1. Congenital heart diseases

2. These are abnormalities in the cardiocirculatory structures or function that are present at birth, even if it is discovered later. Incidence 0.8% in normal population. 2-6% in 2 nd pregnancy after birth of 1 st child with CHD. 20-30% if 2 other siblings have CHD.

3. Etiology Multifactorial : genetic, enviromental Genetic : 1.Chromosomal anomalies ( Turner, Trisomies 18,21). 2.Supracristal VSD in Asian. 3.Increase incidence if 1 st degree relative affected. 4.Chromosomal deletion ( chr. 22q11….. DiGeorge syndrome ). 5.Cardiomyopathy. 6.Heritable arrhythmias

4. Enviromental : Maternal DM Phenylketonuria Congenital rubella SLE Drugs (Lithium, ethanol, warferin, thalidomide, antimetabolites, anticonvulsants)

7. VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT (VSD) The most common CHD Anatomically classified into: 1-membranous VSD 80% 2-Muscular VSD 5% 3-Inlet VSD 5% Hemodynamically (functionally): classified into: 1- Small VSD (small Lt.-Rt. Shunt) 2-Moderate VSD 3-Large VSD

8. Ventriculoseptal Defect

9. pathophysiology

10. The functional disturbance caused by VSD magnitude of the L-R shunt depends on: size of VSD & degree of pulmonary vascular resistance not on the site of VSD. In large VSD there is no resistance to the flow, so there is large shunt and there will be progressive increase in right ventricular (RV) & pulmonary artery pressure, as a result of increase of the pulmonary vascular resistance which causes reverse shunt Rt-Lt. (Eisenmenger syndrome) which is irreversible

11. In small VSD there is high resistance to the flow through the VSD so there is small Lt.-Rt Shunt and the pressure is normal in RV and pulmonary artery (PA).

12. Clincal features Small VSD 1-Most common. 2-Asymptomatic. 3-Dx during routine examination. 4-Harsh, blowing holosystolic murmur. 5-Immediately in neonatal period Lt to Rt shunt minimal lead to that the murmur may not be heard. 6-In premature the murmur heard earlier.

13. Large VSD Dyspnea,feeding difficulty, poor growth, profuse sweeting recurrent pulmonary infection. Cyanosis usually absent, but duskiness specially during infection. O/E: 1-Palpable parasternal lift. 2-Lateral displaced impulse. 3-Systolic thrill. 4-Holosystolic murmur less harsh. 5-Pulmonary component of 2 nd heart sounds increased. 6-Mid diastolic rumbling murmur increased at apex =qp;qs ratio 2:1.

14. DIAGNOSIS: 1.ECG: a.small VSD -> normal ECG b.large VSD -> biventricular hypertrophy 2.C X R.: a.small VSD -> normal b.large VSD -> cardiomegaly, dilated pulmonary vessels (plethoric lung)

15. 3.Echo: two-dimensional and doppler echo must be done in all patients to determine the following: a. Size b. Anatomical location c. Size & direction of intracardiac shunt d. The degree of pulmonary hypertension e. Present of associated lesion (as TOF)

16. 4-Catheterization & angiography: a small number of patients with VSD requires cath. (because echo is more sensitive & more specific). a Provide a clear anatomical picture of the location and no. of VSD in patients when surgery is required b.Estimation of magnitude of the shunt & pulmonary vascular resistance (to know if the patient is still operable or not). c.Close some muscular VSDs with catheter derived devices.

17. Prognosis and natural history Course depends on the size : Small VSD ( 30-50%) close spontaneously frequently during 1 st 2 years of life  Muscular 80%.  Membranous 35% Small asymptomatic if unoperated long term sequalies (arrythmia, subaortic stenosis, exercise intolerance ). Large vsd less likely to close spontaneously. 8% may close completely. repeated infection, repeated HF,FTT.

18. Large VSD: most patients need surgical repair, in the 1 st year of life, Without surgical repair, most patients will develop pulmonary hypertension and some reach to Eisenmenger syndrome (10%), but 5% wall develop infundibular & pulmonary stenosis.

19. Those with supracristal VSD at risk for aortic regurgitation. Small % acquired infandibular pulmonary stenosis protect pulmonary circulation from over circulaion. There is risk of infective endocarditis irrespective of defect size.

20. Treatment Small VSD 1-Reassured the parents. 2-Encouraged patient to have normal life, no restriction of physical activity. 3-Surgical repair not encouraged. 4-Protect against IE with AB. 5-Can monitor the patient with 1.Clinical examination 2.ECG for evidence of PH 3.Echo

21. Large VSD Medical Rx: To control HF and prevent development of PH and tx of resp. infection nutritional support prophylaxis SBE Surgical repair: either pulmonary arty banding or total surgical repaire Indications 1-Any age with large defects in whom clinical features and failure to thrive can’t be controlled medically 2-Infants between 6-12 months with large defects associated with PH even if symptoms controlled by medical Rx.

