects in down syndrome
hole located lower
_..
constriction of smooth muscle closes
differential: cyanosis in lower extremities but not upper, if untreated for years
blood drops much more during diastole to create wider pulse pressure
tetralogy/pulmonary atresia: cyanotic baby because not enough blood to lungs
alprostadil used to drive blood from aorta to PA
_..
shunt: blood shunted from left to right
_..
_..
very small shunting: no HF/eisenmenger
echo: RA on left, LA on right
