AbstractThis study was performed to determine the prevalence of CHD among children referred with asymptomatic murmurs and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the assessment of asymptomatic heart murmurs by general paediatricians. We reviewed the records of children who had been referred by general paediatricians to a cardiology clinic for further evaluation of a heart murmur. The referring paediatricians’ clinical assessment of the murmur was compared with the cardiologist’s echocardiographic diagnosis. A total of 150 children were referred by paediatricians to a paediatric cardiologist for further assessment of a heart murmur. Out of 150 children, 72 had a paediatrician’s diagnosis of innocent murmur; of these 72 patients, two (3%) had heart disease on echocardiography. In all, after echocardiography, a range of congenital heart lesions was found in 28 (19%) of the 150 children. CHD is not rare among children with asymptomatic heart murmurs. In this series of children with asymptomatic murmurs, 19% had heart lesions on echocardiography. Most, but not all, of the children with heart lesions were identified on clinical examination by general paediatricians.

Pediatric Echocardiography

Objective: Children with critical congenital heart disease (CHD) often present in remote areas with life-threatening illness. Although performing complete pediatric echocardiograms requires significant training, remote locations necessitate sonographers with limited pediatric experience screen for CHD. The Sonographer University (SU) was designed to improve comfort in adult sonographers scanning children and recognizing CHD. Methods: The SU consisted of lectures, multimedia case studies, roundtable discussions, pathology stations, and hands-on scanning of 20 volunteer pediatric patients with either normal or diseased hearts. Topics included an overview of critical congenital heart lesions, crucial views for each defect, and pitfalls in imaging children. Results: Forty-four participants completed the SU seminar. In pretest assessment, approximately two-thirds said they were currently required to scan children. Participants’ comfort level sonographically scanning children and recognizing CHD improved substantially. A posttest showed that the course improved participants’ skill, knowledge, and confidence with pediatric studies. Conclusion: The SU seminar helped sonographers from remote areas to develop improved recognition of CHD, confidence in pediatric scanning, and methods for obtaining assistance with imaging a critically ill child.

Kommerell Diverticulum

Vascular ring malformations usually occur as an isolated lesion. d-Transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) associated with vascular ring malformations has seldom been reported in the literature. In this report, we describe two unusual cases of d-TGA associated with non-Kommerell diverticulum resulting in vascular ring. Our approach for the diagnosis and surgical management of this unusual combination of congenital heart lesions is described.

AbstractTransposition of the great arteries is a common congenital heart defect causing cyanosis in neonates, occurring in 0.2 per 1000 live births. It has been reported to occur with other associated congenital heart lesions. However, its association with a superior sinus venosus defect and partially anomalous pulmonary venous return has not been reported. We present a neonate with transposition of the great arteries, superior sinus venosus defect with partially anomalous pulmonary venous return that underwent successful complete neonatal repair, and discuss important physiological and anatomic considerations.

Patent Ductus

Atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are commonly encountered problems and constitute about 20% of all congenital heart lesions. Association of these two conditions in a single patient is not very uncommon. Both these conditions can be treated by placing intracardiac devices. Double interventional closure of Atrial Septal Defect (secundum type) and Patent Ductus Arteriosus was performed in single sitting in a 12 year-old girl in Catheterization Laboratory of CMH Dhaka. This is the first ever-reported double interventional closure of two separate diseases in a single patient in single setting, which led writing this report.
