Study Notes
Embryology of the CVS
- The cardiovascular system (CVS) is the second system to develop after the central nervous system (CNS).
- The first heartbeat is detected at 22 days (4th week) in utero.
- Fetal circulation involves oxygenated blood from the placenta traveling via the umbilical vein to the liver, then through the ductus venosus to the inferior vena cava (IVC).
- Additional blood enters the right atrium from the superior vena cava (SVC).
- Most of the blood from the right atrium flows to the left atrium through the foramen ovale.
- A smaller amount flows into the right ventricle and then into the pulmonary trunk (directed towards the lungs).
- Blood from the right ventricle then bypasses the lungs through the ductus arteriosus to the descending aorta.
- The less oxygenated blood is transported through the umbilical arteries.
- Blood mixing occurs in the liver sinusoids, IVC, right atrium, and left atrium.
- The heart tube develops from the cardiogenic mesoderm and fuses to form a single tube.
- The tube is divided into five segments: sinus venosus, primitive atrium, primitive ventricle, bulbus cordis, and truncus arteriosus.
- The heart tube bends into an S-shape as it develops, forming the right and left limbs.
- The right limb involves the truncus arteriosus and bulbus cordis.
- The transverse limb arises from the primitive ventricle.
- The left limb involves the primitive atrium and sinus venosus.
- The sinus venosus develops into the posterior smooth part of the right atrium.
- The left horn and body of the sinus venosus become the coronary sinus.
- The atrioventricular (AV) canal is divided into right and left halves by anterior and posterior cushions.
- The upper part of the AV canal is absorbed into the atria.
- The lower part of the AV canal is absorbed into the ventricles.
- The central part of the AV canal contributes to the formation of tricuspid and mitral valves.
- The interatrial septum is formed of mesodermal cushions.
- A C-shaped septum primum grows towards the septum intermedium with an ostium primum.
- The ostium primum closes, and an ostium secundum appears later.
- A septum secundum forms a passage called the foramen ovale.
- The right atrium is formed from the right half of the primitive atrium and absorbed portions of the right AV canal and sinus venosus.
- The left atrium develops from the left half of the primitive atrium and absorbed sections of the left AV canal and pulmonary veins.
- The interventricular septum is formed by muscular and membranous parts.
- The bulbus cordis differentiates into right and left ventricles, as well as the infundibulum of the right and the vestibule of the left ventricle.
- The development of the semilunar valve involves endocardial cushions within the bulbus cordis.
- The development of aortic arches begins with the aortic sac which forms parts of the great vessels and eventually the arch of the aorta.
- Aortic arches also form various arteries.
- The fetal ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale close after birth. The ductus arteriosus contributes to the development of the ligamentum arteriosum.
Anomalies
- Dextrocardia: The heart is in the mirror image position.
- Ectopia cordis: The heart is exposed outside the thorax.
- ASD (atrial septal defect): Persistent ostium primum or secundum, persistent ostium secundum.
- VSD (ventricular septal defect): The interventricular septum fails to close, persistent interventricular foramen.
- PTA (persistent truncus arteriosus): Failure of the aorticopulmonary septum formation.
- TGA (transposition of the great vessels): Abnormalities in the connection of the aorta and the pulmonary trunk from the ventricles, straight course of aorticopulmonary septum, aorta connected to right ventricle and pulmonary trunk connecting to left ventricle.
- Fallot's tetralogy: Includes pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, a ventricular septal defect (VSD), overriding aorta and a variable right ventricular outflow obstruction.
- Persistent ductus arteriosus: The duct connecting the aorta and the pulmonary artery persists.
- Aortic coarctation: Narrowing of the aorta. There are pre-ductal and post-ductal types. Pre-ductal coarctation is proximal to the ductus arteriosus; post-ductal is distal.
