Defects between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery are among the rare congenital heart defects (CHD), occurring at a rate of 0.27%. In 10-15% of cases this CHD is combined with patent ductus arteriosus (PDP), coarctation of the aorta. Single cases of its combination with pulmonary artery stenosis have been described in the literature. We present a case of successful correction of aortopulmonary septal defect (ASD) combined with PDP and stenosis of the bicuspid pulmonary valve.

Abstract Introduction Pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysms (PAAs) are rare and infrequently diagnosed . The upper limit of the main PA diameter (29 mm) was defined as a PAA. Congenital causes have been recognized as the major reason for PAA formation. More than 50% of all cases were associated with congenital heart disease. The 3 most frequent congenital heart defects associated with a PAA are, in decreasing order, persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA), ventricular septal defects (VSD) , and atrial septal defects (ASD).En face visualization of the whole circumference of the VSD and its relation to the surrounding structures can help in better understanding of the shear stress that promote PAA formation. Case report A 35 year old female patient with no previous cardiac history .She presented to our medical facility complaining of exertional dyspnea since 2 years . On clinical examination, she had harsh pansystolic murmur heard over left parasternal area . 2D Transthoracic Echocardiography revealed an aneurysmally dilated pulmonary artery (40mm in maximum diameter) and a wide VSD. 3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed a wide subarterial VSD which is immediately located below the pulmonary valve. Therefore , that increased flow caused by left-to-right shunt caused by the intimate location of the VSD to the pulmonary valve results in increased hemodynamic shear stress on the vessel walls and therefore promotes aneurysm formation .Surgical closure of the VSD was done successfully with no residual defects. Conclusion PAAs seldom occur, are rarely diagnosed, and do not present with distinct symptoms. With the help of 3D echocardiography , direct visualization of the surrounding septal defects helps better understanding of mechanism of the aneurysm formation. Abstract P1465 Figure.

The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of congenital heart defects in a population of dogs in Poland and to determine which breeds were affected by particular defects. A retrospective study of the medical records of cardiologically examined dogs revealed 301 cases of echocardiographically confirmed congenital heart defects. Dogs with congenital heart defects made up 2.7% of the dogs that underwent a cardiologic examination. The age at diagnosis ranged from 2 weeks to 190 months. Mixed breeds (33 dogs, 11%), Bull Terriers (31, 10%), Boxers (28, 9%), German Shepherds (17, 6%), Yorkshire Terriers (17, 6%), and French Bulldogs (16, 5%) were the most frequently affected breeds. Subaortic stenosis (120 cases, 33.9%), pulmonic stenosis (64, 18.1%), patent ductus arteriosus (59, 16.7%), mitral valve dysplasia (56, 15.8%), ventricular septal defect (24, 6.8%) and tricuspid valve dysplasia (17, 4.8%) were the most frequent congenital heart defects recognized in this study. Isolated congenital heart disease occurred in 258 dogs (86%), while multiple heart defects were noted in 43 dogs (14%). Most (60%) congenital heart defects were recognized in dogs older than 1 year. Early recognition of congenital heart defects is important for better patient care. Collecting information on the frequency of congenital heart defects in particular breeds will be useful in educating breeders and thus in improving the overall health of the breed.

Introduction. Pulmonary artery stenosis (PS) is a congenital heart defect which occurs in 10% of all congenital heart defects. Pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty (BVP) has been the treatment of choice of PS over the last 30 years. Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of this method based on middle-term hospital follow-up, and safety of BVP based on our experience. Methods. The study included 88 patients diagnosed with PS. The patients were divided into three groups based on the severity of the disease. Also, they were divided into two age groups in order to analyze the frequency of complications. Hemodynamic measurements and echocardiography results were recorded before, 24-36 hours after BVP and at the end of follow-up. Results. The studied group involved patients of average age 3.75?4.3 years (20 days to 17 years). Immediately after BVP a significant decrease of pressure gradient across the pulmonary valve (PV) was recorded in all patients; this result was similar in all 3 groups of patients regardless of the severity of stenosis (p<0.001). Complications of BVP occurred most commonly in children up to 12 months of age (ventricular tachycardia 4.5% and supraventricular tachycardia 6.8%). Pulmonary valve insufficiency after dilatation occurred in 6.6% of cases, and was most common in children aged up to 12 months. In 87 (98.9%) patients BVP was a definitive solution, and a significant residual stenosis was not recorded during follow-up. Conclusion. BVP is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of isolated PS in children, regardless of the severity of stenosis but also regardless of patients? age.

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.

Background Previous small sample studies suggested that elevated altitudes might be associated with the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. However, it remains uncertain whether high altitudes (over 3000 m above sea level) are related to congenital heart disease. We therefore explored the prevalence of congenital heart disease in a large cohort of students in the world's largest prefecture-level city with the highest altitude. Methods This cross-sectional study included 84,302 student participants (boys 52.12%, girls 47.88%, with an average age of 10.62 ± 3.33 years). Data were extracted from the screening results among different altitude area schools in Nagqu from June 2016 to August 2017. Students were first screened by performing a physical examination consisting of cardiac auscultations and clinical manifestation screenings. An echocardiography was performed to confirm and identify the subtype of congenital heart disease. Results The prevalence of congenital heart disease among students in Nagqu, Tibet, was 5.21‰ (439 cases). The most common congenital heart disease type was patent ductus arteriosus, representing 66.3% of congenital heart diseases diagnosed in this study, followed by atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, representing 20.3% and 9.1% of congenital heart diseases, respectively. Students living in higher altitudes were significantly more prone to have congenital heart disease than students in locations with lower altitudes. The prevalence of congenital heart disease in girls was found to be higher than that of boys. Conclusions The correlation between congenital heart disease and increased altitude is noteworthy. This study's results are the first big data epidemiological investigation to confirm that high altitude is a significant environmental risk factor for congenital heart disease, especially patent ductus arteriosus. Furthermore, the results provide additional support to make a diagnostic and treatment plan to prevent congenital heart disease in high altitude areas.

Objective: To evaluate the cardiac status of newborns in terms of structural and functional heart diseases. Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted at Paediatric Cardiology Department of “The Children’s Hospital and The Institute of Child Health”, Multan, Pakistan, from January 2017 to December 2019. Neonates aged 0-28 days and referred for echocardiographic evaluation were enrolled. Diagnostic findings were confirmed with the assistance of echocardiography. We were focused on analyzing total number and types of heart diseases along with gender distribution during the study period. Results: During the study period, a total of 2729 newborns were evaluated. We noted 1523 (55.8%) newborns as structurally and functionally normal, 866 (31.7%) had congenital heart disease, 69 (2.5%) duct dependent lesions, 248 (9.1%) persistent pulmonary hypertension and 23 (0.8%) left ventricular (LV) dysfunction but with structurally normal heart. Newborns with LV dysfunction might have hypoxic myocardial damage, metabolic derangements or acute myocarditis. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) followed by Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) and Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) were the most frequent types of acyanotic CHD observed in 248 (28.2%), 171 (19.7%) and 100 (11.5%) neonates respectively while Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was the most common type of cyanotic CHD 74 (8.5%). Conclusion: VSD followed by PDA, ASD and TOF were the most common types of CHD among neonates. Diagnosis of congenital heart defects in the early age is pointing towards improvement in healthcare facilities.

Simple uncomplicated forms of congenital heart disease in adults - pulmonary artery stenosis, non-healing of the Botall's duct - although they are a rarity, still studied more or less enough, and their lifelong recognition is not particularly difficult. Unfortunately, this cannot be said of another heart anomaly, a ventricular septal defect.
