Inntroduction
Results in blood flow (hemodynamic) changes, which eventuallyaffect the heart, bld vessels and other organs.
FETAL CIRCULATION Fetal lungs are non-functional in utero; Fetal O2 depends on
placental circulation. Bld from I.V.C returns to the R.A straight thru the L.A via
foramen ovale. Then to the L.V from where it is pumped mainly to the vessels of
the head & forelimbs. Bld from the S.V.C, mainly deoxygenated, returns to R.V thru
the R.A, then to the pulmonary artery, and eventually to the
aorta via the ductus arteriosus. Only 12% of fetal blood circulates thru the lungs Deoxygenated bld from the aorta circulates to the umbilical
arteries, where it is eventually oxygenated.
I.V.C = Inferior Vena Cava
S.V.C = Superior Vena Cava 2

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE
(CHD) Genetic and environmental factors Increased risk in the followings:
Maternal factors
1. diabetes mellitus (DM), phenylketonuria (PKU)2. medication, alcohol or drug use3. infection (e.g. rubella, cytomegalovirus (CMV)) Infant factors
1. prematurity (e.g. patent ductus arteriosus (PDA))2. chromosomal abnormalities (e.g. Down syndrome -
AVSD)3. positive family history (2-4% risk)

CHDs are described according to the anatomical abNs
Non closure of the foramen ovale
Non closure of the ductus arteriosus
Communication btn the ventricles
Misplacement of the great vessels
Tissue oxygenation may also get compromised after birth.
This is the basis for classification as ACYANOTIC or
CYANOTIC.
NOTE: Even in acyanotic conditions, there may be cyanosis
as one clinical sign.

1. LEFT TO RIGHT SHUNT
LESIONS extra bld is displaced thru a
communication from the lft to the rt side ofthe heart, resulting in sed pulmonary bld
flow shunt volume dependent upon three
factors: size of defect, pressure gradient btnchambers or vessels, peripheral outflow
resistance untreated shunts can result in pulmonary
vascular disease, right ventricularhypertension (RVH), & revert to R to L shunts

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
An opening btn the Left and Right atria
Of three types
ostium primum ; ostium secundum ;sinus venosus
often asymptomatic in childhood murmur: often grade 2/6-3/6 pulmonic outflow murmur with
widely split and fixed S2
ECG: right axis deviation, mild RVH, Rt bundle branch block.
CXR: increased pulmonary vasculature
natural Hx: 80-100% spontaneous closure rate
if remains patent, CHF & pulm. hypertension can dvp later
Mx: elective surgical or catheter closure btn 2-5 years of age

Ventricular Septal Defect
(VSD)A communication btn the rt and lft ventricular compartments most common congenital heart defect (30-50%) small VSD (majority) asymptomatic, normal growth and development murmur: early systolic to holosystolic, best heard at left lower sternal border (LLSB) ECG and CXR are normal most close spontaneously without surgical intervention moderate to large VSD cause Lft to Rt shunt thus increasing pulmonary circuln When pulmonary hypertension occurs, the shunt reverses to a rt-to-lft
shunt(Eisenmenger syndrome) delayed growth and development, decreased exercise tolerance, recurrent URTIs or
"asthma" episodes, CHF murmur: holosystolic at LLSB with thrill, mid-diastolic rumble at apex ECG: left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), left atrial hypertrophy (LAH), RVH CXR: increased pulmonary vasculature, cardiomegaly, CHF natural history: secondary pulmonary hypertension, CHF by 2 months of age management: treatment of CHF; surgical closure

Patent Ductus Arteriosus(PDA)
Failure of the ductus arteriosus (btn descending aorta & pulmonary artery) to closewithin the 1st wks
Due to great press in the aorta, blood shunts to the pulmonary arteries thusoverloading the LFT atrium. The pulmonary resistance continues to increaese
common in premature infants (1/3 of infants < 1750 grams)
may be asymptomatic or have apneic or bradycardic spells, poor feeding, accessorymuscle use
Associated tachycardia, bounding pulses, hyperactive precordium, wide pulsepressure
murmur: continuous "machinery" murmur, in left infraclavicular area
ECG: may show LVH, RVH
CXR: normal to mildly enlarged heart, increased pulmonary vasculature
diagnosis by echocardiography (ECHO)
natural history: spontaneous closure common in premature infants, less common interm infants
management: indomethacin(a pg inhibitor), surgical ligation, or catheter closure
high risk of SBE, antibiotic prophylaxis required until 6 months after closure
SBE = subacute bacterial endocarditis 10

Endocardial Cushion Defect
(Atrioventricular (AV) Canal)
Endocardial cushions fails to grow, resulting in abnormalitiesin the septa i.e. separation btn atria & ventricles.
Since the endocardial cushion is where the tricuspid & mitralvalves grow, abnormalities in the formation of theatrioventricular valves also present.
commonly associated with Down syndrome natural history depends on size of defect and valvular
involvement may miimic changes seen in ASD or VSD & may result in
enlargement of all cardiac chambers Regurgitation of blood to the atria causing a systolic murmur surgical correction to close septal defects & repair valvular
defects before age 1 yr to prevent pulmonary complications

