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.

Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) is the most common congenital disease that affects 8 out of every 1000 births. CHD can be classified as cyanotic and acyanotic. Acyanotic is the most frequently diagnosed CHD. The most common complication in acyanotic CHD is pulmonary hypertension. This descriptive study was based on medical records of acyanotic CHD patients with pulmonary hypertension in RSUD Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Samarinda from 2015 to 2016 who were diagnosed by a cardiologist and confirmed with echocardiography. There were 62 patients diagnosed with acyanotic CHD and pulmonary hypertension, which 58% of patients were diagnosed with Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) (21%), and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) (21%). Defect sizes distribution were mostly large (66%), then medium (29%), and small (5%). There were 56% of patients diagnosed before 18 years old and 44% diagnosed after they reached 18 years old. There were 68% of female patients and 32% male patients. Pulmonary hypertension severity distribution was mild (52%), moderate (26%), and severe (22%). The most diagnosed acyanotic CHD was ASD. The defect size in acyanotic CHD was mostly large, and mostly found in female patients. The severity of pulmonary hypertension was mostly mild.

The transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (TCPC) has been demonstrated to be feasible even in infants weighing ≤1000 g. However, other percutaneous cardiac interventions (PCI) for such small infants born with congenital heart defects (CHD) or acquired heart defects (AHD) have not been well described. The purpose of this study was to describe the feasibility and safety of PCI in infants ≤1000 g. A retrospective review was conducted between June 2015 and May 2021, looking at 148 consecutive PCIs performed on infants weighing ≤1000 g at the time of the procedure. The procedural success rate was 100%. The major adverse event (AE) rate for TCPC was 3%, while there were no major AEs for other PCI. It is feasible to perform PCIs in infants weighing ≤1000 g with CHD and AHD using currently available technologies.

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.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of congenital heart defects and examine their association with preeclampsia (PE). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A clinical-based, retrospective study was conducted in Shenzhen between 2004 and 2017. Data were collected from Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Hospital Medical Record Database. This study included all infants who were born at the hospital with or without heart defects and their mothers (<i>N</i> = 177,434 newborns). Data processing and analysis were performed by SPSS23.0 (Chicago, IL, USA). <b><i>Results:</i></b> 6,852 women (3.9%) were diagnosed as PE and 1,289 newborns (7.30 per 1,000) have congenital heart disease (CHD). Prevalence of CHD in newborns of women with PE is 15.8 per 1,000 significantly higher than the overall prevalence (7.30 per 1,000). CHD in newborns has strong association with PE, especially early-onset PE (adjusted OR 3.29 and 95% CI 2.15–5.03) and severe PE (adjusted OR 2.75 and 95% CI 2.13–3.56). Among those with CHD, infants of preeclamptic women had higher prevalence of tetralogy of Fallot (43.78 vs. 28.14 per 100,000), atrial septal defect (335.67 vs. 53.93 per 100,000), ventricular dysplasia (102.16 vs. 89.69 per 100,000), and ventricular septal defect (525.39 vs. 212.22 per 100,000) than pregnant women with non-PE. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> PE, especially early-onset PE and severe PE, is strongly associated with offspring CHD. Our results help advance the current understanding of the association between PE and offspring CHD. So preventing PE and reducing PE may have a beneficial effect on the offspring CHD.

The detection of a congenital heart defect at purchase is an important step in early detection from a clinical and legal standpoint. Indeed, some cardiac abnormalities may be corrected with surgery, and very often, treatment needs to be performed early before congestive heart failure or irreversible heart damage can occur. From a legal viewpoint, if the defect is revealed in a newly purchased puppy, the buyer may be required to return it and receive compensation. Puppies affected with congenital heart defects are likely to die prematurely, causing emotional suffering to the owner. Furthermore, by considering breed predisposition, early recognition allows breeders to avoid breeding from particular dogs with genetic defects and prevent the continuation of genetic defects in breeding lines. Given gaps in the literature about the recognition of murmurs in the puppy trade, the present article describes how to identify a heart murmur in a puppy during a pre-purchase examination and its significance from a clinical and legal viewpoint. In the canine population, the prevalence of cardiac defects ranges between 0.13 and 1.6%. Pulmonic stenosis is the most common defect found in puppies, followed by patent ductus arteriosus, subaortic stenosis, and ventricular septal defect. On the basis of the above considerations, the veterinarian should recognize and identify the murmur following a protocol for routine examination of puppies involved in trade.

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.
