Congenital Heart Disease
• Failure of normal cardiac development which present at birth
• In 8 per 1000 live born infants have significant cardiac malformation

Atrial Septal Defect
• Represent 10% of all CHD• Classification :– Secundum (80%)• Defect in the center of the atrial septum involving
foramen ovale
– Partial AVSD (20%)• Inter-atrial communication between the bottom end of
the atrial septum and the atrioventricular valves• Abnormal AV valves, with left AV valve which has three
leaflets and tend to leak (regurgitation valve)
![Page 8: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Ventricular Septal Defects
• Accounting for 30% of all cases of CHD• Defect anywhere in the ventricular septum,
perimembranous (adjacent to the tricuspid valve) or muscular (completely surrounded by muscle)
![Page 14: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Small VSD
• Smaller than aortic valve in diameter (3mm)• Clinical features– Symptoms• asymptomatic
– Physical signs• Loud pansystolic murmur at lower left sternal edge• Quiet pulmonary 2nd sound
![Page 15: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Investigation • Chest radiograph – Normal • ECG – Normal • Echocardiography – Anatomy of defects.
Management • Mostly close spontaneously. No murmur with
normal ECG on follow-up• Prevention of bacterial endocarditis by
maintaining good dental hygiene
![Page 16: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Large VSD

• Recurrent chest infections
– Physical signs• Tachypnea, tachycardia and enlarged liver from heart failure• Soft pansystolic murmur / no murmur• Apical mid-diastolic murmur• Loud pulmonary 2nd sound
![Page 17: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Investigation
• Chest radiography– Cardiomegaly– Enlarged pulmonary arteries– Increased pulmonary vascular markings– Pulmonary oedema
• ECG– Biventricular hypertrophy by 2 months old
• Echocardiography – Anatomy defects, pulmonary hypertension
![Page 18: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Management
• Drug therapy with diuretics combined with captopril
• Surgery was performed at 3- 6 months old in order to :– Manage heart failure and failure to thrive– Prevent permanent lung damage from pulmonary
hypertension and high blood pressure
![Page 20: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

![Page 21: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Persistent Ductus Arteriosus
• Ductus arteriosus connects the pulmonary artery to the descending aorta
• In infants it normally closes shortly after birth• In PDA, it has failed to close by 1 month after
expected date due to defect in constrictor mechanism of the duct
• In preterm infant, PDA is due to prematurity not from CHD
![Page 22: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Clinical features
• Continuous murmur beneath the left clavicle (pressure in aorta > pulmonary)
• Pulse pressure increased, causing a collapsing or bounding pulse
• When duct is large, there will be increased pulmonary blood flow with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension
![Page 23: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Investigation– Chest radiography and ECG usually normal, unless
it large– Can be identified by echocardiography
• Management – Closure with coil or occlusion device introduced
via a catheter at 1 year old.

CYANOTIC HEART DISEASE
•Bluish colour due to lack of oxygen in the body• Peripheral (finger, toes)• Central (mucosae)
•Right to left shunt
Example of heart disease :•Tetralogy of Fallot – 5%•Transposition of great arteries – 5%
![Page 26: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
• Most common cyanotic CHD
• Consist of 4 structural defects:– Overriding of the aorta– Ventricular septal defect (VSD)– Pulmonary stenosis– Right ventricle hypertrophy
![Page 27: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

INVESTIGATION
![Page 31: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ECG
![Page 32: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
MANAGEMENT
• Definitive surgery at around 6-9 months of age• Infant who very cyanosed in the neonatal
period required a shunt to increase pulmonary blood flow– Placement of an artificial tube between the
subclavian artery and pulmonary artery, or– Balloon dilatation of the right ventricular outflow
tract
![Page 33: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Hypercyanotic spell are usually self-limiting
• If prolonged:– Sedation and pain relief is needed (morphine is
excellent)– IV propanolol (or α adenoreceptor agonist) – IV volume administration– Bicarbonate to correct acidosis– Muscle paralysis and artificial ventilation in order to
reduce metabolic oxygen demand
![Page 34: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
TRANSPOSITION OF THE GREAT ARTERIES
Aorta arises from the right ventricles and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle
Desaturated blood returning to the right side of the heart is being pumped out to the body while well-oxygenated blood returning from the lungs enters the left side of the heart and is pumped back to the lungs
Mixing can occur at the atrial (ASD/paten foramen ovale/VSD/PDA) level
![Page 35: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

SYMPTOMS
• Neonatal cyanosis• Cyanosis is less severe if more mixing of blood
occur from associated anomalies
![Page 37: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
PHYSICAL SIGNS
Cyanosis is always present
Second heart sound is often loud and single No murmur

MANAGEMENT
• In the sick cyanosed neonate, the key is to improve mixing of blood
• Maintaining the patency of the ductus arteriosus with a prostaglandin is mandatory
• A balloon atrial septostomy may be life-saving procedure which may need to performed in 20% of those with transposition of the great arteries

OUTFLOW OBSTRUCTION IN THE WELL CHILD
AORTIC STENOSIS• Aortic valve leaflets are partly fused together
giving restrictive exit from the left ventricle• Often associated with mitral valve stenosis
and coarctation of the aorta.

