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.

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.

DEPARTMENTS DIRECTORY ADVANCED SEARCH SCHOOL HOME ... How to Make an Appointment Congenital Heart Disease (Adults) Congenital heart disease is the term used to describe heart defects present at birth. Many times, surgery is indicated for children and infants, even newborns. Sometimes a defect is not discovered until adolescence or adulthood, when corrective surgery may be recommended. Congenital heart disorders are usually diagnosed using chest x-ray, electrocardiography, echocardiography, and (less commonly) cardiac catheterization. Electrocardiograms and echocardiograms are performed in our Noninvasive Cardiology Laboratory, which has played a leading role in the imaging of congenital heart disorders. Some patients with suspected congenital heart disease have a test called transesophageal echocardiography, a test which we pioneered. This examination produces images of the heart of a quality higher than those obtained using conventional echocardiography. The most common congenital heart defects in adults are ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, coarctation of the aorta (a narrowing of the aorta that can affect blood pressure and strain the heart), and valve disease. Septal defects cause oxygenated and unoxygenated blood to mix in the heart. NYU cardiac surgeons are increasingly using minimally invasive techniques to repair such defects, enabling patients to return to normal activities sooner than they would have with conventional open heart surgery.

HOME CIS Information Doctor's Biographies View On-line Articles ... Positions Available Pregnancy and Heart Disease By James B. Lam, M.D. Cardiologist/Cardiovascular Specialist Cardiovascular Institute of the South/Morgan City Fifty years ago, doctors regularly told women with heart disease to avoid pregnancy. That changed as more was learned about the changes a pregnant woman's body undergoes and now it is not unusual for women with heart disease to have a normal (albeit carefully monitored) pregnancy. Pregnancy puts tremendous strains on the heart and circulatory system. By the time the baby is due, blood volume has increased by up to 50 percent, meaning the heart must beat faster and harder to move all that blood. It is essential that women with heart disease discuss their illness with their doctors before becoming pregnant. While most women with heart disease can carry a baby to term under the care of a obstetrician and cardiologist, those with certain congenital heart diseases - cyanotic congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, or severe aortic stenosis - are at high risk of losing their babies, their lives, or both. It is also important to discuss with the doctor the possibility of passing on a congenital heart defect to the child. Between four and five percent of children born to women with significant congenital heart disease inherit the condition. With some disorders the rate can climb to 50 percent.

Defects can range from simple to complex and can occur alone or in groups, depending on how the heart has developed. Types of adult congenital heart disease include: Anomolous pulmonary veins Atrial septal defects Congenital valve problems Congenital aortic regurgitation Congenital aortic stenosis Congenital mitral regurgitation Congenital mitral stenosis Congenital pulmonary stenosis Congenital tricuspid regurgitation Congenital tricuspid stenosis Coarctation of the aorta Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries Ebstein's anomaly Eisenmenger's syndrome Patent ductus arteriosus Pulmonary atresia Tetralogy of Fallot Ventricular septal defects Adult Congenital Heart Disease Clinic at Mayo Clinic Adults with congenital heart disease require expert care for continued survival and quality of life. Also, these patients need advice about many issues such as exercise, employability, noncardiac surgery, insurance difficulties, endocarditis prophylaxis, education regarding their anatomy, prognosis, and potential future problems. Facilities and personnel need to be available to provide this complex, multidisciplinary care. In order to best care for these complex patients, the cardiologists at Mayo Clinic established the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Clinic a decade ago.

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. Multifactorial inheritance means that "many factors" (multifactorial) are involved in causing a birth defect. The factors are usually both genetic and environmental, where a combination of genes from both parents, in addition to unknown environmental factors, produce the trait or condition. Maternal factors and CHD: Most mothers of babies born with congenital heart disease will look critically at their own behaviors during pregnancy to try to find a cause for their child's illness. It is important to remember that most cases of congenital heart disease have no known cause. However, some types of congenital heart defects are known to occur more often when the mother comes in contact with certain substances during the first few weeks of pregnancy, while the baby's heart is developing. Some maternal illnesses and medications taken for these illnesses have been shown to affect the heart's development. Other illnesses or medications seem to have no impact on the baby's heart.
