Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)
Dr Abdulkadir assistant professor of pediatrics & child health
Epidemiology
Incidence - 8/1000 live births
-2/100 premature infants excluding PDA
- 3-4/100 still born
- 10-25/100 abortuses
– This incidence increases to 2–6% for a 2nd pregnancy
after the birth of a child with congenital heart disease or
if a parent is affected.
– This recurrence risk is highly dependent on the type of
lesion in the 1st child.
• Most congenital defects are well tolerated during fetal life.
Etiology
- Unknown in most cases
- Genetic factors - single gene defect
- Chromosomal abnormality.
- Environmental factors

Clues for Evaluation of an Infant with suspected CHD
1. History and Physical Examination
• Acyanotic
• Cyanotic
– Hyperoxia test:
– Get arterial blood gas analysis (ABG) on room air
– If p02 <100mmhg, administer 100% Fio2
– Repeat ABG after 10 minutes
– If p02:
• >150mmhg…..non-cardiac
• 100- 150mmhg….equivocal (Do echocardioghy)
• <100mmhg…..cyanotic heart disease
2. Chest X-ray

1.1 Atrial Septal Defect
Three major types exist : primum, secundum and
sinus venosus
• Secundum ASD arises either :
– from an enlarged foramen ovale or
– inadequate growth of the septum secundum or
– excessive absorption of the septum primum.
• Pathophysiology
• Lt:rt shunt pul blood flow overload of pulmonary
vasculature
pulmonary hypertension
CHF lt=Rt atial pressure Rt>lt pressure
lt:Rt shunt cease shunt reversal
Clinical Manifestations
Most are asymptomatic
Hyperactive precordium, Right ventricular heave

- Large pulm. artery
- Increased pulm. vascularity
ECG – RAD of QRS in secundum ASD
- LAD of QRS in primum ASD
Echocardiography
Catheterization
Complications
- Pulmonary Hypertension
- Eisenmenger syndrome
- Arrhythmia
Treatment
Surgery-for all symptomatic
Asymptomatic patients with shunt ratio > 2:1

