Congenital heart disease is the most common type of birth defect, affecting around 1 in 1000 live births. It involves defects in the structure or function of the heart present at birth. Common types include ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of the great arteries. Causes may be genetic factors, environmental exposures during pregnancy, or both. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and surgical planning, with modalities like echocardiography, CT, MRI, and angiography used to characterize the anatomy and assess blood flow patterns through the heart. Treatment depends on the specific defects but may involve cardiac catheterization, balloon angioplast
1) Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are defined as morphological features found in less than 1% of the population. They can be classified based on origin, course, termination, or hemodynamic significance.
2) Some important CAAs include anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the opposite sinus (ACAOS), and coronary artery fistulas.
3) ALCAPA causes retrograde flow of blood from the right coronary artery to the pulmonary artery. ACAOS, especially when the ectopic artery takes an interarterial course, can cause ischemia. Coronary artery fistulas can lead to complications like aneurysm formation

This document discusses fetal echocardiography and provides information on various congenital heart diseases that can be detected during fetal ultrasound exams. It begins with an introduction on why fetal heart exams are important and then covers imaging techniques such as the four chamber view. Various congenital heart defects are described in detail, including atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, atrioventricular septal defects, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. For each condition, the document discusses incidence rates, sonographic criteria for diagnosis, and clinical prognosis.
1) Aortic dissection is a tear in the inner layer of the aorta that allows blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall, creating a false passageway. It was first documented in King George II of England in 1760.
2) Symptoms include a sudden, severe chest pain that can radiate to the back. Diagnosis is often challenging, but can be made through imaging like CT, MRI, or TEE ultrasound.
3) Type A dissections involving the ascending aorta require emergency surgery, while Type B dissections of the descending aorta can sometimes be treated medically to reduce blood pressure. Without treatment, mortality is high within the first few weeks.
The document discusses acute aortic dissection, which occurs when blood tears the inner layer of the aorta, dissecting blood into the vessel wall. It affects males more than females in their 60s and can be life-threatening. Presentation includes sudden tearing chest pain but may be atypical. Diagnosis involves CT angiography, while type A dissections require emergency surgery and type B may be managed medically or with endovascular repair. Treatment focuses on controlling heart rate, blood pressure, and pain to prevent further dissection.
This document provides an overview of valvular heart disease, focusing on aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation. It defines valvular heart disease as any condition affecting the heart valves. Aortic stenosis and its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options like surgical replacement and transcatheter aortic valve replacement are described in detail. Mitral regurgitation, its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and potential treatments including surgery, mitral valve repair/replacement, and the new MitraClip procedure are also summarized. The document concludes by describing the multidisciplinary Heart Valve Clinic at Via Christi Hospitals for evaluating and treating patients.
Congenital heart diseases are serious, common birth defects that affect approximately 8 in 1,000 live births in the United States. The most common types seen in children are ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus. Treatment options depend on the type and severity of the defect, ranging from observation for mild defects to surgical repair or replacement of heart valves. Prognosis has improved due to advances in surgical techniques and post-operative care.
This document discusses congenital cardiovascular anomalies, specifically atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects. It provides information on the incidence, causes, classifications, clinical presentations, investigations, and management of these conditions. The key points are that atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects are the most common congenital heart diseases, accounting for around 30-35% of cases. They typically present with no cyanosis but can cause heart failure if left untreated. Echocardiography is the main investigation used to diagnose them. Small atrial septal defects may close spontaneously while larger defects usually require surgical closure.

This document discusses the management of critical congenital heart disease in newborns. It describes how prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) is used to maintain ductal patency until definitive treatment. PGE1 is started as a continuous IV infusion at a low dose and titrated to safely establish an open ductus arteriosus. This improves oxygen saturation while definitive diagnosis and treatment are determined. Potential side effects include apnea, hypotension, and hyperthermia, requiring close monitoring during PGE1 infusion. PGE1 therapy is currently standard care for ductal-dependent congenital heart defects until palliative or corrective surgery can be performed.
A 38-year-old female presented to the emergency room with severe headache, shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion, nausea and palpitations. She has a history of hypertension and was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction one week ago. Evaluation showed signs of cardiogenic shock. The plan is to perform ECG, CT scan, echocardiogram, cardiac enzymes, blood gas analysis and V/Q scan. The learning goals are to discuss cardiogenic shock, its causes, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment.
This document discusses valvular heart disease, focusing on aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and mitral regurgitation. It covers the etiology, pathophysiology, presentation, evaluation, and management of each condition. For aortic and mitral stenosis, the goals are to recognize symptoms of severe disease and identify patients who need valve replacement. For regurgitant lesions, treatment focuses on supporting cardiac function medically until symptoms appear or structural deterioration occurs, then referring for surgical intervention. Echocardiography plays a key role in diagnosing severity and monitoring progression.
A 33-year-old man presented to the emergency department after collapsing. His ECG showed Brugada pattern, which is characterized by ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V3 and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Brugada syndrome is a genetic condition caused by sodium channel mutations and commonly presents with syncope or cardiac arrest in young males. The diagnosis can be confirmed with ajmaline/flecainide provocation test showing transient Brugada pattern. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for high-risk patients.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is an abnormal opening in the wall separating the left and right atria of the heart. There are several types of ASDs including secundum, ostium primum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects. ASDs are usually diagnosed through echocardiography which can determine the size and location of the defect. Small, asymptomatic ASDs may not require treatment, but larger defects with evidence of right heart strain often warrant closure either through open heart surgery or a nonsurgical approach using an implantable device delivered through catheters. Both methods effectively close the defect to prevent long-term complications like heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is an abnormal opening in the wall separating the left and right atria of the heart. There are several types of ASDs. Secundum ASDs, which occur in the fossa ovalis, account for 75% of cases. ASDs are usually diagnosed with echocardiography. Small, asymptomatic ASDs may not require treatment, but larger defects can cause heart failure and pulmonary hypertension if left untreated. Larger ASDs are often closed either surgically or non-surgically using devices delivered through catheters. Both methods are generally effective though surgery carries risks of complications.
This document provides an overview of aortic dissection, including:
- King George II's death in 1760 which was one of the first documented cases.
- The first successful surgical repair was performed by DeBakey in 1955.
- It involves a tear in the inner layer of the aorta that allows blood to enter and force open the middle layer.
- Presentation includes sudden, severe chest pain that may radiate to the back. Early mortality can be as high as 5% per hour without treatment.
- Risk factors include hypertension, connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, and aortic abnormalities.
- Diagnosis involves features like widened mediastinum on C
1) A 38-year old hypertensive smoker presented with severe central chest pain and was diagnosed with acute aortic dissection.
2) Aortic dissection occurs when a tear in the inner layer of the aorta allows blood to enter and force the layers apart, creating a false lumen. If untreated, mortality is as high as 50% within a week.
3) Diagnosis is made through imaging like CT, MRI, TTE or TEE which can detect the intimal flap separating the true and false lumens. Management involves controlling blood pressure, heart rate and pain to prevent progression while emergent surgery is needed for Type A dissections involving the ascending aorta.
