beta Blockers
what classification of drugs inncrease contractility, improved L vent ejection, decreased vent volumes and improved Blood pressure
Ventricular septal defect
abnormal opening between the ventricles. is the most common cardiac anomolly.
puberty
when does the systolic blood pressure reach the adult level?
hypercyanotic episodes
S/S include test episodes. suden drop in systemic resistance andd pulmonary blood flow commbined with sudden increase in cardiac output adn venous return.
Transposition of the Great Arteries
Pulmonary artery is outflow for L vent and aorta is outflow for the R vent.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Failure of the Ductus Arteriosus to close after birth
4th and 7th week of gestation
when does the heart develop in utero
digoxin
what is the number on treatment choice in pediatrics for CHF?
Pulmonic stenosis
narrowing of valve or valve area obstructiing blood flow into pulmonary artery-increase preload adn R vent hypertropy
10 yrs since last episode or until greater than the age of 40 which ever is longer
those with cardiac annomalies with carditis and resdual heart disease will have to be on long term AB therapy for how long?
Pulmonary Atresia
is the absence of communication between R vent and Pulmonary artery. R vent Pushes blood back through the tricuspid valve and passes throught the foramen ovale.
10-21 days
how long does it take the ductus arteriosis to permanently close
Rheumatic Fevevr
connective tissue inflammatory process following infection. affects the heart, joints, brain and skin.
5 years or 21
how long are people on lg term AB prophlaxis if they do not havev carditis?
Ventricles
the 2 lower chambers of the heart are called the ____
Kawasaki Syndrome
acute febrile; systemic inflammatory illness; involves small and nidsize arteries; is the leading cause of aquired heart disease in the US.
infective endocarditis
inflammation of the valves; arterial vessles and endocardium lining of the chambers. can be bacterial, Viral, or Fungal.
Double Outlet Right Ventricle
Both the breat arteries leave the eR Ventricle causing increased pulmonary flow and decreased systemic flow.
10 years or well into adult hood
how long are people with any cardiac anomally on AB prophylaxis if they have carditis but no residual heart disease?
atrioventricular canal
is associated with Down Syndrome. It involves atrial and ventrical septums and tricuspid and mitral values
Truncus Arteriosus
a single large vessel empties both ventricles and provides circulation to pulmonary, systemic and coronary circulations.
atrium
the two upper chambers of the heart are called the ____
Ace inhibitors
what drug classification causes the heart to relax between contractions?
atrial septal defect
abnormal opening beteen the atria. there are 3 types
fist sized pear
describe the shape of the heart
tetralogy of Fallot
a displaced aorta that receives blood form both ventricles and enlarged the R ventricle. it is combination of 4 other disorders.
true
T or F: with TGA Cyanosis does not immprove with O2
Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous return
Pulmonary veins empty into R Atrium or veins leading to the R atrium rather than into the L atrium.
Coarctation of the aorta
narrowing of teh decreasing aorta near teh ductus arteriosus or L subclavian artery it obstructs systemic outflow. it is progressive
aortic stenosis
narrowed aortic valve abstructs blood flow to systemic circulation. Pressure gradient across valve increases as the child grows
