The causes of congenital heart disease are unknown in 90% of

cases; they are very likely multifactorial with genetic and environmental inputs.
5% of cases are associated with chromosomal abnormalities

Clinical consequences

Increased risk of chronic or recurrent illness
Infective endocarditis (due to

abnormal valves or to endocardial injury from jet lesions)
The various congenital anomalies are two types: shunts
obstructions

Shunts

Denotes abnormal communication between heart chambers, between vessels, or between chambers

and vessels. Depending on pressure relationships, blood may be shunted from left to right (more common) or right to left
Слайд 8

Right - to – left shunts Right-to-left shunts (cyanotic congenital heart

Right - to – left shunts

Right-to-left shunts (cyanotic congenital heart

disease) cause cyanosis from the outset as poorly oxygenated blood passes into the systemic circulation. They also permit emboli from venous sources to pass directly into systemic circulation (paradoxic embolism)
Слайд 9

Left – to – right shunts Left-to-right shunts include chronic right

Left – to – right shunts

Left-to-right shunts include chronic right

heart overload with secondary pulmonary hypertension and right ventricle hypertrophy, but eventually right-sided exceeds left-sided pressure and the shunt becomes right to left. Cyanosis appears late.

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Definition : a secundum atrial defect is

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)

Definition : a secundum atrial defect is a

hole in the septum primum (at the site of the foramen secundum) not covered by the septum secundum
Anatomy: the defect is high in the atrial septum, and may vary from dime size to virtual absence of the atrial septum.
Слайд 15

Physiology In the vast majority instances, the shunt across to defect

Physiology

In the vast majority instances, the shunt across to defect is

from the left to right atrium in diastole. The two atria act as a single filling chamber with identical pressures if the hole is at least 1 cm in diameter; the flow in diastole is toward the ventricular chamber, which is thinner walled and more compliant,i.e., RV
Слайд 16

Physiology ASD The pulmonary arterial presser is normal in spite of

Physiology ASD

The pulmonary arterial presser is normal in spite of the

huge flow, owing to the distensibility of the normal pulmonary arterioles. Increased pressure work is a late phenomenon if arteriolar obstruction appears, at which time to shunt becomes bidirectional or even net right-to-left (pulmonary hypertension)
Слайд 17

Diagnosis Patients with secundum atrial defect do not become symptomatic until

Diagnosis

Patients with secundum atrial defect do not become symptomatic until

childhood or adolescence. This phenomenon may explain the late discovery of the malformation.
The symptoms consist principally of failure to thrive, dyspnea, and palpitations

The Doppler echocardiogram, particularly in color, gives a good estimate

of the size and direction of the shunt

Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD)

Definition: an opening in the ventricular septum that

allows communication between the right and left ventricles

Physiolodgy VSD

A ventricular septal opening allows shunting of left ventricular blood

into the right ventricle. The amount of shunting depends on the size of the defect and the relative pulmonary and systemic resistances. A large left-to-right shunt is associated with increased water in the lung, accounting for the symptom of tachypnea.
Слайд 28

Diagnosis

A ventricular septal defect is most often detected by the

discovery of a murmur on routine examination. The absence of a murmur at birth, and its appearance a few days later, is characteristic of ventrilar septal defects. By contrast, the murmur of infundibular pulmonary stenosis (which is virtually identical on auscultation) is heard at birth

Radiography

Both the heart size and the pulmonary vasculature are normal

in infants with small ventricular defects
With larger defects, the heart is proportionally large, with increased pulmonary vascularity
The left atrial shadow may be large.
Pneumonitis, atelectasis, or aspiration may be evident

Echo-Doppler Study

A Doppler search for additional associated ventricular septal defects should

be made in all cases.
Differences between right ventricular and left ventricular pressures are recorded and possible pressure gradients between the ight ventricle and pulmonary artery are estimated

Management

Small ventricular defects. The majority of patients with ventricular septal

defects are and remain asymptomatic because they defects are small. Only 15% of all patients with a VSD require surgical intervention; even among the symptomatic infants, only 30% come to surgery.
Слайд 36

Management of the Large Ventricular Defect

The most common problems are

congestive heart failure and failure to thrive.
Congestive heart failure is managed initially with digoxin and diuretics, but only rarely is there more than minimal relief of symptoms
Surgical correction is desirable before right heart overload and pulmonary vascular disease develop

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

Definition. In the fetus, the ductus arteriosus permits

blood flow between the aorta(distal to the left subclavian artery) and the pulmonary artery
At term, and under the influence of relatively high oxygen tension and reduced local PG synthesis, muscular contraction closes the ductus within 1 to 2 days of life.

