  1. Dextrocardia is a condition where the heart lies on the right side of the thorax instead of the left.
  2. It occurs when the heart loops to the left instead of the right.
  3. The defect is induced during gastrulation, when laterality is established.
    4. ◈ Associated with:
    ■ Situs inversus: Complete reversal of asymmetry in all organs.
    ■ Laterality sequences: Only some organ positions are reversed.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SINUS VENOSUS
  1. Left to Right shunting of blood
    1. Development of azygous system
    2. Obliteration of left cardinal veins and becoming the tributaries of right cardinal veins
  2. Shifting of sino-atrial orifice to the right
    1. Rapid development of right sided septum of sinuatrial orifice
  3. Vertical placement of sino-atrial orifice
  4. Development of valvular folds, the right and left venous valves

    2. Common truncus arteriosus
    3. Tetralogy of Fallot
ATRIAL CHAMBER
Inter-atrial septum development
Septum primum
  1. The first portion of the septum primum is a sickle-shaped crest growing from the roof of the common atrium into the lumen.
  2. The two limbs of this septum extend forward the endocardial cushions in the atrioventricular canal.
    3. ■ Ostium primum:
    1. The opening between the lower rim of the septum primum and the endocardial cushions is the ostium primum.
    2. With further development, extensions of the superior and inferior endocardial cushions grow along the edge of the septum primum, closing the ostium primum.
    ■ Ostium secundum:
    1. Before closure of ostium primum, however, cell death produces perforations in the upper portion of the septum primum.
    2. Coalescence of these perforations forms the ostium secundum, ensurign free blood flow from the right to the left primitive atrium.
Septum secundum
  1. Later, a new crescent-shaped fold appears from the roof known as Septum secundum.
  2. Its anterior limb extends downward to the septum in the atrioventricular canal.
  3. The free concave edge of the septum secundum begins to overlap the ostium secundum.
    4. ■ Foramen ovale:
    1. The opening left by the septum secundum is called the Foramen ovale.
    2. When the upper part of the septum primum gradually disappears, the remaining part becomes the valve of the foramen ovale.
Changes after birth
    ■ Closing of the foramen ovale: After birth, when lung circulation begins and pressure in the left atrium increases, the valve of the foramen ovale is pressed against the septum secundum, obliterating the foramen ovale and separating the right and left atria.
    ■ Probe patency: In about 20% of cases, fusion of the septum primum and septum secundum is incomplete, and a narrow oblique cleft remains between the two atria known as Probe patency.
Right atrium development
Smooth part
Develops from sinus venosus
Rough part
Develops from primitive atrium
Left atirum development
Smooth part
Develops from sinus venosus
Rough part
Develops from primitive atrium
VENTRICULAR CHAMBER
Inter-ventricular septum development
Muscular part
  1. First there is a formation of bulbo-ventricular cavity by fusion of conus and primitive ventricle, so the bulboventricular sulcus disappears.
  2. This cavity contains lower dilated part and upper conical part.
  3. A muscular interventricular septum grows from the floor of bulboventricular cavity and divides ventricles into two halves.
  4. It grows towards septum intermedium (AV cushion).
  5. When the muscular ventricular septum ceases to grow, a incomplete muscular septum is formed.
  6. The two ventricles still communicate with each other through the interventricular foramen that lies cranial to the muscular interventricular foramen.
Bulbar part
  1. The formation of bulbar part of IV septum is associated with the septation of outflow tract of heart tube.
  2. There are formation of the subendocardial tissue in the conus part of bulbus cordis called the right and left trunco-conal or Bulbar ridges.
  3. But these ridges are also invaded by neural crest cells. Thus the cushion tissue of the outflow tract consists of both endocardium-derived cushion tissue and neural-crest cell derived cushion tissue.
Membranous part
Fills the gap of interventricular foramen
Derived from
AV cardiac cushion
Anterior portion
Separates right and left ventricles
Posterior portion
Separates right atrium and left ventricles
Right and left bulbar ridge
Note
Inter-atrial and inter-ventricular septum doesn't lie in same plane.
