  1. List the common etiology of most congenital heart defects (CHDs) and at least three teratogens that cause CHDs
  2. Differentiate between atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), transposition of the great arteries, and dextrocardia
  3. List five ways an ASD can occur during development and the course of treatment for most ASDs
  4. Describe how to differentiate between ASDs involving the sinus venosus, foramen secundum, and foramen primum
  5. List the four defects associated with Tetralogy of Fallot and treatment for this condition
  6. Describe the consequences of abnormal outflow tract septation
  7. Given ASD, VSD, or an outflow tract defect, determine whether the primary structures involved derive from a specific segment of the heart tube or the secondary heart field
  8. Explain the embryologic events leading to a VSD
  9. Define ventricular hypertrophy and explain how it manifests in Tetralogy of Fallot
  10. Define patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and explain the consequences of a PDA in newborns
