    Extractions: Diagnosing Heart Defects Terri and her husband, Mike, cooed at their newborn daughter, Sasha, born on a sunny Tuesday in Baltimore in 1949. When Terri’s obstetrician, Dr. Libby, came in, they assumed it was to congratulate them, until they saw his face. Dr. Thomas’s diagnosis was tetralogy of Fallot, a type of congenital heart disease or heart defect that occurs as a fetus is developing. "Tetralogy of Fallot," Dr. Thomas explained, "means that the artery from Sasha’s heart to her lungs is narrowed. The wall separating the lower left and right chambers of her heart has a hole in it. These abnormalities prevent oxygen-rich blood from circulating to the rest of her body and cause her blue coloring. We call it cyanosis or Œblue-baby’ disease." Tetralogy of Fallot, he told them, could cost Sasha her life.

Chromosomal Abnormalities Congenital Heart Disease Anatomic defects of the heart and great vessels produced at various stages of fetal development and present at birth. Epidemiology and Etiology The incidence is 1/120 live births. The risk is estimated at 2 to 3% in children with an affected first-degree relative (higher if the relative is a parent). A specific cause can sometimes be identified. Some chromosomal defects (eg, trisomy 13 or 18) may cause severe congenital cardiac anomalies, whereas others (eg, trisomy 21, Turner's syndrome [XO]) and genetic disorders (eg, Holt-Oram syndrome) may cause less severe anomalies. Maternal illness (eg, diabetes mellitus, SLE, rubella), environmental exposure (eg, to thalidomide, isotretinoin, or alcohol [fetal alcohol syndrome]), or combinations of these may be implicated. Physiology and Pathophysiology In normal hearts, cardiovascular changes after birth (closure of the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus, reduced pulmonary vascular resistance) separate systemic from pulmonary circuits (see

    Extractions: congenital heart disease By Eric Berlin, MD Images (click to view larger image) Congenital heart disease, also known as CHD, is any birth defect which affects the heart or the large blood vessels. Congenital means that the defect is present at birth. What is going on in the body? There are many different birth defects that can affect the heart. For example, the valves of the heart may be missing or not work properly. In other cases, there may be holes in the walls of the heart or abnormal connections between blood vessels and the heart. The defects may be mild and cause no problems. Or they may be life threatening and require surgery hours after birth. Some common congenital heart defects include: atrial septal defect , which is an abnormal opening between the two upper chambers of the heart ventricular septal defect , which is an abnormal opening between the two lower chambers of the heart tetralogy of Fallot , which is a set of four typical heart abnormalities coarctation of the aorta , which is a narrowing of the aorta pulmonary atresia , which is an abnormality of the opening between the heart and the arteries to the lungs patent ductus arteriosus , which is an abnormal opening between the aorta and the artery to the lung transposition of the great vessels , which is a switch in the normal positions of the aorta and the artery to the lung What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?

    Extractions: ACHA Home About Us Contact Us Join ACHA! ... Help ACHA! The good news is that most women with congenital heart disease can have a successful pregnancy with proper care. This is not the case for everyone, however; two important questions must be answered before conception: 1) what is the risk to the mother? 2) what is the risk to the fetus? For high-risk patients, labor and delivery is carefully planned. One is admitted to hospital so that labor may be induced. Vaginal delivery is appropriate in most cases unless there are contraindications. Good pain control and a short labor and delivery are important. Special monitoring of both mother and baby is frequently used. Antibiotics are usually given around the time of labor and delivery to help prevent infection. The cardiologist and the obstetrician will work together to ensure a safe delivery. It is important to emphasize that before a woman gets pregnant she should discuss all of these issues with her doctor. These are very important decisions and cannot be undertaken lightly. In addition to reviewing the immediate risks of a pregnancy, consideration should be given to the ability to raise a child for several years. Will one need cardiac surgery in the future and, if so, how risky will that be? It is very gratifying that despite all these challenges many patients have successful pregnancies, and I have a wall of baby photos to prove it!

Although most will have undergone corrective surgery, some may not have been previously treated, or may have recently discovered or complex residual conditions requiring therapy involving drugs, interventional procedures, or surgery. Additional attention is directed to new rhythm disturbances, heart failure, the possible need for pacemakers, and the cardiac concerns of adulthood such as pregnancy, as well as management of hypertension and cholesterol.
