DISEASE

2. CONGENITAL HEART
DISEASE
A Congenital Heart Disease(CHD), also
known as a congenital heart anomaly
or congenital heart defect, is a problem in
the structure of the heart that is present at
birth. Congenital heart disease is one of the
most common types of birth defects,
affecting up to 9 in every 1,000 babies
born.

4. CLASSIFICATION
According to arterial oxygen saturation
congenital heart diseases are classified into
two main categories:
Acyanotic CHD- Normal arterial oxygen
saturation
Cyanotic CHD- Reduced arterial oxygen
saturated

5. VARIOUS ACYANOTIC
CHD
Ventricular septal defect(VSD)
Atrial septal defect(ASD)
Patent ductus arteriosus()PSD
Coarctation of aorta
Pulmonary stenosis

6. VARIOUS CYANOTIC
CHD
Tetrology of fallot
Transposition of great arteries
Tricuspid atresia
Truncus arteriosus
Total anomalies pulmonary venous drainage
Hypoplastic left or right heart

7. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO
CHD
85 to 90% of cases, there is no identifiable
cause for the heart defect. Generally
considered to be caused by the multifactorial
inheritance.
Factors are usually both genetic and
environmental, where a combination of genes
from both parents.
Maternal factors.

8. SYMPTOMS
Poor feeding
Low birth weight
Dizziness
Excessive sweating
Swelling in the hands,
Ankles or feet

9. TREATMENT
This is depend on the type of the C.H.D.
No treatment (observation and
reassurance)
Surgical treatment (palliative or curative).
Cardiac transplant or lung heart transplant
Medical treatment (antifailure,
antiarythmaic etc.,)
Artificial heart valves

10. Chest X-Ray
Echocardiography
Cardiac catheterization
Echocardiography
Systolic pulmonary flow murmur
DIAGNOSIS

11. Avoid pregnancy above age of 38
year.
Avoid smoking.
Avoid alcohol.
Avoid exposure to radiation.
Avoid drugs intake before medical
consultation.
Vaccination of all childbearing
