Objectives: To see the (a) type of congenital heart disease, (b) Clinical presentation of the cases, (c) association with extra-cardiac anomalies and disease, (d) complications of different CHD, (e) outcome of patients during hospital stay. Methodology: it was a prospective study conducted in the department of pediatrics of Rajshahi Medical College & Hospital over a period of one year.115 children from birth to 12 years of age who had congenital heart disease confirmed by echocardiography were included. All patients were treated conservatively and observed for immediate out come during the hospital stay. Result: major types of CHD were VSD (42.6%), TOF (18.3%), ASD (14.8%), PDA (7.8%). Male outnumbers female child. Common symptoms were breathlessness (60%), fatigue (54.8%), cough (43.5%), poor weight gain (41.7%), recurrent chest infection (34.8%), fever (28.7%), feeding problems (26.1%), palpitation (21.7%) and bluish discoloration of lips and fingertips (20%). Murmur with or without thrill and cardiomegaly was the most important cardiac finding. Frequently observed complications were heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and growth failure.   doi: 10.3329/taj.v21i1.3221 TAJ 2008; 21(1): 58-62

Background: Maternal diabetes mellitus (DM) has been shown to be high risk factor for congenital anomalies. It carries 3-5 times higher risk of incidence compared to the general population. The aims of present study is to investigate and portray the incidence of congenital heart disease in infants of diabetic mothers and know the utility of echocardiography in the early diagnosis of CHD at Nobel Medical College teaching hospital, a tertiary care centre in the eastern part of Nepal and review the current literature. Material & Methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted in Nobel Medical College Teaching hospital, Kanchanbari, Biratnagar Nepal over the period of 12 months. A structured questionnaire was designed which included demographic profile and the Echocardiography findings. The collected data were analysed using window’s SPSS version 20. Results: In the present study of the total deliveries 1.99 % was diabetic mother comprising 208 deliveries.127 had undergone echocardiography in which 10.2 % (n=13) had anomalies. One hundred sixteen were term and 11 were preterm. PDA was the most common anomaly (38.4%) followed by VSD (23.1%) and HCM (15.4%). Conclusion: With the review of current literature it has been found that maternal diabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor for congenital heart disease so it is suggested that the presence of diabetes mellitus in a pregnancy should be taken as a strong suspicious of having CHD and infants should be screened for the same .so as to diagnose the anomaly at the earliest possible.

Background and Aim : Echocardiograph is an important diagnostic tool to evaluate cardiac disease and is indispensible for management. So it is important to know the spectrum of cardiac abnormalities that can be detected by echocardiograph and the frequency of these findings may vary depending on where the echocardiogram is performed. Aim of this study was to find out the spectrum of echocardiographic finding in different age group in a medical college hospital. Methods and materials : A retrospective observational study was done to at Dhulikhel Hospital to review Echocardiographic profile of 3310 patients who were indicated for echocardiogram over a period of 3 years. Data collected from echocardiograph report registry. Data analysis was done using SPSS 17. Result : Congenital Heart Disease(CHD) (37.74%),Normal finding( 21.19%), Pericardial Heart Disease(19.21%) and Rheumatic Heart Disease(RHD)(17.88%) were the echocardiographic finding in children. In adolescents and young adults Rheumatic Heart Disease (49.90%), Hypertensive Heart Disease (13.34%), Congenital Heart Disease (6.58%), and Pericardial Disease (4.38%) were found. Most common finding in middle age was cor-pulmonale (34.76%) followed by Diastolic Dysfunction (20.60%), Hypertensive Heart Disease(17.06%),Ischemic Heart Disease(IHD) (12.80%). In elderly age most common finding was Diastolic Dysfunction (57.14%). Conclusion : The spectrum of echocardiograph finding in a medical college hospital ranges from Congenital Heart Disease, Rheumatic Heart Disease, Ischemic Heart Disease ,Pericardial disease, Corpulmonale, Diastolic Dysfunction, systolic dysfunction and degenerative valve disease. Streptococcal sore throat leading to Rheumatic Heart Disease and complication of tuberculosis and parasitic infestation leading to pericardial diseases, as well as Hypertensive Heart Disease, and Ischemic Heart Disease constitutes burden in Nepal.
