Congenital Heart DiseasesCongenital Heart Diseases
-Congenital heart disease is a general term used to describe abnormalities of the heart or great vessels that are present from birth. -Most such disorders arise from faulty embryogenesis, during gestational weeks 3 through 9, when major cardiovascular structures undergo development.

• The aortic valve shows three thin and delicate cusps. The coronary artery orifices can be seen just above.The endocardium is smooth, beneath which can be seen a red-brown myocardium. The aorta above the valve displays a smooth intima with no atherosclerosis.

• This is the tricuspid valve. The leaflets are thin and delicate. Just like the mitral valve, the leaflets have thin chordae tendineae that attach the leaflet margins to the papillary muscles of the ventricular wall below.

• This is a normal coronary artery. The lumen is large, without any narrowing by atheromatous plaque. The muscular arterial wall is of normal proportion.

Incidence & Etiology of congenital heart abnormalities:• 0.8% of live births (high with still births)• Common cause of heart failure in
children• 90% unknown etiology• Chronic alcoholism (Ventricular Septal Defect)
• Rubella (Patent Ductus Arteriosus, Atrial Septal Defect, Pulmonary Stenosis, etc.)
![Page 9: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Etiology
Multifactorial, genetic and environmental inputs, however, are suspected, including:
• chromosomal defects (trisomi 13, 21,18 and 5p deletion, 45X-Turner Syndrome)
• viruses, • Chemicals, drugs such as thalidomide, • radiation. • Alcohol consumption of mother during
pregnancy causes fetal cardiac abnormalities

Classification
![Page 11: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Clinical Consequences
The varied structural anomalies in hearts with congenital defects fall primarily into two major categories:
• Shunts (cyanotic)• Obstructions (acyanotic).
![Page 12: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• A shunt is an abnormal communication between chambers or blood vessels (or both).
• Abnormal channels permit the flow of blood from left to right or the reverse, depending on pressure relationships.
• When blood from the right side of the heart enters the left side (right-to-left shunt), a dusky blueness of the skin and mucous membranes (cyanosis) results because poorly oxygenated blood enters the systemic circulation (cyanotic congenital heart disease; blue baby).
![Page 13: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Severe, long-standing cyanosis
• Clubbing of the tips of the fingers and toes (hypertrophic osteoarthropathy)
• Polycythemia (cerebral thrombosis).
![Page 14: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Left-to-right shunts are not initially associated with cyanosis, but these can result in progressive pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular overload with hypertrophy.
• Late cyanosis.

Left to Right Shunts Defect Mechanism
Ventricular SeptalDefect
There is a hole within the membranous or muscular portions of the inter-ventricular septum that produces a left-to-right shunt, more severe with larger defects. The most extreme example is "cor triloculare biatrium", with no septum at all.
Atrial
Septal
Defect
A hole in the inter-atrial septum produces a modest left-to-right shunt. Lutembacher's syndrome merely refers to mitral stenosis plus an atrial septal defect.
PatentDuctus
Arteriosus
The ductus arteriosus, which normally closes soon after birth, remains open, and a left-to-right shunt develops.

