Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease

Background: The most common complication in acyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) is heart failure which definitive diagnosis and therapy remain unsatisfactory. Heart failure’s progression is often associated with oxidative stress process. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the first line antioxidant of defense against superoxide anion. While Catalase (CAT) breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen molecules which complements previous detoxification carried out by SOD. Objective: This study aimed to compare the differences of SOD and CAT levels in acyanotic CHD patients between those with and without heart failure. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on three to ten years old children with a left-to-right shunt acyanotic CHD with and without heart failure in the Pediatric Cardiology outpatient clinic, ward, and emergency room of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya from April-July 2020. Echocardiography was used to establish the diagnosis of CHD, while Pediatric Heart Failure Score (PHFS) criteria was used to indicate heart failure. T-test was undertaken for analysing the difference between both groups. Results: The total samples were 41 children, consisted of 29 subjects in the case group (CHD with heart failure) and 12 subjects in the control group (without heart failure). The level of SOD in CHD with heart failure was lower (74.670+15.705) than those without it (109.163+3.111) (p<0.05). In contrast, level of CAT in CHD with heart failure was higher (25.895) than those without it (13.976) (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant difference of SOD and CAT levels in acyanotic CHD between those with and without heart failure.

OBJECTIVE: Congenital heart disease is one of the most common childhood diseases that affect both the children's and their families social life, quality of life and the children's academic achievement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the school performance of children suffering from congenital heart disease who underwent surgical or catheter based interventions. METHODS: The study group included 50 patients with congenital heart disease underwent surgical or catheter based interventions attending to secondary school (aged 12-15 years old) and 50 healthy controls. The academic success validation from official school grades of lessons Turkish, Mathematics, Science, Social Sciences lessons and behavioral attitudes were obtained from the Ministry of Education ‘’e-school’’ parent information system printouts. The patient group consisted of both cyanotic and acyanotic patients and each groups were compared with controls. RESULTS: Turkish, mathematics, physical education classes and behavioral attitudes note in the patient group was significantly lower than in the control group. The school success in Cyanotic group was significantly lower than the control group in Turkish, mathematics, education lessons and behavioral attitudes grades. Significant difference was not determined in science and social science lessons. CONCLUSION: Cyanotic group's success in mathematic and turkish lessons are lower in children with congenital heart disease especially in cyanotic group. We suggest that providing supportive teaching pragrammes for children with congenital hearth disease are needed in order to maintain academic success.

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.

Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease

Background Anemia is highly prevalent and affects morbidity and mortality in adults with acquired heart disease. However, its role in children with acyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) is unclear. Objective To assess anemia and other potential prognostic factors of congestive failure in children with left-to-right shunt acyanotic CHD. Methods We conducted a case-control study in the Pediatric Cardiology Clinic, Dr. Sardjito Hospital from January to December 2017 in children with left-to-right shunt acyanotic CHD. The case and control groups consisted of subjects with and without heart failure, respectively. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin concentration <11 g/dL. Measured outcome was the prevalence of congestive heart failure, as determined by the Ross criteria. Anemia, defect type, defect size, age at diagnosis, and gender were analyzed by logistic regression analysis as potential predictive factors of heart failure. Results Of 100 children with left-to-right shunt acyanotic CHD, 50 had heart failure (the case group) and 50 did not (the control group). The prevalence of anemia was 45%. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that defect size was the most significant factor for predicting heart failure, with adjusted OR 7.6 (95%CI 2.5 to 22.8) for moderate shunts and 21.1 (95%CI 6.8 to 65.4) for large shunts. Anemia, type of defect, age of diagnosis, and gender were not statistically significant factors for predicting outcomes. Conclusion Anemia is not a significant, prognostic factor for heart failure in children with left-to-right shunt acyanotic CHD. However, moderate and large shunts in children with left-to-right shunt acyanotic CHD are predictive of the occurrence of congestive heart failure.

In this study, we have investigated feasibility of remifentanil and sufentanil anesthesia in children with congenital heart disease surgery and its effects on cardiac function and serological parameters. For this purpose, a retrospective study was conducted on 120 children with congenital heart disease who underwent repair of ventricular septum or atrial septum in our hospital, specifically from January 2016 to January 2018, and 60 patients in each group were randomly divided into the control and treatment groups, respectively. The control group was anesthetized with sufentanil, and the treatment group was anesthetized with remifentanil. The heart function, serological indexes, and adverse reactions were observed and compared. We have observed that there was no significant difference in HR levels between these groups ( P > 0.05 ), but SDP and DBP values of the two groups were decreased after anesthetic induction ( P < 0.05 ). ACH, cortisol, and lactic acid in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The incidence of bradycardia, nausea and vomiting, hypotension, muscle rigidity, and respiratory depression in the treatment group was 16.67% lower than that in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Remifentanil has less influence on hemodynamics and a better analgesic effect than fentanyl in inhibiting stress response in congenital heart surgery, which provides reference and basis for children congenital heart surgery.