Clinical Correlates
Ventricular Septal Defects
Muscular VSDs
  1. Less serious form.
  2. Resolves as the child grows.
Membranous VSDs
  1. More serious form.
  2. Often associated with abnormalities in partitioning of the conotruncal region.
  3. Depending on the size of the opening, blood carried by the pulmonary artery may be 1.2 to 1.7 times as abundant as that carried by the aorta.
Tetralogy of Fallot
  1. Tetralogy of fallot is the unequal division of the conus resulting from anterior displacement of the conotruncal septum.
  2. It is the most common abnormality of the conotruncal region.
  3. It is not fatal
  4. Occurrence rate is 9.6/10,000 births.
Cardiovascular alterations produced by it
  1. D ⟶ Ventricular Septal Defect
  2. R ⟶ Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
  3. O ⟶ Overriding Aorta
  4. P ⟶ Pulmonary stenosis
Persistent (common) truncus arteriosus
  1. Persistent truncus arteriosus is the defect having no division of the outflow tract.
  2. It occurs when the conotruncal ridges fail to form such division.
  3. Pulmonary artery arises some distance above the origin of the undivided truncus.
  4. Since the ridges also participate in formation of the interventricular septum, the persistent truncus is always accompained by a defective interventricular septum.
  5. The undivided truncus thus overrides both ventricles and receives blood from both sides.
  6. Occurrence rate is 0.8/10,000 births.
Transposition of the great vessels
  1. Transposition of the great vessels is the condition in which the aorta originates from the right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery originates from the left ventricle.
  2. Causes: Failure of conotruncal septum to follow its normal spiral course and runs straight down.
  3. Occurrence rate: 4.8/10,000 births
DiGeorge sequence
DiGeorge sequence is characterized by a pattern of malformations that have their origin in abnormal neural crest development.
Defects
  1. Facial defects
  2. Thymic hypoplasia
  3. Parathyroid dysfunction
  4. Cardiac abnormalities involving the outflow tract
    1. Persistent truncus arteriosus
    2. Tetralogy of Fallot
Valvular stenosis
Cause
Fusion of semilunar valves for variable distance
Incidence
Approx 3 to 4 / 10,000 births
Pulmonary arterial valvular stenosis
  1. The trunk of the pulmonary artery is narrow or even atretic.
  2. The patent oval foramen then forms the only outlet for blood from the right side of the heart.
  3. The ductus arteriosus, always patent, is the only access route to the pulmonary circulation.
Aortic valvular stenosis
  1. Fusion of the thickened valves may be so complete that only a pinhole opening remains.
  2. The size of the aorta itself is usually normal.
Aortic valvular atresia
  1. Complete fusion of the semilunar aortic valves is called Aortic valvular atresia.
  2. The aorta, Left ventricle, and Left atrium are markedly underdeveloped.
  3. The abnormality is usually accompained by an open ductus arteriosus, which delivers blood into the aorta.
Ectopia cordis
Ectopia cordis is the condition of the heart lying on the surface of the chest.
Cause
Failure of the embryo to close the ventral body wall.
Right ventricular development
Smooth part
Develops from conus cordis
Rough part
Develops from proximal 1/3 part of bulbous cordis
Left ventricular development
Smooth part
Develops from conus cordis
Rough part
Develops from primitive ventricle
TRUNCUS ARTERIOSUS
  1. A spirally arranged aorto-pulmonary septum divides the truncus into ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk.
  2. This septum rotates clock-wise from below upwards, Thus
    1. In lower part of septum, pulmonary trunk lies in front of aorta.
    2. In middle part, pulmonary trunk lies on the left side of aorta.
    3. In upper part, pulmonary trunk lies behind the aorta.
Note
  1. The upper end of truncus arteriosus is divided into right and left limbs and each limb is connected to corresponding dorsal aorta by 6 aortic arches.
  2. Upper 5 pairs of aortic arches are connected to the ascending aorta and 6th pair of arch is annexed with the pulmonary trunk.