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
• There is a hole within the membranous or muscular portions of the intraventricular septum that produces a left-to-right shunt, more severe with larger defects
![Page 19: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
VSD is classified according to its size.
• 2.1. Small VSD (Maladie de Roger): • Small VSDs (< 0.5 cm in diameter) are
common. They produce a low-volume shunt from the left to the right ventricle during systole.
• This shunt across a high pressure gradient produces a loud pansystolic murmur heard best at the left sternal edge. With a small defect, right ventricular pressure is increased only slightly.
• Cardiac catheterization shows entry of oxygenated blood into the right ventricle.
![Page 20: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• 2.2. Large VSD: • A large VSD is much more serious, with
clinical manifestations appearing in early childhood.
• Initially, a large volume of blood is shunted from the left to the right ventricle during systole, producing volume overload of both ventricles, hypertrophy of both ventricles, and a pansystolic murmur.
![Page 21: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
![Page 22: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Increased blood flow through the pulmonary circulation induces pulmonary hypertension and a loud pulmonary-valve closure sound.
• Progressive thickening and narrowing of the small pulmonary arteries leads to increase in right ventricular pressure, reduction in shunt volume and, finally, shunt reversal.
• This produces cyanosis (Eisenmenger's syndrome). Shunt reversal in VSD occurs some time after birth (tardive cyanosis) and is associated with decrease or disappearance of the pansystolic murmur.
• Patients with VSD are at risk for infective endocarditis.
![Page 23: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ASD & VSD• Small Defects
• No significant shunt
• Source of Infection
• Infective endocarditis
![Page 24: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
• A hole in the inter-atrial septum produces a modest left-to-right shunt.
• Enlarged right heart, & pulmonary vessels.
![Page 25: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1.1. Ostium Secundum ASD :
• The most common type of ASD is a defect in the development of the septum secundum, which produces mild disease that is frequently not detected until adult life.
• In most cases of ostium secundum ASD, the defect is large enough (> 2 cm) to cause near equalization of left and right atrial pressure, with flow of blood from left to right through the ASD. In the usual case, pulmonary flow is increased to about twice that of systemic output, and the right ventricle is dilated and hypertrophied owing to the volume overload.
• This is usually well tolerated, and right ventricular failure is uncommon.
![Page 26: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• The main complication of ostium secundum ASD is the development of pulmonary hypertension, increased right side pressure, and either right heart failure or reversal of the shunt and cyanosis. Paradoxic embolization to the systemic circulation and infective endocarditis may occur.
![Page 27: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1.2. Ostium Primum ASD:
• Ostium primum defects are rare, constituting about 5% of all cases of ASD. They occur as large defects in the lower part of the atrial septum and are often associated with mitral valve lesions.
• Ostium primum defect is common in Down syndrome.
• Ostium primum ASD produces severe disease in early childhood, with features of mitral incompetence superimposed on the ASD.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)• The ductus arteriosus,
serves to shunt blood from pulmonary artery to aorta during intrauterine life.
• Persistence of ductus, which normally closes soon after birth, results in left-to-right shunt develops.
• Leading to pulmonary hypertension.
![Page 31: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Tetralogy of Fallot
Pulmonary stenosis results in right ventricular hypertrophy and a right-to-left shunt across a VSD, which also has an overriding aorta
Transposition
of Great Vessels
The aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk from the left ventricle. A VSD, or ASD with PDA, is needed for extrauterine survival. There is right-to-left shunting
Truncus Arteriosus
There is incomplete separation of the aortic and pulmonary outflows, along with VSD, which allows mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood and right-to-left shunting
Right to Left Shunts
![Page 35: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Tetralogy of Fallot• Pulmonic stenosis (the
aorta crunching it closed) results in right ventricular hypertrophy and a right-to-left shunt across a high VSD, which also has an overriding aorta (aorta straddles the ventricular septum).
• Common cause of cyanotic heart disease.
![Page 36: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital cardiac anomaly.
• It is characterized by: • (1) a large ventricular septal defect; • (2) stenosis of the pulmonary outflow tract; • (3) dextroposition of the aorta, which
overrides the right ventricle; and • (4) hypertrophy of the right ventricle. • The pulmonary stenosis raises right
ventricular pressure so that the shunt across the VSD is right-to-left, with venous admixture of systemic arterial blood causing cyanosis.
![Page 37: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Transposition of Great Vessels• The aorta arises from
the right ventricle and the pulmonic trunk from the left ventricle
• a VSD, or ASD with PDA, is needed for extrauterine survival.
• There is right-to-left shunting.

in Transposition of Great Vessels
• The blood flow is: • right atriumright ventricleaorta • left atriumleft ventriclepulmonary
artery • If the child is to survive for any length of
time after birth, an atrial or ventricular septal defect must be present.
• This malformation is lethal.

ObstructionsPulmonary Stenosis/Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum
Obstruction at the pulmonary valve. When the valve is entirely atretic, the anomaly is commonly associated with a hypoplastic right ventricle and an ASD.
Coarctation of Aorta
Either just proximal (infantile form) or just distal (adult form) to the ductus arteriosus is a narrowing of the aortic lumen, leading to outflow obstruction
Aortic Stenosis and Atresia
The aortic valvular orifice may be narrowed or stenosed by acquired disease (RHD, degenerative calcific aortic stenosis), by anomalous development (atresia or stenosis), or by a combination of both (calcification of a congenitally malformed valve).
![Page 40: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Coarctation of Aorta
• Either just proximal (infantile form) or just distal (adult form) to the ductus is a narrowing of the aortic lumen, leading to outflow obstruction.
• Common in Turner's syndrome.

Coarctation of Aorta
• Since the lower half of the body is likely to be under-perfused (claudication, etc.),
• Renal hypertension is usual, • If the femoral pulses on a hypertensive
patient seem late and weak, it's probably coarctation of the aorta.
![Page 44: Congenital Heart Diseases](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814f30550346895dbcbd68/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
MALPOSITIONS of the HEART
• An acardius is a birth defect in which there is no heart. If the pregnancy goes to term, it is always because the child shares circulation with a twin.
• Dextrocardia means the heart's on the right side.
• In situs inversus totalis, with everything backwards, the heart is usually well-formed.
• If the heart is the only organ that is mal-positioned, it often bears other defects.
