Congenital Heart Defects

2. Pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta.
5. episodes of severe right to left shunting, cyanosis, pulmonary hypertension, systemic hypotension, and acidosis.
7. A sign of chronic hypoxia common in children with Tetralogy of Fallot.
8. PDA has this murmur that can be heard systole and diastole.
12. Right to left shunt (unoxygenated to oxygenated blood flow)
13. A child with marked difference between upper and lower extremities suspect coarctation of the aorta.
14. Failure of a normal septation and division of the embryonic bulbar trunk into the pulmonary aorta.
16. 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.

1. An accurate history is an important first step in assessing an infant or child for possible heart defects.
3. Defects are those in which exiting the heart meets an area of narrowing (stenosis).
4. Left to right shunt (oxygenated to unoxygenated blood flow)
6. Hold this drug in infants if apical pulse is less than 90 bpm.
9. This defect is most common defect seen in children with Trisomy 21.
10. The most common defect.
11. 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.
15. A sign during feeding or activity which is common to most infants with congenital problems.