Acute rheumatic fever• Is an acute immunologically mediated, multisystem
inflammatory that follows an episode of group A streptococcal pharyngitis (GAS) after an interval of a few weeks.
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD)• The most serious complications of acute rheumatic fever
and is the end results of carditis, which affects 30% to 45% of patients with acute rheumatic fever.
Rheumatic fever
![Page 60: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
• Outbreaks of streptococcal pharyngitis are followed by cases of rheumatic fever.
• Acute rheumatic fever remains an important preventable cause of cardiac disease .
• 50% , if there is a past history of rheumatic fever ( thus secondary prophylaxis is needed )
• Peak incidence 5 to 15 years ; more common females• A family history of rheumatic fever and lower socio
economic status are additional factors.
Epidemiology
![Page 61: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Body produce antibody against group A streptococcal (GAS) that cause pharyngitis.
- Hyaluronic acid in GAS capsule = connective tissue of the joints Ab attack the joints causes arthritis-M-protein in GAS cell wall = mycardium Ab produced against GAS attack heart causes carditis

• Aim to suppress inflammatory response so as to minimize cardiac damage, provide symptomatic relieve and eradicate pharyngeal streptococcal
infection. 1. Bed rest : restrict activity until acute phase reactans return to normal 2. Anti-streptococcal therapy :
• IV c penicillin 50000/kg/dose 6H or oral penicillin • V 250mg 6H (30kg), 500mg 6H (>30kg) for 10 day• oral erythromycin for 10 days if allergic to penicillin.

3. Anti-inflammatory therapy :• mild/no carditis : Oral aspirin 80-100 mg/kg/day in
4 doses for 2-4 weeks, tapering over 4 weeks• pericarditis or moderate to severe carditis : Oral
prednisolone 2 mg /kg/day in divided doses for 2 to 4 weeks, taper with addition of aspirin as above.
4. Anti-failure medications :- diuretics, AGE inhibitors, digoxin

• Serious infection characterized by colonization or invasion of the heart valves or the mural endocardium by a microbe
• This lead to the formation of vegetations composed of thrombotic debris and organisms, often associated with destruction of the underlying cardiac tissues.
• Depending on the severity of infection, IE is subdivided into 2 clinical forms:
• 1. Acute bacterial endocarditis (ABE)• 2. Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SABE)
Infective endocarditis

Acute bacterial endocarditis ( ABE)
Subacute bacterial endocarditis ( SABE)
• Infection of previously normal heart valves
• By a highly virulence organism • Produces necrotizing,
ulcerative destructive lesions• Difficult to cure with
antibiotics and usually required surgery
• Infection of deformed valves• By a lower virulence organism• Cause insidious infections. Thus, less
destructive• Cures are often produce with
antibiotics

• An uncommon condition but has a high morbidity and mortality if untreated
• Increased incidence now likely related to:– Increased survival of CHD patients– Aggressive management of ICU patients
• 17% of cases are in children with no previously known heart disease
• 43% of pediatric cases are in postoperative patients• Most common underlying conditions: Tetralogy of Fallot,
VSD, Aortic stenosis

1. Streptococcus Viridans (50%): often after dental procedures
2. Staphylococcus aureus: CVP related3. Group D streptococcus (enterococci): GI surgery
related4. Streptococcus bovis, HACEK5. Not identified in 10% of cases
Pathogens
![Page 75: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
• The valves have no dedicated blood supply, so defensive immune mechanisms (such as WBC) cannot directly reach the valves via the bloodstream.
• If an organism attaches to a valve surface and forms a vegetation, the host immune response is blunted.
• The lack of blood supply also has implications on treatment, since drugs also have difficulty reaching the infected valve.
• Normally, blood flows smoothly through these valves.• If they damaged - from RHD, for example - the risk of
bacteria attachment is increased.
Pathophysiology
![Page 76: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
• Bacterial implants on the valves :1. The circulating bacteria are lodged on previously damaged valves by RHD and CHD.
Once microorganisms establish themselves on the surface of the vegetation, platelet aggregation and fibrin deposition accelerate at the site.
As the bacteria multiply, they are covered by ever-thickening layers of platelets and thrombin, which protect them from neutrophils and other host defenses.

• Septic signs: fever, rigors, night sweats, malaise, LOW, anemia, spenomegaly, clubbing
• Cardiac lesion: new murmur or change of murmur, abscess at aortic root causes prolong PR interval and complete AV block, heart failure
• Embolic phenomenon: causes abscess to relevant organ• Immune complex deposition: vasculitis affect any vessel

Heart failure
![Page 85: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
• Often called congestive heart failure (CHF) is a common, usually progressive condition with a poor prognosis
• It is syndrome in which heart is unable to provide the output required to meet the metabolic demands of the body(systolic failure) and/or inability to receive blood in to the ventricular cavities at low pressure during diastole (diastolic failure).
Heart failure
![Page 86: Congenital Heart Seminar](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/563dbb5d550346aa9aac8849/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
• There are two primary causes for heart failure. 1. The first, called “overcirculation failure,” occurs when
blood mixes inside the heart due to a congenital heart defect.
2. The second, called “pump failure,” occurs when the heart muscle becomes damaged and no longer contracts normally.
Causes in children or infancy
