  1. Cardiac Elisa A. Mancuso RNC, MS, FNS Professor of Nursing

  2. Hemodynamics Preload- • Venous return during diastole. • Volume of blood = Hydration status Afterload- • Arterial flow during systole. • L Ventricular pressure to open Aortic valve. Cardiac Output = HR x SV • Heart Rate X Stroke Volume

  3. Murmurs Abnormal heart sounds • Improper closing or opening of valves • 80% of murmurs in kids are innocent • Close proximity of heart to chest wall • Stills Murmur– • Blood rushing out of aorta • Anemia • Fever

  4. Fetal Circulation Oxygenated blood → Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) IVC → RA → FO → LA → LV → Aorta → Head & Arms • ↑↑ pressure inRA→Foramen Ovale (FO) • Bypasses the lungs and blood shunted to LA ↓ Blood returned → Superior Vena Cava (SVC) SVC → RA → RV → PA→DA →Aorta → Lower Body & Legs Ductus Arteriosus (DA) • Bypasses the lungs (↑↑ Pressure) • Only small portion of blood goes to pulmonary system • Blood gets re-oxygenated via placenta Ductus Venosis • Bypasses the liver and shunts blood to IVC

  5. Fetal to Neonatal Circulation At birth lungs expand: • ↑O2 causes pulmonary vasodilation • ↓ Pulmonary pressure(resistance) • ↑Systemic pressure (resistance) • LA pressure > RA pressure • Foramen Ovalecloses within 1st hour of life • ↑O2 ↓Prostaglandins (from Placenta) • Ductus Arteriosuscloses within 10-24hours. • Permanent closure by 3-4 weeks. • PDA = Patent Ductus Arteriosus • In some cases can stay open for 3 months

  6. Neonatal Circulation • Blood flows from higher to lower pressure • Systemic Pressure > Pulmonary Pressure L side > R side Blood flows from L → R side

  7. Acyanotic Defects • L →R side shunt of oxygenated blood • ↑ Pulmonary blood flow • Pulmonary congestion • Heart is ineffective pump • Children prone to CHF • Prophylactic administration of antibiotics needed

  8. Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Opening between the pulmonary artery (PA) and Aorta Oxygenated blood shunted from Aorta →→PA • ↑↑ Systemic resistance • Blood shunted to LA → LV → PA • ↑↑ Pulmonary Congestion • ↑↑ Back up to LA & LV • LV Hypertrophy

  9. PDA Clinical signs • Soft - harsh systolic newborn murmur • Machinery type systolic and diastolic murmur in older children • ↑ RR & moist Breath sounds • Bounding pulses • ↑ HR • Widened pulse pressure • Large difference between the systolic • and diastolic pressure

  10. Therapy • Indomethacin (indocin) • Prostaglandin inhibitor promotes vasoconstriction and closure of PDA • 3 Dose maximum q 12 hours • Ligation of Ductus Arteriosus • Close connection to prevent return of oxygenated blood to lungs • No open heart surgery

  11. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Abnormal opening between the RA & LA • Blood flows from ↑↑press LA to ↓↓press RA • ↑↑ blood volume to right side of heart • Leads to RA and RV hypertrophy • ↑↑ blood volume to lungs • Pulmonary Congestion • DOE/ CHF symptoms • Crescendo/decrescendo systolic • ejection murmur

  12. ASD Therapy • ASO (Amplatzer Septal Occluder) • via cardiac cath • Medications for CHF • Open heart surgery and bypass, performed before school age • Dacron patch • Low mortality rate

  13. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Abnormal opening between RV and LV • ↑↑O2 blood from LV to RV • ↑↑ blood to RV = RV hypertrophy • ↑↑ pulmonary flow • ↓↓ systemic flow • Spontaneous closure in 20%-60% within first year of life.

  14. VSD Clinical signs • CHF = ↓↓CO, ↑HR, ↑RR, scalp sweating, • ↑ weight gain, irritability • Pulmonary edema • DOE, fatigue, ↓↓ PO intake • ↓↓Aorta Blood Flow • ↓↓ femoral and brachial pulses • ↓↓ BP x 4 • Harsh holosystolic murmur with thrill Therapy same as ASD

  15. Pulmonic Stenosis (PS) Narrowing of the pulmonary valve • ↑↑ PA pressure/resistance • ↓↓ Pulmonary Blood Flow • Blood backs up into RV RV Hypertrophy

  16. Clinical Signs & Therapy • Depends on size of stenosis • Pale, lethargic, slow feeder • Systolic ejection murmur • EKG and CXR show RV Hypertrophy Therapy • Pulmonary Valvotomy • Angioplasty • Enlarges ↑ pulmonic valve opening

  17. Aortic Valvular Stenosis Narrowing of aortic valve • ↑↑ Resistance to blood flow from LV • causing LV Hypertrophy • ↑↑ back-up of blood in pulmonary system • ↑↑ Pulmonary congestion • ↓↓ blood via aorta ↓↓Systemic perfusion = ↓↓ CO

  18. Clinical • Faint peripheral pulses RT ↓↓ CO • ↓↓ pulse pressure • Chest pain RT myocardial ischemia • Systolic ejection murmur Therapy • Commissurotomy • Enlarge aortic valve opening via angioplasty. • Additional surgery may be needed • later.

  19. Coarctation of the Aorta • Narrowing of the aorta right after arch • ↑↑Pressure proximal to narrowing • ↑↑ BP upper body, arms & head • Bounding pulses & warm, ruddy skin • JVD • ↓↓Pressure distal to narrowing • ↓↓ BP lower body & legs • Weak pulses & cool, pale skin • Difference of 20mm for systolic BP

  20. Clinical signs • ↑↑ BP in arms ↓↓ BP legs • Weak or Absent femoral pulses • Headache, blurred vision and nose bleeds • ↑↑risk for stroke • Older kids leg pain on exertion RT ↓ blood Therapy • Prostaglandin E – keep PDA open • Surgery • Resect coarcted portion and reanastomosis

  21. Cyanotic defects • Unoxygenated blood enters systemic system • “Right to Left shunt” (R→ L) • Blood is shunted from venous to arterial • ↑↑ CHF and hypoxic episodes Now classified as: ↓↓ Pulmonary blood flow or Mixed blood flow defects

  22. Transposition of Great Vessels (TGA) • Two separate circulations! • Aorta arises from RV • Unoxygenated blood enters aorta →Systemic • Pulmonary artery (PA) arises from LV • Oxygenated blood enters PA → recycled lungs → Pulmonary veins → LA No Oxygenated blood in systemic circulation!

  23. TGA CLINICAL SIGNS Depends on type and size of associated defects • Severely cyanotic at birth • minimal communication between 2 systems • Large septal defects or PDA • Less cyanotic but may have CHF symptoms • ↑↑ HR, ↑↑ RR and cardiomegaly • Fatigue when feeding • ↓↓ Intake • ↓↓Output = Edema

  24. THERAPY Prostaglandin E1 (Prostin VR or Alprostadil) • Vasodilator • Relaxes smooth muscle of ductus arteriosus • Keeps PDA open • Provides mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to systemic circulation. “Rashkind procedure” • Cardiac cath to create ASD • Maintains mixing of blood • Arterial switch procedure usually performed • in first few weeks of life