22. 3- more thane 24 months old age and qp:qs > 2:1. 4-Patient with supracristal VSD of any size because of risk of development of aortic regurgitation. Catheterization based tx;most muscular VSD and some membranous can closed by devices place during cath.

23. ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT (ASD) an opening in the intra-atrial septum other than patent foramen ovale more common in females; F:M ratio is 3:1. It has 3 types: 1-Primum ASD (in lower part) 10% 2-Secondum ASD (in the middle) 80% 3-Sinus venosus (in the upper part) 10% HEMODYNAMIC EFFECT: There will be chronic Lt-Rt. Shunt which causes volume overload on the Rt. Sided cardiac structures & result in their dilatation & increase of pulmonary blood flow.

24. ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT

25. Clinical features Most often asymptomatic. In younger children may cause subtle FTT. In older children lead to exercise intolerance. O/E: Mild Lt precordial bulge. Loud 1 st heart sound. 2 nd heart sound split widely and fixedly. Systolic ejection murmur. Short rumbling mid – diastolic murmur with the bell of the stethoscope =qp:qs at least 2:1.

26. DX: A.CXR Cardiomegaly of RV configuration Round apex peak Increase pulmonary marking B. ECG: Right axis deviation (RAD) Incomplete RBBB Peaked P-wave (RA enlargement )

27. C- Echo: Trans-thoracic & trans-esophageal echocardiography is essential for Dx. D. Cardiac Catheterization: Not essential for Dx, indicated in: Therapeutic aim & 'Exclude associated cardiac anomaly. Natural history ASD is a benign lesion Rarely causes heart failure or pulmonary hypertension in the 1 st decade of life Rarely complicated by infective endocarditis Rarely closed spontaneously after infancy

28. Treatment If patient Symptomatic or has qp :qs ratio at least 2:1 Then the treatment is The surgery done after 1 yr. of age and before enterance to school. 1.Surgery 2.Transcatheter device closure

29. Atrial septal defect

30. Prognosis May close spontaneously during infant. Mau be tolerated during childhood. Symptoms not appear until 3 rd decade or later and late menifestation is 1.PH 2.Atria dysarrhythmias 3.Mitral or tricuspid insufficiency 4.HF Infective endocarditis rare and need no prophylaxis with AB.

31. Atriovantricular septal defect(endocardial cushion defect) It is agroup of anomalies sharing adefect at the site atrioventricular septum And abnormality in the atrioventricular valve. Common in downs syndrom,so all patients with downs syndrom should Have cardiac evaluation if symptomatic or before 6 months of age Equal no. of male and females are affected

32. CLASSIFICATION: 1-Partial: ASD primum, clefted mitral valve.intact VSD 2-Complete: ASD primum, large inlet VSD, common single atrio­ventricular valve. C/F: 1- Partial: either asymptomatic (mainly) or mild symptoms. O/E: ASD murmur of mitral regurgitation. 2. Complete: as the above with heart failure and/or pulmonary vascular disease.

33. pathophysiology OP: Lt Rt. Shunt. Mitral insufficiency. PA pressure normal. C/F of ASD. AVSD : Lt Rt shunt at atrial + ventricular level. Valvular insuffiency volume load on one or both ventricles. pulmonary vascular resistance Rt Lt shunt cyanosis.

34. Diagnosis 1.CXR : marked cardiac enlargement, pulmonary vascularity, PA enlargement. 2.ECG: Rt axis deviation of QRS,RBBB,RVH. 3.ECHO : RV enlargement, septal deficiency. 4.CATHE. 5.Selective LV ventriculography.

35. Treatment OP : surgical correction. Complete AVSD : risk of PHPT during 1 st 6-12 mo. surgery in early infancy Some time do pulmonary banding if too small baby or associated with deformity that make surgery risky.

36. NATURAL HISTORY: It depends on the size of various atrial and ventricular defects and the amount of mitral regurgitation. The ostium primum ASD with no mitral regurgitation has the same benign natural history of simple secondum ASD, but with complete AV-canal defect, heart failure and/or pulmonary vascular disease may occur.

37. PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS (PDA) It is a channel that connect the pulmonary artery with the descending aorta (isthumus part). It results from the persistence of patency of the fetal ductus arteriosus after birth. It is the most common lesion in infant of mothers with congenital rubella, PDA more common in females. It is a channel that connect the pulmonary artery with the descending aorta (isthumus part). It results from the persistence of patency of the fetal ductus arteriosus after birth. It is the most common lesion in infant of mothers with congenital rubella, PDA more common in females.

38. Patent ductus arteriosus Normally functional closure of ductus arteriosus occurs at 10-15 hr after birth. If it persist opened after pulmonary vascular resistance falls leads to aortic blood shunts to pulmonary artery. More common in female Aortic side ( distal to the origin of lt subclavian art.) Pulmonary side ( at the bifurication )

39. Why it is not closed ? Premature ( normal structure ) due to hypoxia and immaturity. In term baby have structural abnormality. In term baby if persist beyond 1 st few weeks means not closed spontaneously. Most of cases in premature closed spontaneously. 10% associated with other CHD.

