Congenital Heart DiseaseCongenital Heart Disease

• Most common type of heart disease among children

a) ~ 1% of live birthsb) most causes unknown

i) ~ 10% genetic- e.g., trisomy 21 (Down

syndrome)- congenital defect in

parent or sibling is greatest risk factor

Page 2: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Types:a) L to R shuntb) R to L shuntc) obstructions

1.- L to R shuntsL to R shuntsa) ASD, VSD, PDA

i) pulmonary blood flow (ASD)

- NO cyanosisb) RV pressures and Vol.

(VSD,PDA)i) hypertrophyii) PVR (vasoconstriction)

- to prevent edema

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 3: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

c) Over time PVR to that of SVRi) reverses shunt (cyanosis)

2.- R to L shuntR to L shunta) pulmonary blood flow

i) Cyanosis “blueness” of skinb) examples:

i) tetralogy of Fallot ii) great vessel transpositioniii) truncus arteriosusiv) tricuspid atresiav) anomalous pulmonary

venous connection

Page 4: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

c) long standing cyanosis is associated with “clubbing”

of the tips of the fingers and toes

3.- Obstructions (of flow)Obstructions (of flow)a) coarctation of the aortab) valvular stenosis

i) aorticii) pulmonary

c) complete obstruction is called “Atresia”

Left to Right ShuntsLeft to Right Shunts

• Most common:a) VSD, ASD, PDA and AVSD

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 7: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

i) VSD most common- close spontaneously

(50%) ii) ASD usually not

symptomatic before 30 yrs

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 8: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

iii) DA remains open after birth- ~ 90% occur as isolated anomaly - reversal of flow with PVR causes cyanosis- PGE will maintain DA

cardiac defects such as obstructive disease

iv) complete atrioventricular canal defect

- all 4 chambers freely communicate (Down

syndrome)www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Right to Left ShuntsRight to Left Shunts

• Tetralogy of FallotTetralogy of Fallota) Most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease

• Defects:a) VSDb) Pulmonary artery stenosis

i) determines clinical outcomec) aorta that overrides VSDd) RV hypertrophy

Page 11: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Clinical Presentation:a) The onset and degree of

cyanosis depends on:i) severity of the pulmonary

obstruction ii) the size of the shunt.

b) Cyanosis is usually not seen until 3- 6 months of age.

c) The cyanosis is due to right ventricle outflow obstruction causing unoxygenated

blood through the VSD. www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 12: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Transposition of the Great Transposition of the Great ArteriesArteries(TGA)(TGA)

a) aorta arises from RVi) is anterior and to the right

of the pulmonary arteryb) pulmonary artery arises from

LVc) total separation of pulmonary

and systemic circulationsi) need a shunt to survive following birth

- VSD stable shuntwww.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 13: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

- PDA, foramen ovale unstable shunt (close

quickly after birth) need surgery• the aorta originates from the right ventricle, so most of the blood returning to the heart from the body is pumped back out without first going to the lungs.

• the pulmonary artery originates from the left ventricle, so that most of the blood returning from the lungs goes back to the lungs again

Truncus ArteriosusTruncus Arteriosus

• Failure of separation into aorta and pulmonary artery

a) results in single great arteryi) receives blood from both ventricles

- early systemic cyanosisb) accompanying VSDc) pulmonary blood flow

i) danger of irreversible pulmonary hypertensionwww.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Tricuspid AtresiaTricuspid Atresia

• Clinical Presentation:a) Cyanosis is almost always

present at birth and is progressive.

b) Etiology/Pathophysiology:i) Due to absence of the

tricuspid valve. This leads to an interatrial right to left shunt, usually through a patent foramen ovale. www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 19: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

ii) It is classified by the absenceof tricuspid valve,pulmonary stenosis,and VSD.

iii)The most Common form is also associatedWith a hypoplastic right ventricle

Page 20: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

TRICUSPID ATRESIATRICUSPID ATRESIA1 - atrial septal defect2 - absent tricuspid valve3 - ventricular septal defectBlood is shunted through an atrial septal defect to the left atrium and through the ventricular septal defect to the pulmonary artery. The shaded arrows indicate mixing of the blood. www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC)Venous Connection (TAPVC)

• No pulmonary veins directly join LAa) drain into left innominate vein

or coronary sinusb) PV drain into RA

• ASD or foramen ovale always present

a) allows PV blood to enter LAb) R to L shunt

• Volume and pressure hypertrophy of RV

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 22: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

1 - superior vena cava2 - atrial septal defect3 - left innominate vein4 - pulmonary veinsOxygenated blood returning from the lungs is routed back into the superior vena cava, rather than the left atrium. The presence of an atrial septal defect is necessary to allow partially oxygenated blood to reach the left side of the heart.