PDA

Persistent patency beyond that point is generally permanent.
About 85% to 90%

of PDAs occur as isolated defects. The length and diameter (up to 1 cm) are variable.
There is associated left ventricular hypertrophy and pulmonary artery dilatation

PDA

Although initially asymptomatic, and notable only for a prominent heart

murmur (described as “machinery-like”), long-standing PDA induces pulmonary hypertension with subsequent right ventricular hypertrophy and finally right-to-left shunting to produce late cyanosis

Early closure of a PDA (either surgically or with prostaglandin administration

in otherwise normal infants) is therefore advocated

Diagnosis of tetralogy Fallot

Older children and adults with tetralogy of Fallot

who have not undergone surgical repair almost never show evidence of congestive heart failure unless there are complicating factors (bacterial endocarditis, anemia, aortic regurgitation). They have cyanosis and exercise intolerance of varying degrees; they have moderate or severe pulmonary stenosis.

Diagnosis

Hypercyanotic spells occur mostly in infants; these consist of uncontrollable

crying with increasing cyanosis, tachycardia, tachypnea, leading occasionally to unconsciousness, and sometimes even to a cerebral vascular accident.
Слайд 47

Diagnosis

The frightening part of these “spells”is that they may occur

in otherwise healthy looking, pink infants. The conventional explanation, based on less than unassailable evidence,is that the attacks are due to infundibular spasm. Usually, these attacks occur in the morning and last from several minutes to an hour or more

Physical Examination

Results of the physical examination of patients having tetralogy with

mild pulmonary stenosis are virtually indistinguishable from those for patients with large ventricular defects. In patients with moderate-to-severe pulmonary stenosis, cyanosis and clubbing dominate the picture.

Minor laboratory test

Severe polycythemia, unusual in infancy, may increase the viscosity

of the blood to a level that would impede oxygen delivery to tissues; the usual manifestation of this are symptoms of the CNS (dizziness, headaches, blackouts).

Management

The treatment for tetralogy of Fallot is surgery. The questions

remaining are the nature and limiting of the operation. There are distinct indications even today for Blalock-Taussig shunts in the treatment of tetralogy of Fallot: a) conus coronary artery, and (b) as an emergency measure for severe hypoxic spells, not manageable by medical means.

Transposition of Great Arteries

Origin of the aorta from the right ventricle

and pulmonary artery from the left ventricle. The patient with transposition of the great arteries has two parallel circulations; blood may recirculate repeatedly through the same side of the heart before returning either to the systemic or the pulmonary capillaries.
Слайд 58

Continuation The unoxygenated systemic venous return passes through the right ventricle

Continuation

The unoxygenated systemic venous return passes through the right ventricle

to the aorta and back to the systemic capillaries. The oxygenated pulmonary venous return passes through the left ventricle and returns to the lungs. It is obvious that the transposed circulation is incompatible with life unless there is communication between the two circuits (VSD, ASD)

Obstructive congenital anomalies

Coarctation of Aorta – is a narrowing or constriction

of the aortic isthmus. It is a common, potentially fatal congenital cardiac malformation, clearly progressive through the years. 50% occur as isolated defects, the remainder with multiple other anomalies.

Postductal coarctation is generally asymptomatic unless very severe. It usually

leads to upper extremity hypertension but low flow in the lover extremities, causing arterial insufficiency ( claudication, cold sensitivity). Collateral flow around the coarctation generally develops, with intercostal rib notching(noted on X-ray views)
