An article on this topic is available in this issue of AFP What is congenital heart disease? A congenital heart disease is one that a baby is born with. Did I do something during pregnancy that made my baby have this problem? Probably not. Some things that happen in pregnancy can lead to a congenital heart problem in a baby, but often the reason for the heart disease is not known. Talk with your family doctor if you're worried that you caused your baby's heart problem, but don't blame yourself. I felt depressed when I found out my baby has a heart problem. Is that normal? Yes. Feeling angry, guilty or depressed is normal. Knowing that your baby has a heart problem is stressful. When you first found out about your baby's problem, you may have been in shock.

Patent ductus arteriosis (PDA) - series Definition Return to top 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 Return to top 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

Extractions: There is further evidence of a genetic contribution in that parents who have had one child with a congenital heart abnormality have an increased risk of their next children having some sort of congenital heart abnormality as well. The risk is increased from the 1 in a thousand range to 1 in twenty. (Remember, that means a 19 in 20 chance of having a child without the abnormality). The risk may be higher in occasional families with certain forms of congenital disease which are passed down frequently to children.

http://www.tmc.edu/thi/congenit.html

Extractions: (En español) Congenital heart defects are heart problems present at birth. They happen when the heart does not develop normally before birth. About 8 out of every 1,000 infants are born with one or more heart or circulatory problems. Doctors usually do not know the cause of congenital heart defects, but they do know of some conditions that increase a child's risk of being born with a heart defect. They include Congenital heart disease in the baby's mother or father.

http://www.tmc.edu/thi/ebstein.html

Extractions: (En español) Ebstein's anomaly is a defect that mainly affects the tricuspid valve. The tricuspid valve is the valve that controls blood flow between the heart's upper-right chamber (the right atrium) and lower-right chamber (the right ventricle). In Ebstein's anomaly, the tricuspid valve is located lower than normal, so the upper part of the right ventricle is part of the right atrium. This means that the right ventricle is too small and the right atrium is too large. Besides being too low, the tricuspid valve may not be formed correctly. Heart valves are made up of flaps called leaflets. When the leaflets are normal, they act like doors, which control blood flow by opening and closing. But in Ebstein's anomaly, abnormal leaflets may let blood leak back into the atrium after it has flowed into the ventricle. This backward flow of blood makes the atrium even larger and the ventricle even smaller.