Obsttructive Congenital Obsttructive Congenital AnomaliesAnomalies

Coarctation of the Aorta• Narrowing• Males 2:1 vs. female

a) females with Turners frequently have coarctation

• 2 types:a) infantile (with PDA; poor

outcome)i) prior to PDA

- symptoms early in life- cyanosis of lower body

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 24: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

b) adult (without PDA)i) most children asymptomatic until late in lifeii) hypertension in upper

extremitiesiii) hypotension in lower

extremities• Murmurs

a) throughout systole• LV hypertrophy

Pulmonary Stenosis and AtresiaPulmonary Stenosis and Atresia

• Obstruction at pulmonary valve• May occur as isolated defect or with:

a) Tetralogy of Fallot orb) TGA

• RV hypertrophya) usually there is poststenotic dilation

i) “jet” streaming• Relatively frequent defectwww.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 28: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Atresia of valvea) no communication between RV

and lungsb) hypoplastic RV with ASDc) flow enters lung through PDA

Aortic Stenosis and AtresiaAortic Stenosis and Atresia• 3 types:

a) valvularb) subvalvularc) supravalvular

• Systolic murmur• LV hypertrophywww.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 29: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Valvular (severe) aortic Valvular (severe) aortic stenosis orstenosis or atresiaatresia

a) outflow obstructioni) hypoplastic LV and

ascending aortab) PDA MUST be present to allow blood flow to:

i) aortaii) coronary arteriesiii) always fatal in first week of life

- when ductus closes !!www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 30: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

Aortic stenosis (valvular)1 - narrowed aortic valveFlow patterns are normal but blood flow to the aortais reduced as indicated by the broken white arrows

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 31: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Subaortic stenosisSubaortic stenosisa) thickened ring below level of

cusps

• Supraventricular aortic stenosisSupraventricular aortic stenosisa) inherited defect

i) mutation of elastin gene causes this defect

b) ascending aorta is dysplastici) greatly thickened, causing

- narrowing of lumenwww.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Heart Failure (i.e.,Congestive)Heart Failure (i.e.,Congestive)

• Heart cannot eject volume which is being returned to it

a) failure to perfuse tissues effectivelyb) usually slowly progressive

i) acute forms- MI- Volume overload- valvular dysfunction

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 35: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Compensatory mechanisms:a) Frank-Starling mechanism

i) stretch contractionb) cardiac structural changes

i) hypertrophyc) activation of neurohumoral

systemi) sympathetic tone (NE)

- HR- contractility

ii) renin-angiotensin- aldosterone systemiii) ANP

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 36: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Most frequent causes for failure of these compensatory mechanisms are:

a) ischemiab) hypertensionc) whatever the reason for the failure CHF

i) CO (systolic failure) or,ii) CO (diastolic failure)

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 37: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Cardiac HypertrophyCardiac Hypertrophy a) cardiac myocyte is terminally differentiated cell

i) no in cell # (i.e., hyperplasia)

ii) load on cells causes cells to in size (i.e., hypertrophy)

- pressure or volume overload- trophic hormones (e.g.,

T4)b) pressure overload

i) “concentric hypertrophy”

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 38: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

ii) wall thicknessiii) cavity diameter

c) volume overloadi) “eccentric hypertrophy”ii) chamber dilationiii) ventricular diameteriv) wall thickness may not

change- owing to simultaneous

hypertrophyd) capillary density with hypertrophy

i) demands ischemia !!

Page 39: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

Left Sided Heart FailureLeft Sided Heart Failure

• Most often caused by:a) ischemic heart diseaseb) hypertensionc) aortic and mitral valve diseased) nonischemic myocardial

disease• Major effect is “damming” of blood within the lungs• LV hypertrophy and often dilation• LA secondary dilation

a) stasis, arrhythmia, thrombuswww.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 40: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

• Lungs major problema) pulmonary vein pressure

i) pulmonary congestion and edema- heavy and wet

b) iron containing proteins in edema fluid and Hb from RBC

i) phagocytosed by macrophages

- converted to “Hemosiderin”

- “heart failure cells”c) dyspnea

i) early sign

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 41: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

d) orthopnea i) dyspnea on lying down and

relieved by sitting upright

e) cough is common with Left sided failure

• Kidneysa) COb) renin-angiotensin-aldosterone

i) retention of salt and water- contribute to edema- counteracted by ANP

Page 42: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

Right Sided Heart FailureRight Sided Heart Failure

• Major cause is LEFT heart failure• Occurs as isolated failure in only few diseases

a) chronic pulmonary hypertension

i) “ Cor Pulmonale”• Minimal pulmonary congestion• Major areas of edema are systemic, peripheral

a) liver and portal system i) “congestive hepatomegaly”

www.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 43: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

ii) when Left heart failure is present, hypoxic liver

shows signs of “centrilobular necrosis”

iii) long standing Right failure- cardiac cirrhosis

iv) portal hypertension- congestive splenomegaly

v) ascites vi) pleural and pericardial effusions accompany Right heart failurewww.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com

Page 44: Congenital heart disease  heart failure

Cardiac TransplantationCardiac Transplantation• 2 major causes:

a) DCMb) IHD

• Major success due to:a) careful selection of patientsb) drug therapyc) sequential biopsies

• Major problemsa) stenosis (coronary arteries)

i) silent MI (no pain !)- CHF or sudden deathwww.freelivedoctor.comwww.freelivedoctor.com
