and heart rate
Silent: tiny PDA detected only by nonclinical means
(usually echocardiography)
Small: continuous murmur common; Qp/Qs < 1.5 : 1
Moderate: continuous murmur common; Qp/Qs of
1.5 to 2.2 : 1
Large: continuous murmur present; Qp/Qs > 2.2 : 1
Eisenmenger: continuous murmur absent;
substantial pulmonary hypertension, differential
hypoxemia, and differential cyanosis (pink fingers,
blue toes)
A. Type A (“conical”) ductus, with well-
defined aortic ampulla and constriction
near the pulmonary artery end.
B. Very large type B (“window”) ductus,
with very short length.
C. Type C (“tubular”) ductus, which is
without constrictions.
D. Type D (“complex”) ductus, which has
multiple constrictions.
E. Type E (“elongated”) ductus, with
theconstriction remote from the anterior
edge of the trachea.
Symptoms
Small PDA asymptomatic
Moderate fatigue, dyspnea, palpitation
Large CHF with tachycardia, poor feeding, slow
growth, recurrent lower respiratory tract infection
Physical Examination
continuous, machine-like murmur
lower extremity cyanosis and clubbing
Chest Radiograph Normal,
cardiomegaly , calcification of the
ductus
ECG Normal, sinus tachycardia, atrial
fibrillation, left ventricular hypertrophy,
left atrial enlargement
Echocardiogram Confirm diagnosis
and to characterize teh PDA
MRI and CT degree of calcification
Cardiac Catheterization unnecessary
for diagnostic purposes
Angiography abnormal flow of blood
through the PDA. Detailed assessment of
the ductal anatomy
Congestive Heart Failure
Endarteritis
Infective arteritis was reported to be 1%
per year
Improved availability of health care,
widespread use of antibiotics,
Vegetations usually occur on the
pulmonary artery end of the ductus, and
embolic events are usually of the lung
rather than the systemic circulation
Diuretic and digoxin
After load reduction ACE Inhibitor
Antidysrhythmia
Endarteritis prophylaxis
