Congenital Heart Defects

2. In the normal transition from fetal to pulmonary circulation this closes as the pressure in the left atrium exceeds the pressure in the right atrium.
4. The most common defect.
5. Left to right shunt (oxygenated to unoxygenated blood flow)
6. An accurate history is an important first step in assessing an infant or child for possible heart defects.
11. Pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta.
13. A child with marked difference between upper and lower extremities suspect coarctation of the aorta.
14. Right to left shunt (unoxygenated to oxygenated blood flow)
15. Hold this drug in infants if apical pulse is less than 90 bpm.
16. A sign of chronic hypoxia common in children with Tetralogy of Fallot.

1. This defect is most common defect seen in children with Trisomy 21.
3. arteriosus Failure of a normal septation and division of the embryonic bulbar trunk into the pulmonary aorta.
7. A sign during feeding or activity which is common to most infants with congenital problems.
8. This defect has an abnormal opening allowing blood from the higher pressure left atrium to flow into the lower pressure right atrium causing left to right shunting.
9. PDA has this murmur that can be heard systole and diastole.
10. episodes of severe right to left shunting, cyanosis, pulmonary hypertension, systemic hypotension, and acidosis.
12. Defects are those in which exiting the heart meets an area of narrowing (stenosis).