Ventricular septal defect
• VSD is the most common cardiac malformation.
• VSD is a condition whereby there is a hole
between the two pumping chambers of the
heart.
• VSDs occur in isolation or in combination with
other congenital heart defects, as in an
atrioventricular canal (AVC), TOF and TGA.
• Defects may occur in any portion of the ventricular
septum.
• 3 types
– membranous - commonest
– Supracristal- less common
– Muscular
• single or
• multiple (Swiss cheese septum).
Con’d
• PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
– Left-to-right shunt increased pul. blood flow.
• Restrictive VSDs(usually <0.5 cm2)
– right ventricular pressure is normal
– the size of the defect limits the magnitude of the
shunt
• Nonrestrictive VSDs (usually >1.0 cm2)
– right and left ventricular pressure is equalized
– the direction of shunting and shunt magnitude are
determined by the ratio of pulmonary to systemic
vascular resistance
Acyanotic CHD…
Clinical Manifestation
 Small defects with trivial Lt to Rt Shunt
- Most common
- Asymptomatic
- Loud, harsh holosystolic M at LLSB
 Large defects
- Excessive pulmonary blood flow
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Dyspnea, feeding difficulties, poor growth,
perspiration, recurrent plum. infection, heart failure
- Less harsh but more blowing holosystolic murmur
- Accentuated 2nd heart sound
- Mid-diastolic apical Murmur when shunt ratio > 2:1
Acyanotic CHD…
Diagnosis
- Clinical
- CXR - Cardiomegaly
- Plethoric lung
- ECG
- Echocardiography
Con’d
• TREATMENT
– medical management
• has two aims:
– to control heart failure and
–prevent the development of pulmonary
vascular disease.
– Surgical management
• Indications for surgical closure :
– patients at any age with large defects in whom clinical
symptoms and failure to thrive cannot be controlled
medically
– infants between 6 and 12 mo of age with large defects
associated with pulmonary hypertension, even if the
symptoms are controlled by medication
– patients older than 24 mo with a Qp : Qs ratio greater
than 2 : 1.
– Patients with supracristal VSD of any size.
• Severe pulmonary vascular disease is a contraindication to closure
of a VSD
Acyanotic CHD…
• Complications
- Infective endocarditis
- Recurrent lung infection
- Heart failure
- Pulmonary HTN
- Acquired pulmonary stenosis
PROGNOSIS
• A significant number (30–50%) of small defects close
spontaneously, most frequently during the 1st 2 yr of
life.
• Small muscular VSDs are more likely to close (up to
80%) than membranous VSDs are (up to 35%).
• It is less common for moderate or large VSDs to close
spontaneously (up to 8% may close completely)
• The results of primary surgical repair are excellent
1.CHD part 1_2.ppt have important document
1.CHD part 1_2.ppt have important document
Atrioventricular septal defect
• AVSD results from incomplete fusion the the
endocardial cushions, which help to form the
lower portion of the atrial septum, the
membranous portion of the ventricular
septum and the septal leaflets of the triscupid
and mitral valves.
• Accounts for 4-5% of CHD.
• Complete AVSD most common in downs
syndrome, unlike partial which is common in
non downs syndrome patients.
• Complete AVSD also occur in patients with
heterotaxy syndromes(more common with
asplenia than with polysplenia).
• Complete Form
• Low primum ASD
continuous with a posterior
VSD.
• Cleft in both septal leaflets
of TV/MV.
• Results in a large L to R
shunt at both levels.
• TR/MR, Pulm HTN w/
increase in PVR.
• Incomplete Form
• Any one of the components
may be present.
• Most common is primum
ASD, cleft in the MV & small
VSD.
• Hemodynamics are
dependent on the lesions.
Management
• Surgery is always required.
• Treat congestive symptoms.
• Pulmonary banding maybe required in
premature infants or infants < 5 kg.
• Correction is done during infancy to avoid
irreversible pulmonary vascular disease.
Patent ductus arteriosus
PDA is one of the most common congenital cardiac
defects.
It is a connection between the aorta and the
pulmonary artery.
Common in premature babies and congenital rubella
syndrome
Female-to-male ratio is 3:1

