Q

What is the prevalence of congenital heart disease in the FETUS? Why is this different than the prevalence in live births?

A

4-5% incidence in FETUSES, the difference being due to miscarriage, intrauterine, fetal demise, and terminations.

Q

Why is the most common congenital heart defect different in the live births versus general populations? And what is the most common defect for each of these populations?

A

The most common congenital heart defect in the live births population is a VSD. The most common congenital heart defect in the general population overall is bicuspid aortic valve. The difference is because the majority of VSDs close on their own after birth.

Q

A

Auto immune diseases

29
Q

In cases of maternal auto immune disease, what congenital heart defects are most commonly noted

A

Complete heart block, and if mom has been treated with steroids, a constricted ductus arteriosus in late pregnancy

30
Q

Congenital heart disease is found in what percentage of IVF cases

31
Q

What is the incidence of CHD in a fetus with one sibling affected by CHD

32
Q

What is the risk of CHD in a fetus with two or more siblings affected by CHD

33
Q

True or false, the incidence of CHD is the same, whether a fetus has one or multiple siblings affected by CHD

A

False. The risk goes from 2 to 4% for one affected sibling up to 10% for two or more affected siblings.

34
Q

What is the risk of CHD in a fetus if the mother of the fetus has a CHD?

35
Q

What is the risk of CHD in a fetus if the father of the fetus has a CHD

36
Q

True or false. The risk of CHD in a fetus is the same if its mother has a CHD as if it’s father has a CHD. The sex of the parent is not a factor.

A

False. The risk in a fetus if it’s mom has a CHD is 10 to 12%. The risk if it’s father has a CHD is only 1 to 3%

Q

What percent of cases of CHD are minor and easily corrected by surgery

63
Q

What percent of cases of CHD are diagnosed by the first week of life

64
Q

What percent of cases of CHD are diagnosed by the first year of life

65
Q

What percent of cases of CHD are diagnosed by the fourth year of life,

66
Q

Which exam indication has the highest yield for finding a CHD in fetal echo?

A

Suspected cardiac anomaly on routine screening ultrasound

67
Q

What nuchal translucency cut off is currently used as an indication for a fetal echo

A

Greater than or equal to 3.5 mm.

68
Q

True or false: gestational, diabetes diagnosed beyond the first trimester of pregnancy increases the risk of CHD in the fetus, and indicates an echo

A

False. However, pre-gestational diabetes increases the risk of CHD by five times.

69
Q

In what scenario is gestational diabetes, diagnosed beyond the first trimester, considered an indication for an echo

A

When there’s poor glycemic control in either pre-gestational or gestational diabetes, a 3rd trimester echo is indicated to assess for ventricular hypertrophy where HbA1c has been greater than 6% in 2nd trimester.
