Chest radiography and assessment of
response to oxygen and/or positive
pressure ventilation as clinically indicated
help to elucidate the cause.

A

The transformation from fetal to neonatal circulation involves two major changes:
1. A marked increase in
systemic resistance caused by loss of the low-resistance placenta.
2. A marked decrease in
pulmonary resistance caused by pulmonary artery dilation with the neonate’s first breaths.

v Definitive therapy for an atrial septal defect (ASD) has historically
been limited to surgical closure.
v However, with the advent of transcatheter techniques, many children
undergo successful treatment in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. v Surgery is ideally performed in children aged 2- 4 years and has a very
low mortality rate (However, surgery may be performed earlier than this
if the child has evidence of CHF).

Q

VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT (VSD)

A

An isolated VSD occurs in approximately
2-6 of every 1000 live births and accounts for
more than 20% of all congenital heart
diseases. v After bicuspid aortic valves, VSDs are the
most commonly encountered congenital
heart defect. v The symptoms and physical findings
associated with VSD depend on the size of
the defect and magnitude of the left to right
shunt, which, in turn, depends on the relative
resistances of the systemic and pulmonary
circulation. v Echocardiography is the diagnostic imaging
modality of choice.

Q

PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS (PDA)

A

Depending on the size of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), the
gestational age of the neonate, and the pulmonary vascular resistance
(PVR), a premature neonate may develop life-threatening pulmonary
overcirculation in the first few days of life. q Conversely, an adult with a small patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) may
present with a newly discovered murmur well after adolescence. q Patients can present at any age. q The typical child with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is
asymptomatic. q If the left-to-right shunt is large, precordial activity is increased. q The apical impulse is laterally displaced; a thrill may be present in the
suprasternal notch or in the left infraclavicular region .

25
Q

Coarctation of the Aorta

A

Coarctation of the aorta may occur as an isolated
defect or in association with various other lesions,
most commonly bicuspid aortic valve and VSD.

26
Q

Coarctation of the Aorta

A 
The classic coarctation of the
aorta is located in the thoracic
aorta distal to the origin of the
left subclavian artery at about the
level of the ductal structure. v However, rarely, a coarcted
segment is present in the lower
thoracic or abdominal aorta (in
such instances, the coarcted
segment may be long and
fusiform with irregular lumen;
many consider these to be
inflammatory or autoimmune in
origin, and they may be variants
of Takayasu arteritis).
27
Q

Coarctation of the Aorta

A

Coarctation of the Aorta
v The most commonly associated clinically significant defects include PDA, VSD, and aortic
stenosis. v The earlier the infant presents, the more likely a significant associated defect is present. v Bicuspid aortic valve may be seen in nearly two thirds of infants with coarctation of the aorta,
whereas only 30% of those who present in childhood have such an anomaly. v Mitral valve anomalies, although less common than those of the aortic valve, are also associated
with coarctation of the aorta. v Sometimes, coarctation of the aorta is a complicating feature of a more complex cyanotic heart
defect, such as TGA, Taussig-Bing anomaly, double-inlet left ventricle, Tricuspid atresia with
transposition of the great arteries, and HLHS. v Aortic coarctation is extremely rare in patients with severe right ventricular outflow tract
obstructions such as TOF and PA/VSD. v Some patients with coarctation of the aorta may have cerebral aneurysms, predisposing them to
cerebrovascular accidents with severe hypertension later in life. Coarctation of the aorta is the
most common cardiac defect associated with Turner syndrome.

TRUNCUS ARTERIOSUS

CHF>cyanosis

A 
Patients with truncus arteriosus
rarely present with cyanosis  but it
may occur in very young
neonates in whom pulmonary
vascular resistance remains
elevated.
q Symptoms and signs of congestive
heart failure are more common
findings than cyanosis in patients
presenting early in life. With
progressively increasing
pulmonary blood flow and,
consequently, myocardial work,
the initial symptoms of congestive
heart failure (eg, poor feeding,
diaphoresis, mild lethargy)
become more evident as failure to
thrive ensues.

