Study Notes
Development of the Heart
- Progenitor Heart Cells primarily located in the epiblast at the cranial end of the primitive streak.
- Formation of key structures includes cardiac septa, left atrium, pulmonary vein, and atrioventricular valves.
- Septum formation occurs in various areas, including the common atrium and ventricles, during the 5th week of development.
Cardiac Looping and Structure
- The heart tube develops proper orientation and validation after looping.
- Bulbus cordis transforms from smooth to trabeculated as it differentiates into the right and left ventricles.
- The separation of chambers and valves facilitates organized blood flow.
Sinus Venosus Development
- Receives venous blood via the right and left sinus horns by the middle of the 4th week.
- Important veins contributing blood include the vitelline vein, umbilical vein, and common cardinal vein.
Vascular Development
- The formation of the arterial system includes vital structures like vitelline, umbilical, and coronary arteries.
- The venous system begins forming in the 5th week, contributing to the cardiogenic region.
- Blood vessels at both ends of the developing heart play a critical role in support and function.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
- Caused by mutations in genes regulating sarcomere proteins, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
- Affects cardiac muscle organization resulting in hypertrophy, with implications for cardiac output and conduction.
Ventricular Inversion
- A defect where the left ventricle is morphologically located on the right side, leading to mitral valve connection to the right atrium.
- Abnormalities develop during laterality specification; associated with tricuspid valve displacement.
Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs)
- Common congenital malformations, occurring at a rate of 12/10,000 births.
- Majority (80%) happen in the muscular region and often resolve naturally, while membranous VSDs present more serious concerns.
Persistent (Common) Truncus Arteriosus
- Results from failure of conotruncal ridges to divide the outflow tract, occurring at a frequency of 0.8/10,000 births.
- Accompanied by defects in the interventricular septum, significantly impacting circulation.