2. The Obstructive Lesions
• Pulmonary Stenosis
• Aortic Stenosis
• Coarctation of the Aorta
• 2.1 Pulmonic Stenosis
• 4 types
– Valvular stenosis
– Isolated infundibular stenosis
– supravalvular pulmonary stenosis
– branch pulmonary artery stenosis
Hemodynamics
• RV pressure hypertrophy  RV failure.
• RV pressures maybe > systemic pressure.
• Post-stenotic dilation of main PA.
• W/intact septum & severe stenosis  R-L
shunt through PFO  cyanosis.
• Cyanosis is indicative of Critical PS.
Clinical features
• Depends on the severity of obstruction.
• Asymptomatic with mild PS < 30mmHg.
• Moderate-severe PS: 30-60mmHg, > 60mmHg
• RV heave
• Split 2nd heart sound with a delay
• Ejection click, followed by systolic murmur.
• Heart failure & cyanosis seen in severe cases.
DIAGNOSIS
• The electrocardiogram shows
– gross right ventricular hypertrophy, frequently accompanied by
a tall, spiked P wave.
• Radiographic studies
– cardiac enlargement with prominence of the right ventricle and
right atrium.
– Prominence of the main pulmonary artery segment may be
seen due to poststenotic dilatation
– Intrapulmonary vascularity is decreased.
• echocardiogram shows
– severe deformity of the pulmonary valve and right ventricular
hypertrophy.
• catheterization
Con’d
• TREATMENT
– Surgical
• COMPLICATIONS
– Heart failure
– Infective endocarditis
• is a risk but is not common in childhood.
• PROGNOSIS
– In untreated severe stenosis, the course may abruptly worsen with the
development of right ventricular dysfunction and cardiac failure.
Con’d
2.2 Aortic Stenosis
– Valvular stenosis
– Subvalvular (subaortic) stenosis
– Supravalvular aortic stenosis
• PATHOPHYSIOLOGY.
– obstruction to Left ventricular outflow increased
Left ventricular systolic pressure left ventricular
wall hypertrophy
Con’d
• CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS.
– depend on the severity of the obstruction.
• In mild stenosis
– Normal pulse and apical impulse
– Normal to enlarged heart size
– Systolic ejection murmur
• Severe aortic stenosis (critical aortic stenosis).
– Heart failure, cardiomegaly, and pulmonary edema are severe.
– the pulses are weak in all extremities, and the skin may be pale or
grayish, urine output may be diminished.
– Rarely, fatigue, angina, dizziness, or syncope may develop in an
older child
– Sudden death has been reported with aortic stenosis
Con’d
• The physical findings are dependent on the degree of
obstruction to left ventricular outflow.
– If the stenosis is severe
• the 1st heart sound may be diminished
• 2nd sound may be split paradoxically (becoming wider
in expiration).
• A 4th heart sound may be audible
• The typical murmur is audible maximally at the right
upper sternal border and radiates to the neck and the
left midsternal border.
Con’d
• DIAGNOSIS
– Clinical
– Chest x-ray
– ECG
– ECHO
– Left heart catheterization
– Graded exercise testing
Con’d
• TREATMENT.
– Balloon valvuloplasty
– Surgery
• COMPLICATION
– Heart failure
– Infective endocarditis
– Sudden death
– Arrhythmia
• PROGNOSIS
– Those who survive may develop signs of left ventricular diastolic
muscle dysfunction (restrictive cardiomyopathy) later in life
2.3 Coarctation of the Aorta
• Occur at any site from the arch of aorta to iliac
bifurcation
• Types: Preductal, ductal, Post-ductal
• 98% juxta ductal, More common in males
• May be a feature of turner syndrome
Pathogenesis
• In utero arch hypoplasia
Rt heart output passes through the ductus
Acyanotic CHD…
Clinical Manifestation
 Hypertension → mechanical obstruction
→ renal
 Differential cyanosis → pale upper extr.
→ cyanosed lower extr.
 Classic signs

- Notching of ribs
- ECG
- Echocardiography
Prognosis – Untreated cases succumb by 20-40 years
Complications - Cardiovascular accidents
- Infective endocarditis
- Aneurysms
Treatment
- Medical - IV PGE1 in neonatal age