Q

TRICUSPID ATRESIA

A 
Tricuspid atresia (TA) is a cyanotic
congenital heart defect characterized by
the complete agenesis of the tricuspid
valve (TV).
q There are several subtypes of this disease
with varied clinical presentations based
on the degree of pulmonary blood flow.
q It carries a very high mortality rate if
there is no intervention during the first
year of life.
q Tricuspid atresia is the third most
common cyanotic congenital heart
disease with a prevalence of around 1.2
per 10000 live births (0.3 – 3.7 % in
patients with congenital heart disease).
46
Q

TRICUSPID ATRESIA

A

q cyanosis is the most common clinical feature
of this lesion.
q The degree of cyanosis depends on the
degree of pulmonary blood flow.
q Infants with associated diminished pulmonary
blood flow or infants who depend on a patent
ductus arteriosus manifest pronounced
cyanosis that worsens as the ductus begins to
close.
q Patients with relatively normal or increased
pulmonary blood flow manifest little cyanosis
but more pronounced congestive heart
failure.
q Digital clubbing is common in infants older
than 3 months.
q Jugular venous pulsations and distention are
common.

47
Q

TRICUSPID ATRESIA

A

electrocardiogram usually shows left axis deviation (very unlike the RVH seen in normal newborns) and right atrial hypertrophy and left-ventricular hypertrophy. Chest x-ray may show increased or decreased pulmonary blood flow depending on the shunt and a normal or mildly increased heart siz

Q

TOTAL ANOMALOUS PULMONARY VENOUS RETURN (TAPVC)

A

TAPVC defines as the
anomaly in which the pulmonary veins have no connection with the left atrium.
q Rather, the pulmonary veins
connect directly to one of the systemic veins (TAPVC) or drain in to right atrium.
q PFO or ASD is present
essentially in those who survive after birth.

50
Q

TOTAL ANOMALOUS PULMONARY VENOUS RETURN (TAPVC)

A

Type I: Supracardiac connections :
§ 45% of TAPVC patients. § The common venous
confluence joins SVC.
q Type II: Cardiac TAPVC :
§ It accounts for 25% of cases. § CVC drains into coronary sinus
or directly into RA.
q Type III: Infracardiac TAPVC:
§ Approximately 21% of cases. § CVC drains into hepatic vein,
ductus venosus, portal vein or IVC.
§ The common pulmonary vein
penetrates the diaphragm through the esophageal hiatus.
q Type IV: Mixed Type:
§ It accounts for <10% of cases.

51
Q

TOTAL ANOMALOUS PULMONARY VENOUS RETURN (TAPVC)

A

TOTAL ANOMALOUS PULMONARY VENOUS RETURN (TAPVC)
v Infants presenting with obstructed TAPVC represent surgical emergency.
v They need intensive resuscitation before going for definitive surgery.
v Non-obstructed TAPVC patient are relatively
stable and can be taken for elective corrective surgery within few days of diagnosis irrespective of patients age and weight.

Q

EBSTEIN ANOMALY

A 
Ebstein anomaly is a
congenital malformation of
the heart that is
characterized by apical
displacement of the septal
and posterior tricuspid
valve leaflets, leading to
atrialization of the right
ventricle with a variable
degree of malformation
and displacement of the
anterior leaflet.

EBSTEIN ANOMALY

A

Treatment options include:
Ø Diuretics (eg, furosemide) Ø medical therapy. Ø Cardiac glycosides (eg, digoxin) Ø radiofrequency ablation. Ø Angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitors (eg, enalapril).
Ø and surgical procedures. v Radiofrequency ablation of the
accessory pathways is an alternative to

Q

HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME (HLHS)

A

HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME (HLHS)
v The term hypoplastic left heart syndrome
(HLHS), initially proposed by Noonan and
Nadas, describes a spectrum of cardiac
abnormalities characterized by marked
hypoplasia of the left ventricle and ascending
aorta.
v The aortic and mitral valves are atretic,
hypoplastic, or stenotic.
v A patent foramen ovale or an atrial septal
defect is usually present.
vCoarctation of the aorta is also commonly present.
vThe ventricular septum is usually intact.
vA large patent ductus arteriosus supplies blood to the systemic circulation.
vSystemic arterial desaturation may be present because of complete mixing of pulmonary and systemic venous blood in the right atrium.
