Additionally, images are used from the ACR "Pediatrics II" CD-ROM and others . This information is provided for educational interest, and no profit is made from its use, or should be made by others from it. If any legal eagles surf by this and object, I'll kindly remove it, and wish I had their hours [to waste]. Plain film interpretation of CHD Frontal (AP in neonates and infants, PA in older children) and lateral views comprise the typical evaluation for suspected or known CHD. Oblique views are rarely obtained any more. The "cardiac series" (frontal, lateral, both oblique view with barium in the esophagus) is obsolete. There are several important physiologic considerations in CHD that you should be familiar with. Left to Right shunting (L->R) results when an intracardiac or extracardiac communication between the two sides of the heart persists after birth and left-sided pressures exceed right-sided pressures (the typical situation). Oxygenated blood is recirculated through the lungs and the patient will be acyanotic. The chest radiograph will typically demonstrate, when the shunt exceeds 2.5:1 (main PA diam: aortic diam by cath or MR, >2:1 required before surgery considered), increased pulmonary blood flow, prominence of the main pulmonary artery (MPA), AND cardiac chamber enlargement that is determined by the type of lesion [ASD=enlarged RA and RV, VSD=enlarged RV,LV, LA].

search tips Heart Disease Congenital Heart Defects Format for Printing Congenital heart diseases are defects, malformations, or developmental problems present since birth. Many defects occur before birth during cardiac development. Approximately 1% of patients are born with congenital defects, making heart defects the most common form of congenital defect seen at birth. Main Menu: Overview of Congenital Heart Defects Types of Congenital Heart Defects Risk Factors for Congenital Heart Defects Diagnosing Congenital Heart Defects ... Rehabiliation for Patients with Congenital Heart Defects Overview of Congenital Heart Defects Most patients with congenital heart disease have valvular involvement. However, patients can also develop valvular disorders that are not congenital. For example, valvular stenosis may either by congenital or non-congenital (as a result of atherosclerosis, when calcium deposits cause arteries to narrow). Myxomatous degeneration, weakening of a valve that leads to valvular regurgitation (leakage), can also be acquired and is most common in elderly patients. Hypertension, congestive heart failure , endocarditis (heart inflammation), and rheumatic fever may also contribute to non-congenital valve disorders.

Congenital Heart Disease by Dr. Jennifer McKinnis, DVM It is important to have your new puppy or kitten examined by a veterinarian at a young age because most congenital heart diseases are accompanied by an audible murmur. Nevertheless, murmurs associated with heart disease may get louder or persist with the same intensity. To diagnose a congenital heart defect, your veterinarian may choose to take x-rays of the chest, ultrasound the heart or connect an EKG to the patient. The most common congenital cardiovascular anomaly of dogs is patent ductus arteriosus or PDA. The most ideal treatment for this condition is surgery. In most cases surgery is successful and well tolerated. Other cardiac anomalies include, but are not limited to, pulmonic stenosis, ventricular septal defect, subaortic stenosis and mitral dysplasia. Although some defects can not be easily fixed, it is important to diagnose these conditions and be aware of them at an early age.

Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel-Aviv University, Israel. GeneDis Website for Congenital Heart Disease Congenital Heart Disease is a human genetic disease caused due to mutations in the CSX gene. The GeneDis web site for Congenital Heart Disease includes the wild type primary sequences of the CSX gene and protein. Known mutations are incorporated in the gene and in the protein sequences using hyperlinks. Users can compare CSX DNA or protein sequences to the wild type hyperlinked sequences present in GeneDis. The pairwise alignment output retains the hyperlinks, which enable the user to browse through the Congenital Heart Disease mutation table. The mutation table shows the location of the mutation on the cDNA, genomic DNA and protein sequences, the number of exon or intron, the severity of the disease associated with the mutation and a reference in which the mutation was first described. Go to "Search the Congenital Heart Disease Database with your primary DNA or protein sequence" Go to "GeneDis Homepage" Disease description Cardiac septation is a critical morphogenetic process in which the primordial single atrium and ventricle are partitioned into four chambers. Mistakes in this process occur commonly in humans; 1 in 1500 live births have an atrial septal defect (ASD) (

Marfan's Disease Echo studies Comments Marfan's syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited abnormality which has been localized to a mutation in Chromosome 15. Cardiovascular features include mitral valve prolapse, mitral regurgitation, aortic insufficiency, and aortic root dilation which can progress or be complicated by dissection. The mean age for cardio- vascular events is 32 years. Small retrospective studies suggest an increased risk of aortic dissection in women with Marfan's syndrome who become pregnant. In women with preconception aortic dilation, greater risk is due to the changes of cardiac output and plasma volume that occur by the 6th week of pregnancy and the increased stress during labor. Vaginal delivery is acceptable in patients with Marfan's and epidural anesthesia may be helpful in lowering the blood pressure at delivery. However if the aortic root is greater than 4 cm a cesarean section should be considered. More... SHORTCUTS : See the Contents page for complete listing of all pages and topics.
