Congenital Heart Disease Vol.1 No.6 by Joshua A. Copel, M.D. Director of Maternal and Fetal Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology The Yale University School of Medicine Congenital heart disease is one of the most common congenital anomalies. Overall approximately 3% of newborns are found to have some major congenital anomaly, and about one in 6 of these have congenital heart disease. Looked at another way, about 30,000 infants die annually in the US between 5 months pregnancy and one year after birth. One in five die because of congenital anomalies, and one third of these are cardiovascular abnormalities. Newborns with congenital heart disease usually look pretty similar to unaffected newborns for the first few hours after birth. Before birth the heart is specially adapted for intrauterine life. The fetus does not breathe inside the womb, rather the placenta does the breathing work for the fetus. Normally there are connections between the right and left sided receiving chambers of the heart (the atria), and between the two main arteries that leave the heart, the aorta to the body and the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Newborns with many types of severe heart problems do well until these normal connections begin their normal process of closing. At that point, fetuses with absence of one of the normal pumping chambers, the ventricles, for example, will begin to show the abnormal coloration or labored breathing that are often the first signs of cardiac abnormalities. These signs are similar to those seen in newborns with infections and some other problems, so it may take a couple of hours for the recognition that a heart problem is present. Especially in these days of early hospital discharges for apparently healthy moms and babies, problems may not arise until the child has been brought home. For new parents of a first child, even recognizing that there is a problem can take a while.

Dr. Moeller comes to Mesa after completing a year-long internship at Animal Referral and Emergency Center of Arizona, where she focused on small animal medicine and surgery. WE HAVE A WINNER! The winner of our Senior Pet Challenge contest is Lesilie Peterson of Chandler, Arizona. Lesilie owns a senior dog and cats. She'll receive 100 pounds of Hill's Science Diet Dog Food. The winner was selected from the correct entries received. Congratulations Lesilie! Congenital Heart Disease 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. This can be an “innocent” murmur which usually disappears by about four months of age. Nevertheless, murmurs associated with heart disease may get louder or persist with the same intensity. Differentiating between an “innocent” murmur and a murmur associated with heart disease is important not only for breeding dogs, but also for working dogs and pets as well. 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.

Prematurity Quick Reference and Fact Sheets Congenital Heart Defects More than 32,000 infants (one out of every 125 to 150) are born with heart defects each year in the United States. The defect may be so slight that the baby appears healthy for many years after birth, or so severe that its life is in immediate danger. Heart defects are among the most common birth defects, and are the leading cause of birth defect-related deaths. However, advances in diagnosis and surgical treatment over the past 40 years have led to dramatic increases in survival for children with serious heart defects. Between 1987 and 1997, the death rates from congenital heart defects dropped 23 percent. What is a congenital heart defect? A condition is called congenital when it is present at birth. Heart defects originate in the early part of pregnancy when the heart is forming. Congenital heart defects can affect any of the different parts or functions of the heart. How does the heart work?

WHY CHOOSE UVA Search This Site Factors Contributing to Congenital Heart Disease What causes congenital heart disease? A congenital heart defect (CHD) is a heart problem which is present at birth, caused by improper development of the heart during fetal development. In the majority of the instances when a baby is born with congenital heart disease, there is no known reason for the heart to have formed improperly. Scientists know that some types of congenital heart defects can be related to an abnormality of an infant's chromosomes (5 to 6 percent), single gene defects (3 to 5 percent), or environmental factors (2 percent). In 85 to 90 percent of cases, there is no identifiable cause for the heart defect, and they are generally considered to be caused by multifactorial inheritance.

Caring for the Infant and Child with Congenital Heart Disease Find Your Way Child and Adolescent Health Topics A-Z Your Child Development ... What if I have questions? What is Congenital Heart Disease? Congenital Heart Disease is a term used to describe heart defects that develop before birth. These defects result from a failure of the heart or the blood vessels near the heart to develop normally. Approximately one in 100 infants is born with a heart defect. In some cases, heredity, alcohol consumption or other drug intake during pregnancy, or an infection during pregnancy increase the incidence of heart defects. However, in most cases, the cause of the heart defect is not known. How is it diagnosed? There are many different types of heart defects and no two are exactly alike. Some defects are diagnosed before birth while others are not detected until birth or weeks or years after birth. If your primary physician suspects that your child has a congenital heart defect, he or she will most likely refer your child to a pediatric cardiologist for a specialized evaluation. In addition to providing a thorough physical examination, your child's cardiologist will use diagnostic tests such as electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, chest x-ray or cardiac catheterization to determine the type and severity of your child's heart defect.

Prevention Congenital heart disease Definition: Congenital heart diseases are abnormalities of the heart's structure and function caused by abnormal or disordered heart development before birth. 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 Some congenital heart diseases can be treated with medication alone, while others require one or more surgeries. The risk of death from congenital heart disease surgery has dropped from approximately 30% in the 1970s to less than 5% in most cases today.

The term "congenital" speaks only to time, not to causation; it means "born with" or "present at birth." 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) There are a great many types of congenital heart disease. Here is an outline of the major categories of congenital heart disease and some of the more prominent entities within those categories. Detour defects within the heart: Defects may cause blood to take an abnormal route through the heart, passing directly between the right and left sides of the heart. This occurs when there is a defect in the wall (the septum) that normally separates the right and left sides of the heart. There is "a hole in the heart." The two most common types of septal defect are:
