AbstractA 13-year-old boy with atrial septal defect and tricuspid valve abnormality was reported. He had crepitan ralles and signs of heart failure. He was treated with digital, diuretic and antimicrobial therapies. After clinical improvement he underwent surgery. The atrial septal defect was closed, and ringplasty was applied to the tricuspid valve. After the operation, he could not be extubated because of respiratory failure. On the seventh day following the surgery, he developed pneumothorax and hyportension and died. Postmortem examination showed bilateral diffuse pulmonary tuberculosis. The aim of this report is to emphasise the association of tuberculosis and congenital heart disease.

Penyakit jantung kongenital dewasa / grown-up congenital heart disease   (GUCH) yang menempati urutan teratas dengan insidensi 10% dari jantung kongenital asianotik pada dewasa adalah atrial septal defect (ASD). Terapi optimal ASD masih kontroversial. Operasi direkomendasikan pada pasien usia pertengahan dan usia tua dengan pintasan kiri ke kanan yang bermakna. Komorbid yang paling sering didapatkan pada defek kongenital pada usia dewasa muda adalah gangguan hemodinamik, hipertensi pulmonal, aritmia,  penyakit kardiovaskular dan penyakit resprasi. Dilaporkan pasien perempuan usia 29 tahun dengan atrial septal defect(ASD) dengan hipertensi pulmonaldan Left Ventricle (LV) Smallishyang dilakukan operasi penututupan defek atrial atau ASD closure. Persiapan preoperasi mencakup anamnesa, pemeriksaan fisik dan pemeriksaan penunjang.Perubahan patologi utama adalah peningkatan resistensi vaskuler paru dan perubahan sekunder terhadap peningkatan aliran darah dari pintasan kiri ke kanan. Masalah yang dihadapi pada pasien  perioperasi ini adalah ukuran jantung kiri baik atrium maupun ventrikel kiri yang kecil memberikan dampak hemodinamik tidak stabil berupa aritmia dan pulmonal hipertensi saat dilakukan penutupan defek. Pemberianobat topangan jantung (nitroglyserin, milrinone, norepinephrine, adrenaline) dan pembuatan Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) memberikan hasil hemodinamik yang stabil selama operasi dan  di ruang perawatan Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, with incidence of 0.7-0.9 live birth; it increases to 2-6% if first degree relative is affected. In Afghanistan majority of births take place at home and routine screening of neonates is not common, so true birth prevalence of CHD cannot be possibly calculated. Therefore, true prevalence of CHD in our population is unknown. Objective To verify the current pattern and frequency distribution of congenital heart disease (CHD) at the Cardiac Research Institute of Kabul Medical University. Methods  This retrospective study was conducted in children aged 0-14 years, who underwent echocardiography for possible congenital heart disease from January 2015 to December 2016. Results  Of 560 patients who underwent echocardiography, 392(70%) had cardiac lesions. Congenital cardiac lesions were found in 235 (60% of those with lesions) patients, while 157 (40%) patients had rheumatic heart disease. Patients with CHD were further subdivided into acyanotic and cyanotic groups. The majority of acyanotic group had isolated atrial septal defect (55%) while the most common lesion in the cyanotic group was Tetralogy of Fallot (42%). Conclusion Congenital heart defects are the most common heart disease in the pediatric population presenting at the Cardiac Research Institute of Kabul Medical University. Atrial septal defect (ASD) was the most common acyanotic defect, while Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common cyanotic defect.

Background Left-to-right shunting in acyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of defect in childhood heart disease. Limited access to specialist health services causes delays in CHD management. In limited resource settings, identification of factors that influence the occurrence of pulmonary hypertension is important in order to decide which patients should be prioritized for defect closure to prevent further complications. Objective To determine predictive factors of pulmonary hypertension after a left-to-right shunt CHD diagnosis. Methods This retrospective cohort study included children aged 1 month to 17 years with isolated atrial septal defect, or ventricular septal defect, or patent ductus arteriosus. Potential predictors studied were iron deficiency anemia, mitral regurgitation, pneumonia, and heart failure. Bivariate analysis was done with Chi-square test and multivariate analysis was done with Cox regression to determine the hazard ratio. Results Pulmonary hypertension occurred in 68 of 176 subjects. Iron deficiency anemia, mitral regurgitation, and pneumonia were not predictives of pulmonary hypertension. However, heart failure was a significant predictive factor for pulmonary hypertension, with a hazard ratio of 4.1 (95%CI 2.2 to 7.5; P=0.001). Conclusions Heart failure is a predictive factor of pulmonary hypertension in children with left-to-right shunting in acyanotic CHD.

Shortness Of Breath

Introduction. In patients suffering from heart disease, pregnancy is a risk factor for mortality. Heart disease in pregnant women can be in form of rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, or congenital heart disease. This case report is about the successful spinal anesthesia technique in cesarean section (C-section) patients with congestive heart failure due to congenital atrial septal defect, and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Case presentation. A pregnant woman, 24 years old, planned to have an emergency C-section. She complained about shortness of breath for 2 days before admission. Three months ago, the patient started to feel shortness of breath during activity and also complained her legs swelled. She has a history of congenital heart i.e. atrial septal defect (ASD), but not routinely been treated. Her examination showed tachypnea, murmur, bibasilar fine crackles lung sound, and pretibial pitting edema. Echocardiography showed ASD with pulmonary hypertension. Spinal Anesthesia using 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine 7.5 mg and fentanyl 25 µcg was given before surgery. Drugs was injected in L3-L4 level with the upper target was as high as T6. the head position is raised 30 degrees. Procedure went well and the APGAR score was 8/9, Patient was admitted to the ICU for one day and discharged from hospital at the 5 days of hospital care. Conclusion. Spinal single-shot spinal anesthesia with small doses of bupivacaine and adjuvant can be used as an alternative technique in emergency C-section for patients with congestive heart failure due to congenital atrial septal defect, and pulmonary hypertension.
