The surprisingly common world of Heart Defects

The surprisingly common world of CONGENITAL HEARTR DEFECT Imagine coming into the world not being able to live 1 in 100 that's that's 1% 40,000 children are born with a CHD. of children every year CHD's are the leading cause birth-defect related deaths. There are over I million American adults living with a CHD. 1/3rd I/Brd of children born with a CHD need life saving treatment before they are 1 year old The median age of CHD related deaths is Most CHD's have no known cause 88%)Unknown 6% Chromosome Abnormality 4%] Single Gene Defects 1% Environmental Factors but there are several contributing risk factors Father exposed Diabetes Alcohol during pregnancy to pesticides and heavy chemicals 104 Certain Prescriptions Rubella check with your doctor during pregnancy and the likelihood increases if iť's in the family * Average likelihood is 1% * If a father has a CHD, his new baby has a If a mother has a CHD, her new baby has a If one sibling has a CHD, his/her new sibling has a If two siblings have a CHD, their new sibling has a 1.5 - 3% 1.5 - 18% 1.5 - 5% 5- 10% chance of having one. chance of having one. chance of having one. chance of having one. COMMON TYPES OF CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS A normal heart is a double pump: CHD's are abnormalities in the walls, one for oxygen-poor blood (from body to lungs) one for oxygen-rich blood (from lungs to body) valves, arteries or veins of the heart that disrupts this system, resulting in CHD survivors can develop side effects later oxygen-poor blood to the body or not in life including physical growth issues, motor enough blood to the body. skill abnormalities, anxiety and depression. This is a normal heart UPPER BODY SUPERIOR VENA CAVA AORTA RIGHT PULMONARY ARTERIES LEFT PULMONARY ARTERIES RIGHT LUNG LEFT LUNG RIGHT PULMONARY VEINS- LEFT PULMONARY VEINS ATRIAL SEPTUM LEFT ATRIUM RIGHT ATRIUM MITRAL VALVE TRICUSPID VALVE PULMONARY ARTERY PULMONARY VALVE -AORTIC VALVE RIGHT VENTRICLE LEFT VENTRICLE LOWER BODY INFERIOR VENA CAVA - -VENTRICULAR SEPTUM -DESCENDING AORTA Oxygen-poor blood oxygen-rich blood P'ulmonary Stenosis /. If the pulmonary valve is too narrow, the right ventricle has to work harder to pump the UPPER BODY blood. Treatment: Cardiac catheterization involves enlarging the valve with the inflation of a balloon. Mortality rate: A very large majority of patients live. Incidence Rate: LOWER BODY 400 cases per 100,000 births. Il ypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome When the left ventricle and related parts are underdeveloped, the heart cannot pump UPPER BODY enough oxygenated blood to the body. Treatment: Three part reconstructive surgery, or heart transplant. Mortality rate: 7% for standard risk cases. 43% for high risk cases. Incidence Rate: (150 cases per 100,000 births. LOWER BODY Truncus Arteriosus Sometimes, the vessels leading out of the heart Form one passage instead of two. Oxygenated and un-oxygenated blood mix, leaving the blood without enough oxygen for the body. UPPER BODY Treatment: Early surgical repair. Mortality rate: 90% of untreated individuals die within a year. 50% of treated infants die. Incidence Rate: LOWER BODY cases per 100,000 births. Atrial Septal Defect An abnormal opening between the heart's upper chambers allows for the mixing of UPPER BODY oxygenated and un-oxygenated blood. Treatment: Cardiac catheterization, medicine, or natural healing. Mortality rate: 12% by mid-life with treatment Incidence Rate: cases per 100,000 births. LOWER BODY Tetrology of Fallout A combination of four other types of CHD's. · Misplaced Aorta • Pulmonary Stenosis · Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy UPPER BODY Treatment: Early life open-heart repair surgery. Mortality rate: 50% of untreated children by age 6. Incidence Rate: LOWER BODY 39 cases per 100,000 births.
