Congenital Heart Disease Center Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the name given to any heart defect or malformation that is present at birth. Congenital heart disease is the most common type of birth defect and in most cases, the congenital heart defect involves a structure within the heart and/or the large vessels that either leave or enter the heart. Congenital heart diseases may be mild and unnoticed at birth, then diagnosed later in life (adult congenital heart disease such as Marfan syndrome). Other defects are so severe that they cause a pregnancy complication and diagnosis occurs just before or after birth. Many babies born with CHD go on to lead healthy, full adult lives. Patients with CHD are more susceptible to heart valve disease and infections and may be advised to take antibiotics prior to dental work or medical procedures. Types of CHD include the following: Atrial septal defect (ASD) . A hole in the wall (septum) that divides the atria. AV septal defect (endocardial cushion defect). The center portion of the heart fails to develop. Coarctation of the aorta.

Packard Heart Surgeon Performs Operation on Smallest Infant Cardiovascular Diseases Overview of Congenital Heart Disease One out of every 100 babies born in the United States has a congenital (present at birth) heart defect - a problem that occurred as the baby's heart was developing during pregnancy, before the baby is born. Congenital heart defects are the most common birth defects. A baby's heart begins to develop at conception, but is completely formed by eight weeks into the pregnancy. Congenital heart defects happen during this crucial first eight weeks of the baby's development. Specific steps must take place in order for the heart to form correctly. Often, congenital heart defects are a result of one of these crucial steps not happening at the right time, leaving a hole where a dividing wall should have formed, or a single blood vessel where two ought to be, for example. What causes congenital heart disease?

Pregnancy and Congenital Heart Disease By Carole A. Warnes, MD Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota 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? MATERNAL RISKS FETAL RISKS LABOR AND DELIVERY 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!

Contact Us What is Congenital Heart Disease? The word congenital means 'from birth'. So, congenital heart disease means a heart abnormality that a baby is born with. Every year, about one in every 125 babies in the UK is born with a heart defect. That's a total of about 5,000 babies a year. Nearly half of these babies have a minor defect that repairs itself without treatment. Most of the others are treated successfully with surgery or medicines. 40 years ago only one in five (20%) children born with a heart defect survived – now that figure has risen to over four out of five children (85% There are many different kinds of heart abnormalities. Some children may have only one, while others may have two or more. Most defects are recognised soon after birth or during the first few months of life but, sometimes, they are not noticed until the child is older.

Congenital heart disease Definition of Congenital Heart Disease,signs and treatment. Congenital means inborn or existing at birth. Among the terms you may hear are congenital heart defect, congenital heart disease and congenital cardiovascular disease. The word "defect" is more accurate than "disease." A congenital cardiovascular defect occurs when the heart or blood vessels near the heart don't develop normally before birth. Congenital heart defects are rather uncommon. In most cases we don't know what causes them. Don't feel it's your fault for having a child with this problem. Rarely a viral infection may produce serious problems. For example, if a mother gets the German measles (rubella) while she's pregnant, this may interfere with the baby's heart as it develops, or it may cause other malformations. Other viral diseases also may cause defects before birth. bodyOffer(23534) Heredity sometimes plays a role in congenital cardiovascular disease. More than one child in a family may have a congenital cardiovascular defect, but this rarely occurs. Certain conditions affecting multiple organs, such as Down's syndrome, can involve the heart, too. Some prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines, as well as alcohol and "street" drugs, may increase the risk of having a baby with a heart defect. Other factors that affect the heart's development are under study. Most heart defects either 1) obstruct blood flow in the heart or vessels near it or 2) cause blood to flow through the heart in an abnormal pattern. Rarely defects occur in which only one ventricle (single ventricle) is present, or both the pulmonary artery and aorta arise from the same ventricle (double outlet ventricle). A third rare defect occurs when the right or left side of the heart is incompletely formed hypoplastic heart. The different types of defects are discussed below.

All full professional staff pediatric heart surgeons who treat congenital defects are board-certified in cardiothoracic surgery or have the international equivalent. Board certification or its international equivalent became a requirement at The Cleveland Clinic in 1989 for physicians appointed to the full professional staff. However, in the complex area of pediatric heart surgery, board certification is considered a minimum requirement at The Cleveland Clinic. Surgeons in the Center for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Diseases also have many years of experience and have performed hundreds of open heart surgeries to correct congenital heart problems.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a broad term that can describe a number of different abnormalities affecting the heart. Congenital heart disease is, by definition, present at birth although its effects may not be obvious immediately. In some cases, such as coarctation of the aorta , it may not present itself for many years and a few lesions such as a small ventricular septal defect VSD ) may never cause any problems and are compatible with normal physical activity and a normal life span. According to the American Heart Association, approximately 35,000 babies are born each year with some type of congenital heart defect. Congenital heart disease is responsible for more deaths in the first year of life than any other birth defects. Many of these defects need to be followed carefully; though some heal over time, others will require treatment

The two upper chambers of the heart are called the right and left atrium. They are separated by a "wall" , called the ATRIAL SEPTUM. Sometimes, this "wall" is not complete. There is a HOLE in it. This hole is called an Atrial Septal Defect - or ASD , in short ! ASD's may be large or small, single or multiple. The heart may be normal in all other ways, or there may be other defects too. http://www.bharatonline.com/heart/htcod6.html What is a Ventricular Septal Defect? I have discussed atrial septal defects before. Well, ventricular septal defects - also called VSD - are similar. A VSD is a "hole" in the wall between the two lower chambers of the heart - the ventricle s . This hole may be small, medium-sized or large, and may be single or multiple. It may occur in different parts of the wall, and may sometimes be found along with other heart defects. http://www.bharatonline.com/heart/htcod7.html
