Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Congenital heart disease" by Dr Kasia Piróg.

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Congenital heart disease.

Congenital heart disease refers to a group of structural abnormalities of the heart or its major blood vessels that are present at birth. It is one of the most common types of birth defects, affecting about 1% of all live births.

There are many different types of congenital heart defects, which can range from simple defects that may not cause any significant symptoms or problems to complex defects that can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Some common types of congenital heart defects include atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of the great arteries.

Transcript

Slide 1-

Congenital heart disease Dr Kasia Piróg IGM, Newcastle University
Slide 2-

Congenital = present from birth 9 in 1,000 babies born in the UK in many cases it is a minor problem which either doesn't need any treatment or can be successfully corrected with surgery causes: chromosome defects, such as Down's syndrome – a genetic disorder that affects a baby's normal physical development and causes learning difficulties other chromosome and genetic defects, which can be inherited certain infections in the mother, such as rubella, during pregnancy the mother having poorly managed diabetes
Slide 3-

How do we detect it? A number of symptoms, including: rapid heartbeat rapid breathing excessive sweating extreme tiredness and fatigue a blue tinge to the skin (cyanosis) tiredness and rapid breathing when a baby is feeding Note: mild defects may not cause any problems until later in life
Slide 4-

How does it happen? GENE 2ND GENE switch other genes on or off
Slide 5-

Types of congenital heart disorders hole in the heart – between two of the heart's chambers (septal defect) narrowing of the aorta – the main large artery of the body, called the aorta, is narrower than normal (coarctation) narrowing of the valve, which controls the flow of blood out of heart to the lungs(pulmonary valve stenosis) the pulmonary artery and the aorta swap places (transposition of the great arteries)
Slide 6-

Dextrocardia Less than 1% of the population Isolated or situs inversus Inversus Solitus
Slide 7-

Situs inversus – how?
Slide 8-

Cilia and human disease Hum. Mol. Genet. (2003) 12 (suppl 1): R27-R35
Slide 9-

“Blue baby syndrome” Tetralogy of Fallot (tetralogy = fourfold) most common cause of “blue baby syndrome” narrowing at or below the pulmonary valve = blood has difficulty getting from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery (pulmonary stenosis) a hole in the wall between the right and left ventricles of the heart = mixing of blood (ventricular septal defect (VSD) ) the entrance to the aorta, which should only take oxygenated blood around the body, lies over the ventrical hole = deoxygenated blood gets into the aorta (over-riding aorta) right ventricle becomes thickened as it forces blood into the narrowed pulmonary artery (right ventricular hypertrophy)
Slide 10-

Tetralogy of Fallot
Slide 11-

Causes and treatment of TOF Symptoms: children with tetralogy of Fallot may develop "tet spells“ characterized by a sudden, marked increase in cyanosis followed by fainting these may result in hypoxic brain injury and death Treatment: TOF is treated with corrective surgery, usually within the first year of life, but presents with long-term problems Cause is currently unknown: several genes have been associated with TOF DiGeorge syndrome (chromosome 22 deletions)
Slide 12-

Finding the unknown genes
Slide 13-

Finding the unknown genes Exome sequencing of DNA from families with CHD Which are the important genes? Which genes are more likely to be mutated, copied or deleted in CHD patients and their families? Are the mutations going to stop the protein from working properly?