40. Pathophysiology Lt Rt shunt depends Size of defect Ratio of pulmonary : systemic vascular resistance

41. Clinical features Small Asymptomatic. Heart size may be abnormal Large Hf, growth retardation Bounding peripheral pulse Wide pulse pressure Large heart Apical impulse prominent Thrill Machinery murmur Mid-diastolic murmur at apex

42. DIAGNOSIS: ECG: In small PDA, it is normal, but large PDA, there is normal axis deviation, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or biventricular hypertrophy. Chest X-ray: Cardiomegaly, plethoric lung, and prominent pulmonary conus.

43. treatment Closure irrespective of age. Endomethacin is often effective in closing the PDA in the premature neonate by decreasing PGE1 levels. Closure by : 1.Thoracoscopic ( postoperative discomfort and scarring ). 2.Transcatheter : Small coil. Large sac in which several coils released or umberella –like device.

64. It is the commonest cyanotic heart disease in children, it’s a combination of :- Right ventricular outflow obstruction(pulmonary stenosis) VSD Dextroposition of aorta with override of ventricular septum. Right ventricular hypertrophy.

66. RV outflow obstruction : various sites, but most common is infandibular site. VSD large, non obstructive. Overriding of aorta ( right sided in 20% ).

67. Clinical features Time of onset of symptoms Severity of cyanosis RV hypertrophy Depend of the degree of right ventricular outflow obstruction

68. If mild initially heart failure with age, patient grows infandibular hypertrophy cyanosis develops in 1 st year of life. If severe obstruction cyanosis develops immediately after birth.

69. In older children, long standing dusky blue skin, grey sclera, engorged blood vessels, clubing of fingers & extracardiac manifestation. Dyspnea on exertion so they stop to take rest or have squatting position. Growth retardation ( if severe and untreated ). Delayed puberty.

70. O/E Pulse normal Venous and arterial pressure normal. Heart size normal. Lt. hemithorax bulged because of RVH. Murmur, ejection systolic because of RV outflow obstruction.

90. TETRALOGY OF FALLOT (TOF) It is the commonest cyanotic congenital heart disease in children and adults It is a combination of: 1-VSD 2-Pulmonary stenosis (PS). 3-Overriding of aorta. 4-Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH). HEMODYNAMICS: The degree of right ventricular outflow obstruction (i.e. P.S.) determines the degree of pulmonary blood flow and the severity of cyanosis.

91. C/F: 1-Cyanosis: most patients develop cyanosis in the first 6 month - 1 year of life. 2-Dyspnoea: occurs in exertion, so they have a limited exercise tolerance. 3-Squatting: it is the characteristic posture of children with TOF after any physical effort. Q/E: 1-Cyanosis (central and peripheral). 2-Clubbing (usually after 3 months of age). 3-Single S2 & ejection systolic murmur at the left sternal border. 4-Normal pulse & quiet procardium.

92. INVESTIGATION: ECG: Right axis deviation (RAD) & right ventricular hypertrophy CXR: 1-Normal heart size. 2-Rounded apex situated above the diaphragm (hypertrophied RV). 3-Concavity at the main pulmonary artery area. 4-Reduced pulmonary vascularity (oligemic lung). The classical radiological picture of TOF is called (boot shape). Echo: It is essential for Dx. Catheterization: Gives the definitive Dx and as a preoperative step.

93. COMPLICATIONS: 1-Hypercyanotic spells. 2-Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). 3-Cerebral abscess. 4-Infective endocarditis. 5-Haematological complications include bleeding and thrombosis. All complications are essentially due to cyanosis & polycythemia. 6- Polycythemia is due to hypoxia which results from right to left shunt (as the right pressure grows higher than the left one).

94. RX: 1. Medical: a. Rx of anemia by iron, sometimes considered as relative anemia if we find normal Hb level; also nutritional support. b. Phlebotomy: in symptomatic patients with hematocrit more than 65% (as there is a risk for CVA). 2. Surgical: a. Palliative to  pulmonary blood flow e.g.: Blalock-Taussig shunt (BT shunt). b. Total surgical repair.

95. Indications for surgery: 1-Cyanosis 2-Hypecyanotic spells 3-Polycythemia 4-↓ exercise tolerance 5-Appropriate age and weight (usually between 2-3 years, if there is cyanosis).

96. HYPER.CYANOTIC SPELLS: Attacks of increasing cyanosis associated with abnormal respiration and altered level of consciousness and it is an important cause of death in TOF patients (especially in mild cyanosis). Spells are particular problems during the 1 st 2 years of life and is more common in the morning and can be precipitated by any activity. Most spells are self- limited, but should be considered as an indication for surgery. The cause is infundibular spasm.

97. RX: 1-Knee-chest position. 2-O 2. 3-Sodium bicarbonate to correct metabolic acidosis. 4-Morphine: 0.2 mg/Kg subcutaneously (s.c.) or i.v. can be repated 4 hourly.