Abstract Background: The incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is growing at a rapid speed worldwide, which due to changes of both environmental and lifestyle exposures. This study aimed to explore how the non-genetic risk factors of maternal and perinatal conditions influenced onset of CHD in infants.Methods: Infants with congenital heart disease diagnosed by echocardiography from May 2012 to December 2013 were recruited as positive cases, while healthy individuals without congenital heart disease recruited at the same period were regarded as controls. The general situation of parents and the exposure to environmental factors during perinatal period in the case group and the control group were investigated by questionnaires.Results: A total of424 questionnaires of infants with congenital heart disease and 362 healthy controls were finally collected. We analyzed the risk factors during perinatal period of their mothers showed that their mothers took drugs in early pregnancy (odds ratio [OR]=4.41, 95 % confidence interval [CI]:2.41-6.73), viral infection (OR = 2.97, 95% CI: 1.62-5.73), house decoration (OR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.43-3.75), hair dyeing and scalding (OR = 2.24, 95% CI:1.46-4.05), parents' exposures to work environment pollution (OR = 2.77, 95% CI: 2.03-5.38) were independent risk factors for cardiovascular malformations. With the increase of exposure factors, the risk of congenital heart disease increased significantly. When pregnant women were exposed to three or more risk factors at the same time, the risk of infants with congenital heart disease in was 17.24 times higher than that of single-factor exposure.Conclusions: Together, the incidence of CHD in infants is correlated with the exposure to perinatal risk factors.

Background. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an important marker which reflects inflammatory activity in many chronic diseases. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of RDW on morbidity and mortality before and after pediatric congenital heart surgery.Methods. 107 patients with congenital heart disease, cardiac case group, and 70 patients, control group, without heart disease were retrospectively analyzed. Pre-, and postoperative and at discharge RDW of the cardiac patients were determined. Lengths of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay and exited patients were determined.Results. Mean lengths of ICU and hospital stay were3.3±2.7and7.3±2.9days. In control group, mean preoperative RDW was12.6±1.4, while in cardiac case group it was significantly higher (15.1±3.5). In cardiac case group, postoperative RDW were significantly higher than preoperative period, while RDW at discharge were significantly lower than postoperative estimates. A significant and a positive correlation was detected between lengths of ICU and hospital stay and RDW. RDW of the exited patients were significantly higher than the survivors.Conclusions. This study demonstrates that RDW can be used as an important indicator in the prediction of morbidity and mortality during pre-, and postoperative period of the pediatric congenital heart disease surgery.

Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common congenital abnormality in children. Consanguineous marriage has been identified as a risk factor of  CHD. There was an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance seen in children with some forms of congenital heart disease.Objective To assess the possible association between consanguineous marriage and congenital heart disease incidence in the offspring.Methods A case-control study was conducted from March to May 2016 on pediatric patients at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Subjects were allocated into two groups, 100 children with CHD in the case group, and the rest in the control group. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression tests. In the present study, P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results In the case group, 14 patients (14%) were born of consanguineous marriages. In the control group, only 5 patients (5%) were born of consanguineous marriages. There was a significant association between consanguineous marriage and CHD (OR 1.551; 95%CI 1.138 to 2.113). Based on the result of multivariate analysis, consanguineous marriage was a risk factor for CHD in offspring (Wald=4.525; P=0.033).Conclusion  Consanguineous marriage is a risk factor for CHD in offspring.

Introduction: Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) frequently require implantable cardiac devices. Device infection or malfunction may necessitate lead extraction. Extraction may be challenging due to long lead dwell times, anatomic abnormalities, and prior cardiac surgery. Little is known about extraction outcomes in the CHD population. Methods and Results: This retrospective study included 41 CHD patients and 82 age and gender matched controls that underwent lead extractions at two centers between 2001-2014. Only patients with leads older than 12 months were included. There were 79 leads in CHD patients and 150 in controls. Patients with CHD had a mean age of 39±17 years at extraction and on average their leads had been implanted for 81±84 months, this was not significantly different from the control group. Eighty eight percent of CHD patients had 1 or more cardiac surgeries as compared to only 22% of controls (p<0.001). The number of abandoned leads was also significantly different with 16 abandoned leads in the CHD group and 3 in controls (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in extraction techniques between the groups. Complete extraction was achieved in 94% of patients in both groups. There were no CHD group complications. Control group complications included 3 SVC lacerations requiring sternotomy (one was fatal), and 1 ventricular perforations with tamponade requiring sternotomy. None of these patients had a history of cardiac surgery. The average age of leads in patients with a complication was 15.3 years which was older than the mean lead age seen in the CHD and control populations which was 6.75 and 4.6 years respectively. Conclusions: Lead extraction can be safely performed in patients with CHD. Despite anatomic abnormalities and previous cardiac surgery, the outcome of lead extraction in patients with CHD is comparable to controls. Prior cardiac surgery may lower the risk for extraction complications.

The Difference

Background: Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are more prone to thromboembolism. Aspirin is the most commonly used medication around the world to prevent thrombosis in cardiovascular diseases. Objectives: This study aimed to define the frequency of aspirin resistance in pediatric patients with CHD and to evaluate the correlation of clinical and laboratory parameters with aspirin resistance. Methods: The study population consisted of 103 patients using aspirin, including 53 cases of cyanotic CHD and 50 cases of non-cyanotic CHD. Platelet aggregation was measured by the AggreGuide A-100 ADP Assay. Results: The prevalence of aspirin resistance was 36.9% in children with CHD. Although aspirin resistance in cyanotic CHD patients (41.5%) was higher than in non-cyanotic patients (32%), the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.414). There was no significant association between aspirin responsiveness or resistance and the patient’s sex, age, duration of aspirin use, and concomitant medication use. Comparison of the laboratory data of aspirin-responsive and -resistant patients showed no significant difference between these groups, except for albumin (P = 0.032) and serum fibrinogen (P = 0.0001) levels. The fibrinogen level and thromboembolism history were independent risk factors for aspirin resistance. Also, there was a significant correlation between platelet aggregation in peripheral blood smears and aspirin resistance (P = 0.0001). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that measurement of the serum fibrinogen level and platelet aggregation in blood smears may be the first step to predict aspirin resistance.
