Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect, and occur in about 1% of all live births. Understanding the Heart A specific cause for congenital heart disease is unknown, but research has established several potential contributors to heart defects, including: Heredity - Sometimes, but rarely, the defect is genetic.

Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed What exactly is congenital heart disease? Isn't it a condition you are born with? That is correct. The word congenital means born with, and this is different than the more common heart diseases that people acquire sometime after birth either from infection, coronary artery disease, trauma, and other problems. Does congenital heart disease last a lifetime? Yes, it does. The congenital heart problem is always there although it can often be made much better as a result of surgery or treatment with a catheter-based therapy. Many children born with heart problems live to be active, normally functioning adults, and there are some heart conditions that people are born with that are so well tolerated that sometimes they are not even discovered until the person is a young adult or even elderly. What are the treatment options for congenital heart disease for a child and an adult?

Extractions: University of California, San Francisco About UCSF Search Welcome Hospitals and Clinics Appointments Billing ... Other Resources Congenital Heart Disease Print Format Children born with heart defects from throughout the West come to UCSF Children's Hospital for treatment because of our three decades of expertise in discovering the basis of inborn heart ailments and offering the best available diagnosis and treatments for these disorders. The American Heart Association estimates at least 8 out of every 1,000 infants born each year have heart defects. Many of these defects are minor and some don't cause problems until adulthood. Others are serious conditions that require the surgical expertise found at regional pediatric heart centers like UCSF Children's Hospital. Congenital heart defects are much different from the acquired heart disease that strikes adults. They require advanced techniques and knowledge to diagnose and coordinate treatments tailored for each child's unique condition. Increasingly, repairs begin with newborns so that the growing child doesn't develop further problems to compensate for a defective heart. Repairs may involve both open-heart surgery and less invasive procedures. Our congenital heart disease program is among the most expert in the nation in repair of complex defects in newborn and infant hearts, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Our Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Center is a leader in diagnosing and repairing heart problems, using miniature instruments to open blood vessels and close holes in tiny hearts. Our pediatric electrophysiology program was the first in the world to use minimally invasive techniques to treat and often cure heart rhythm disorders.

Extractions: Treatment Signs and Symptoms Aortic stenosis is when the valve between the heart and aorta is deformed and too narrow to allow healthy blood flow. The aorta is the blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to branch arteries throughout the body. The valves in the heart are like little one-way doors that allow blood to flow in the appropriate direction. A healthy aortic valve is made up of three flaps called leaflets that open and close together. When oxygenated blood leaves the lungs, it goes into the left side of the heart and exits into the aorta. When the aortic valve is deformed, blood may "back-up" into the heart and lungs. Aortic stenosis can be a congenital condition although it also can be caused by other conditions. At one time, it often was associated with childhood rheumatic fever, which has become less common. There are three types of aortic stenosis: Valvar, in which the valve opening has only one or two leaflets

http://www.lpch.org/DiseaseHealthInfo/HealthLibrary/cardiac/chd.html

Extractions: A baby's heart begins to develop at conception, but is completely formed by eight weeks into the pregnancy. Congenital heart defects happen during this crucial first eight weeks of the baby's development. Specific steps must take place in order for the heart to form correctly. Often, congenital heart defects are a result of one of these crucial steps not happening at the right time, leaving a hole where a dividing wall should have formed, or a single blood vessel where two ought to be, for example.

Extractions: Two Hearts are Better than One for Toddler at Lucile Packard Childrenâs Hospital at Stanford Factors Contributing to 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.

Extractions: 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 multiple surgical interventions. There has been significant improvement in the risk of death from congenital heart disease surgery, from approximately 30% in the 1960s and 1970s to approximately 5% today.

Extractions: Congenital heart disease occurs when the heart or blood vessels near the heart do not develop properly before birth. About eight out of every 1,000 newborns have congenital heart disease, which is the most frequent congenital malformation. About half of these cases require medical treatment. More than 500,000 patients with congenital heart disease in the United States have reached adulthood. Some of these had mild types of congenital heart disease, but most needed surgery in order to survive. Patients who had surgery are likely to experience other cardiac problems later in life. Congenital heart disease is also called congenital heart defect. Most types of congenital heart disease obstruct the flow of blood in the heart or the vessels near it, or cause an abnormal flow of blood through the heart. Rarer types of congenital heart disease occur when the newborn has only one ventricle, when the pulmonary artery and the aorta come out of the same ventricle, or when one side of the heart is not completely formed.

Within the last two decades, rapid advances in health care provision have been made in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.1 An example of this remarkable progress is the provision of excellent surgical care facilities for children with congenital heart disease (CHD), such that cardiac surgery is now a routine event in designated centers in the Kingdom. A complete medical examination, which is a prerequisite for cardiac surgery, entails the detection and evaluation of any associated non-cardiac defects (NCD). In this regard, a knowledge of the general incidence and types of such NCD in a particular region would be useful since it could serve as a guide during the preoperative assessment of individual patients. We have therefore studied the NCD in Saudi children who presented to us with CHD and report our findings. Incidence Of the 320 children with CHD, 80 (25%) had associated NCD. These 80 comprised 41 males and 39 females, and their mean age at diagnosis (17.4

Extractions: What is an Atrial Septal Defect ? The two upper chambers of the heart are called the right and left atrium. They are separated by a "wall" , called the ATRIAL SEPTUM. Sometimes, this "wall" is not complete. There is a HOLE in it. This hole is called an Atrial Septal Defect - or ASD , in short ! ASD's may be large or small, single or multiple. The heart may be normal in all other ways, or there may be other defects too. http://www.bharatonline.com/heart/htcod6.html What is a Ventricular Septal Defect? I have discussed atrial septal defects before. Well, ventricular septal defects - also called VSD - are similar. A VSD is a "hole" in the wall between the two lower chambers of the heart - the ventricle s . This hole may be small, medium-sized or large, and may be single or multiple. It may occur in different parts of the wall, and may sometimes be found along with other heart defects. http://www.bharatonline.com/heart/htcod7.html

Dictionary Treating the Heart, Blood Vessels and Circulation Congenital Valve Defects in Adults As blood leaves each chamber of the heart, it passes through a valve . There are four valves in your heart. They make sure that blood flows in only one direction through your heart. Congenital valve defects are valves not formed correctly before birth. Valves may be the wrong size, have malformed leaflets or have leaflets that are not attached to the annulus correctly. This most often affects the aortic or pulmonic valve. Bicuspid aortic valve Bicuspid aortic valve: has only 2 leaflets (cusps) This is the most common type of congenital valve disease, but only occurs in about two out of 100 births. Instead of the normal three leaflets or cusps, the bicuspid aortic valve has only two. Without the third leaflet: Eighty-five percent of children with congenital aortic stenosis have a bicuspid aortic valve.