Coarctation of the Aorta
narrowing of aorta; commonly at the level of the ductus arteriosus causes higher pressures above the site or low press below it few have high BP in infancy (160-200 mmHg systolic) but this
decreases as collaterals develop
if severe, presents with shock in the neonatal period when theductus closes often asymptomatic with upper extremity systolic pressures of 140-
145 mm Hg weak pulses, sed bld pressure in lower extremities, radial-femoral
delay if associated with other lesions (e.g. PDA, VSD), can cause CHF ECG: RVH early in infancy, LVH later in childhood murmur: absent or systolic with late peak at apex, left axilla, left
back management: balloon arterioplasty or surgical correction complications: essential hypertension

Aortic Stenosis
Narrowing of the aortic valve or aortic outflow tract valvular (75%), subvalvular (20%), supravalvular and idiopathic
hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (IHSS) (5%)
Results in LVH & increaesed left atrial pressure
often asymptomatic but may be associated with CHF,exertional chest pain, syncope or sudden death
murmur: systolic ejection murmur (SEM) at upper rightsternal border (URSB) with aortic ejection click at the
apex management: surgical or balloon valvuloplasty, repeated
interventions and valve replacement may be necessary
SBE prophylaxis and exercise restriction required

Pulmonary Stenosis
narrowing of pulmonary outflow tract Thus rt ventricle may hypertrophy & eventually cause Rt atrium
hypertrophy. usually part of other congenital heart lesions (e.g. Tetralogy
of Fallot) or in association with other syndromes (e.g. congenitalrubella, Noonan syndrome)
critical pulmonic stenosis: inadequate pulmonary blood flow,dependent on ductus for oxygenation, progressive hypoxia andcyanosis
presentation varies from asymptomatic to CHF murmur: wide split S2 maximal on expiration, SEM at ULSB,
pulmonary ejection click ECG: RVH CXR: dilated post-stenotic pulmonary artery management: balloon valvuloplasty, surgical valvotomy

B.CYANOTIC CONGENITAL HEARTDISEASE
systemic venous return re-enters systemiccirculation directly
most prominent feature is cyanosis (O2 sat< 75%) differentiate between cardiac and othercauses of cyanosis with hyperoxic test (if
improvement of PaO2, less likely cardiaccause) survival depends on mixing via shunts (e.g.ASD, VSD, PDA)

1. LESIONS ASSOCIATED WITH
DECREASED PULMONARY BLOOD FLOW
Tetralogy of Fallot Common cyanotic heart defect beyond infancy consists of four defects
ventricular septal defect (VSD) right ventrical (RV) outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) overriding aorta right venticular hypertrophy (RVH)
infants may initially have a left to right shuntand therefore are not cyanotic but the RVOTO isprogressive, resulting in increasing right to leftshunting with hypoxemia and cyanosis.

hypoxic tet spells
primary pathophysiology is hypoxia, leading to increased pulmonary vascularresistance (PVR) and decreased systemic resistance, occurring in exertionalstates (e.g. crying, exercise)
paroxysm of rapid and deep breathing, irritability and crying hyperpnea, increasing cyanosis often leading to deep sleep and decreased
intensity of murmur
peak incidence at 2-4 months of age if severe may lead to seizures, loss of consciousness (LOC), death (rare) management: O2, knee-chest position, fluid bolus, morphine sulfate,
propanolol
murmur: single loud S2 due to severe pulmonic stenosis ECG: right axis deviation, RVH CXR: boot shaped heart, decreased pulmonary vasculature,
right aortic arch management: surgical repair including closure of VSD and
widening of RVOTO

Transposition of the Great
Arteries (TGA)
Pulmonary artery becomes the outflow tract of Lft ventrilce & aorta for thert ventricle.
Bld from the L.V repeatedly circulates into pulmonary circulation. Oxygenatedbld does not reach the systemic circulation.
newborn presents with progressive cyanosis unresponsive to O2 therapy as the
ductus arteriosus closes and mixing between the two circulations diminishes;severe hypoxemia, acidosis, and death can occur rapidly if VSD present, cyanosis is not prominent, infant presents with CHF after a
few weeks of life murmur: none if no VSD ECG: RAD, RVH CXR: egg-shaped heart with narrow mediastinum ("egg on a string") management
prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) infusion to keep ductus open until septotomy or surgery balloon atrial septostomy with catheter surgical correction: arterial switch procedure
infants without VSD must be repaired within 2 weeks to avoid weak LV muscle

(atrioventricular (AV) node most common site) characterized by a rate of greater than 210 bpm
treatment: vagal maneuver, adenosine, digoxin (exceptin Wolfe-Parkinson-White (WPW)) or B-blockers Complete Heart Block congenital heart block can be caused by maternal Rho
antibody formed in mothers with CVD clinical symptoms related to level of block
the lower the block, the greater the symptoms ofinadequate cardiac output (CO)
symptomatic patients need a pacemaker
