    1. CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE. SADATH ALI KHAN.

    2. Epidemiology Prevalence:0.5-0.8% of live births (8/1000).Leading cause ofdeath in children with CHD. Etiology:Unknown,multifactorial inheritance,genetic factors implicated,high incidence in first degree relatives. 3% have a single gene defect,13% have associated chromosomal abnormalities. 2-4% are associated with environmental or maternal conditions & teratogenic influences. Gender differences:ASD,VSD,PDA & Pulmonic stenosis more common in girls,left sided lesions in boys. 2-3 in 1000 newborn will be symptomatic within 1 year.2-3 in 1000 newborn will be symptomatic within 1 year.

    3. Classification Acyanotic:according to the predominant physiologic load placed on the heart. Volume load:L-R shunts-ASD,VSD,PDA. Pressure load:Ventricular outflow obstruction Pulmonary,aortic valve lesions,aortic coarctation & pulmonary stenosis. Cyanotic:based on pathophysiology. Decreased pulmonary bloodflow:TOF,Pulmonary atresia,Tricuspid atresia,Single ventricle with pulmonic stenosis. Increased pulmonary blood flow:Transposition of great vessels,Truncus arteriosus.

    4. ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT. Sinus venosus defect:high in the septum. Ostium secundum defect:midseptum. Ostium primum defect:low in the septum. Pathophysiology:L-R shunt-increased flow across Rt heart-RV & PA enlargement. Clinical features:asymptomatic,slow wt gain,frequent LRTI. Diagnosis:Rt ventricular heave,systolic murmur,fixed wide split S2.

    5. Investigations: CXR:enlarged heart & PA,increased vascularity. ECG:Rt axis in secundum defect,hallmark of primum defect is extreme Lt axis,RVH. ECHO:RVH,valve anatomy,flow direction. Treatment:closure during cardiac cathetrization,surgical closure.

    6. VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT. Most common CHD (26%),may be single or multiple. Pathophysiology:Lt-Rt shunt as long as pulmonary vascular resistance is lower than systemic resistance,if reverse shunt reverses Large defects lead to pul.hypertension-Eissenmenger syndrome. Clinical features: depend on size,asymptomatic,growth failure,recurrent LRTI,congestive heart failure,SOB,cyanosis Diagnosis:pansystolic murmur,loud p2.

    7. Investigations CXR:cardiomegaly,enlarged LA&LV. ECG:extreme lt axis is charecteristic,biventricular hypertrophy. ECHO:chamber size & pressures. Cardiac catheter:O2 content,PA pressure,size & no of defects. Treatment:Endocarditis prophylaxis,digoxin,diuretics. Surgical closure before pulmonary vascular changes become irreversible.

    8. PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS. Connection between PA & descending aorta 10% of CHD. Pathophysiology:Lt-Rt shunt,reverses if pulmonary resistance increases-RV enlargement.If PDA is large Eissenmenger syndrome can develop. Clinical features:depend on size & direction of flow,slow growth,LRTI,SOB,cyanosis. Diagnosis:bounding pulse,continous murmur,loud S2.

    9. Investigations CXR:cardiomegaly,increased pul vascularity. ECG:Lt or biventricular hypertrophy. ECHO:2D visualises PDA,doppler shows turbulance. Cardiac catheter:PA pressures & O2 sats. Treatment:Endocardial prophylaxis as long as patent,Indomethacin. Surgical:ligation is curative.
