Why are most cases of CHD not a problem before birth? ... Congenital Heart Disease At A Glance What is congenital heart disease (CHD)? Congenital heart disease (CHD) is malformation of the heart or the large blood vessels near the heart. "Congenital" speaks only to time, not to causation. It means "born with" or "present at birth." Alternative names for CHD include: congenital heart defect, congenital heart malformation, congenital cardiovascular disease, congenital cardiovascular defect, and congenital cardiovascular malformation. How common is congenital heart disease? Congenital heart disease is the most frequent form of major birth defects in newborns affecting close to 1% of newborn babies (8 per 1,000). This figure is an underestimate since it does not include some common problems, namely: Patent ductus arteriosus in preterm babies (a temporary condition) Bicuspid (two cusps) aortic valve (the aortic valve usually has three cusps or flaps) Mitral valve prolapse (drooping of a heart valve) Peripheral pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of the lung vessels well away from the heart) Congenital Heart Disease Center Next Next: When is the diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) usually made? >>

46. Congenital Heart Disease The Adult congenital heart disease Program is directed by Dr. Marlon S. Rosenbaum,a cardiologist trained in both adult and pediatric heart disease. http://congenitalheart.hs.columbia.edu/

Successful cardiac surgery in infants and children during the 1960s and 1970s has resulted in a rapidly growing population of adults with congenital heart disease. Some of these patients have cardiac problems which are not typically seen by adult cardiologists. The Joan And Michael Schneeweiss Center for Adult Congenital Heart Disease at New York Presbyterian Hospital was developed to serve the unique needs of this population. Highly specialized care is provided by a team of physicians specifically interested in the problems of adults with congenital heart disease. The Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program is directed by Dr. Marlon S. Rosenbaum, a cardiologist trained in both adult and pediatric heart disease. The Program is a vital resource for patients with both newly diagnosed congenital heart disease and those who had cardiac surgery earlier in life. Diagnostic studies such as echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and cardiac catheterization are performed by physicians knowledgeable about adult congenital heart disease. Our cardiac MRI facility has state of the art software which permits rapid acquisition of images and provides highly detailed anatomic information. Cardiopulmonary stress testing is performed by an exercise physiologist with extensive experience in exercise and congenital heart disease. The cardiac surgical program at the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center is led by Dr. Jan Quaegebeur and Dr. Ralph Mosca. Our surgeons have had extensive experience in the repair of many different forms of congenital heart disease, including D-transposition of the great arteries, single ventricle, Ebstein's anomaly and aortic valve disease using the Ross procedure.

TRIPLETT, M.D. University of Mississippi Medical Center Jackson, Mississippi A patient information handout on congenital heart disease, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1867. T he reported incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is eight cases per 1,000 live births. Family physicians must know how to screen for cardiac defects in infants, how to stabilize infants with these problems and how to manage their problems in teamwork with a pediatric cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon. As patient advocates, we also must be prepared to help the parents and other family members cope with the psychosocial aspects of chronic disease in a child. Diagnosis Studies suggest that 30 to 60 percent of congenital heart defects can be detected prenatally by four-chamber screening. High-resolution four-chamber transvaginal echocardiography can provide detailed imaging of the cardiac anatomy in the fetus and can detect major abnormalities
