CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE – RIGHT TO LEFT SHUNT ADESINA M, Origbemisoye #684
INTRODUCTION • Abnormalities of the heart or great vessels that are present from birth • Congenital affections of the heart • Faulty embryogenesis – week 3 to week 8 • 1st year of life – ½ • Discrete region of heart • The most common birth defects are cardiovascular in origin
INCIDENCE • Most prevalent malformation and most common type of heart disease among children • 1% of live birth • Incidence is higher in premature infants & in still borns • Coarctation of aorta, VSD, ASD, AVSD, PS, PDA, TOF, TGA, Aortic stenosis, Tricuspid atresia, PTA & TAPVC
PATHOGENESIS GENETICS Many of these genetic defects are autosomal dominant Trisomies -13, 15, 18, 21 (Down’s syndrome) Monosomy x - Turner’s syndrome Microdeletion – DiGeorge syndrome Single gene defects – Noonan’s syndrome, Marfan’s syndrome, Holt oram syndrome, Ellis van creveld syndrome & Alagille syndrome
PATHOGENESIS • MATERNAL DISORDERS – Rubella, SLE, GDM & FAS • DRUGS – warfarin, lithium, phenytoin, sodium valproate & retinoic acid • Multifactorial – environmental factors
CLINICAL FEATURES OF CHD • Malformations causing a left to right shunt • Malformations causing a right to left shunt • Malformations causing an obstruction
RIGHT TO LEFT SHUNTS • Tetralogy of Fallot • Transposition of great arteries • Tricuspid atresia • Persistent TruncusArteriosus • Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection • Hypoplastic left heart syndrome • Ebsteinanormaly
CHANGES AT BIRTH • Umbilical arteries – medial umbilical lig. • Umbilical vein – ligamentumteres of liver • Ductusvenosum – ligamentumvenosum • Ductusarteriosus – ligamentumarteriosus
PRESENTATION OF TOF Wrong positioning of the aorticopulmonary septum • Obstruction to RV outflow (severity) • Aortic override of the VSD • RV hypertrophy • VSD
LAB. WORK FOR TOF • ECG – RV hypertrophy • Chest x-ray – Coeur en sabot • Two dimensional echocardiography – malalignedvsd, overriding aorta & site with PS with severity • Classic contrast angiography – RV outflow & pulmonary valve
TREATMENT FOR TOF • Surgical repair • Endocarditis remains a risk
TYPES OF TGA Ventriculoarterial discordance with normal arteriovenous concordance • Complete TGA • Congenitally corrected TGA
COMPLETE TGA 2/3 PDA – Exogenous prostaglandin 1/3 VSD Dextro Male > female 10% of CHD Treatment : Surgery - enlargement of intra-atrial communication, arterial switch operation,
CONGENITALLY CORRECTED TGA • Transposition of ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk • Inversion of ventricles
Complete occlusion of tricuspid valve orifice • Unequal AV canal • RV underdevelopment • Patent foramen ovale • ECG characteristically shows RA enlargement, left-axis deviation, and LV hypertrophy • Cyanosis dominates the picture • TREATMENT : Atrial septostomy
Failure of aorticopulmonary septum to form • 100% associated vsd • Increase pul. Blood flow • Irreversible pulmonary hypertension • systemic cyanosis
Pulmonary veins fail to directly join the left veins • Patent foramen ovale /ASD • volume & pressure hypertrophy with dilation of right part of the heart • Dilation of pulmonary trunk • Hypoplastic LA • Normal LV • cyanosis
Left heart of new born fails to develop completely • Small LV & Aorta • Cyanosis & rapid breathing • Norwood procedure • Glenn procedure • Fontan procedure
Rare • Various presentations • Abnormal muscle of ventricle • Abnormal valve leakage • Progressive cyanosis from right to left atrial shunting • Tricuspid regurgitation & RV dysfunction • Wolff – Parkinson white syndrome • Treatment – repair of native valve.