  • 33. Patent ductus arteriosus PDA is one of the most common congenital cardiac defects. It is a connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Common in premature babies and congenital rubella syndrome Female-to-male ratio is 3:1
  • 34. Acyanotic CHD… Clinical Manifestation Asymptomatic in small PDA Wide pulse pressure Bounding pulse large Continuous or machinery M at 2nd Left ICS
  • 35. Acyanotic CHD… Diagnosis - Clinical - Chest X-ray - ECG - Echocardiography
  • 36. Treatment - Medical…indomethacin - Surgical closure Complications - Infective Endocarditis/Endarteritis - CHF - Embolization - Pulmonary HTN Prognosis - Small PDA - normal life - Large PDA - CHF
  • 38. 2. The Obstructive Lesions • Pulmonary Stenosis • Aortic Stenosis • Coarctation of the Aorta
  • 39. • 2.1 Pulmonic Stenosis • 4 types – Valvular stenosis – Isolated infundibular stenosis – supravalvular pulmonary stenosis – branch pulmonary artery stenosis
  • 40. Hemodynamics • RV pressure hypertrophy  RV failure. • RV pressures maybe > systemic pressure. • Post-stenotic dilation of main PA. • W/intact septum & severe stenosis  R-L shunt through PFO  cyanosis. • Cyanosis is indicative of Critical PS.
  • 41. Clinical features • Depends on the severity of obstruction. • Asymptomatic with mild PS < 30mmHg. • Moderate-severe PS: 30-60mmHg, > 60mmHg • RV heave • Split 2nd heart sound with a delay • Ejection click, followed by systolic murmur. • Heart failure & cyanosis seen in severe cases.
  • 42. DIAGNOSIS • The electrocardiogram shows – gross right ventricular hypertrophy, frequently accompanied by a tall, spiked P wave. • Radiographic studies – cardiac enlargement with prominence of the right ventricle and right atrium. – Prominence of the main pulmonary artery segment may be seen due to poststenotic dilatation – Intrapulmonary vascularity is decreased. • echocardiogram shows – severe deformity of the pulmonary valve and right ventricular hypertrophy. • catheterization
  • 43. Con’d • TREATMENT – Surgical • COMPLICATIONS – Heart failure – Infective endocarditis • is a risk but is not common in childhood. • PROGNOSIS – In untreated severe stenosis, the course may abruptly worsen with the development of right ventricular dysfunction and cardiac failure.
  • 44. Con’d 2.2 Aortic Stenosis – Valvular stenosis – Subvalvular (subaortic) stenosis – Supravalvular aortic stenosis • PATHOPHYSIOLOGY. – obstruction to Left ventricular outflow increased Left ventricular systolic pressure left ventricular wall hypertrophy
  • 45. Con’d • CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS. – depend on the severity of the obstruction. • In mild stenosis – Normal pulse and apical impulse – Normal to enlarged heart size – Systolic ejection murmur • Severe aortic stenosis (critical aortic stenosis). – Heart failure, cardiomegaly, and pulmonary edema are severe. – the pulses are weak in all extremities, and the skin may be pale or grayish, urine output may be diminished. – Rarely, fatigue, angina, dizziness, or syncope may develop in an older child – Sudden death has been reported with aortic stenosis
  • 46. Con’d • The physical findings are dependent on the degree of obstruction to left ventricular outflow. – If the stenosis is severe • the 1st heart sound may be diminished • 2nd sound may be split paradoxically (becoming wider in expiration). • A 4th heart sound may be audible • The typical murmur is audible maximally at the right upper sternal border and radiates to the neck and the left midsternal border.
  • 47. Con’d • DIAGNOSIS – Clinical – Chest x-ray – ECG – ECHO – Left heart catheterization – Graded exercise testing
  • 48. Con’d • TREATMENT. – Balloon valvuloplasty – Surgery • COMPLICATION – Heart failure – Infective endocarditis – Sudden death – Arrhythmia • PROGNOSIS – Those who survive may develop signs of left ventricular diastolic muscle dysfunction (restrictive cardiomyopathy) later in life
  • 49. 2.3 Coarctation of the Aorta • Occur at any site from the arch of aorta to iliac bifurcation • Types: Preductal, ductal, Post-ductal • 98% juxta ductal, More common in males • May be a feature of turner syndrome Pathogenesis • In utero arch hypoplasia Rt heart output passes through the ductus
  • 50. Acyanotic CHD… Clinical Manifestation  Hypertension → mechanical obstruction → renal  Differential cyanosis → pale upper extr. → cyanosed lower extr.  Classic signs - Disparty in pulse & BP - Radio-femoral delay - Systolic M at LMSB & inter-scapular area
  • 51. Acyanotic CHD… Diagnosis - Clinical - CXR - cardiomegaly & pulm. congestion - Notching of ribs - ECG - Echocardiography Prognosis – Untreated cases succumb by 20-40 years Complications - Cardiovascular accidents - Infective endocarditis - Aneurysms Treatment - Medical - IV PGE1 in neonatal age - Surgery

Editor's Notes

  • #3: This overall incidence does not include mitral valve prolapse, PDA of preterm infants, and bicuspid aortic valves (present in 1-2% of adults).
  • #51: If there is coarctation is in pre-ductal area, Unoxygenated blood will pass through the PDA and supply the lower extremities  there will be lower saturation compared to upper extremities (differential saturation)
  • #52: rib notching (due to collateral BV that erode the ribs)
