Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Pulmonary Hypertension in Congenital Heart Disease" by Greg Latham, MD.

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about pulmonary hypertension in congenital heart disease.

Pulmonary hypertension is a serious condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which can lead to heart failure and other complications. In congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension can develop as a result of structural abnormalities in the heart and lungs.

Fetal Circulation Course of the oxygenated umbilical vein blood:  bypasses liver via ductus venosus  mixes with IVC  eustachian valve shunts towards PFO  LA  LA  LV  aortic valve  head and neck arteries Therefore, oxygenated blood from the umbilical vein perfuses the brain and coronary arteries by shunting across the liver (via the ductus venosus) and shunting across the right heart (via the foramen ovale) See diagram on next slide

Slide 8-

Fetal Circulation Desaturated SVC blood from the fetal brain takes a different course: SVC RA  tricuspid valve (not to PFO)  pulmonary valve  ductus arteriosus  descending aorta  back to placenta for oxygenation See diagram on next slide

Slide 11-

Transitional Circulation - PFO Transitional circulation begins when umbilical cord is clamped and lungs are inflated Cord clamping removes the low resistance placenta from the circulation and raises SVR Lung inflation and increased PaO2 lowers PVR dramatically, causing increased pulmonary blood flow and increased blood return to the left atrium pLA > pRA  closes the flap of tissue covering the PFO Functional closure occurs quickly but anatomic closure usually requires weeks. A PFO that is probe patent persists in approximately 25% of adults
Slide 12-

Transitional Circulation - PDA The ductus arteriosus remains patent in utero due to hypoxia, mild acidosis and placental prostaglandins. Removal of these factors after delivery causes functional closure with anatomic closure occurring weeks later Persistent PDA often occurs in premature infants with lung disease. Indomethacin, via its anti-prostaglandin action can be used to try and close a PDA Before anatomic closure of the PDA and PFO, pRA > pLA can cause reversion to fetal circulation (R  L shunt and cyanosis) Hypothermia, hypercarbia, acidosis, hypoxia and sepsis can all cause a reversion to fetal circulation

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
Slide 14-

PAH Definition
Slide 15-

PAH Classification The classification of adult & peds PAH is big In young children, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) and CHD are the primary causes (>80%) Idiopathic PAH, although less common, is an important cause in children Simonneau, G., et al. (2013). Updated Clinical Classification of Pulmonary Hypertension. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 62(25), D34–D41.
Slide 16-

Why Does PAH Occur in Children?  pLA LV systolic/diastolic dysfunction MV or AV stenosis/regurgitation Pulmonary vein obstruction  pulmonary blood flow Congenital heart disease with L  R shunt  PVR Pulmonary parenchymal disease Thromboembolic disease
Slide 17-

PAH Associated with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)
Slide 18-

CHD-associated PAH PAH is major acquired complication of CHD with L  R shunts PAH causes increased morbidity and mortality PAH may prevent complete repair in those with advanced pulmonary vascular disease 15%-30% of the CHD population is thought to develop at least transient PAH Kidd L, Driscoll DJ, Gersony WM, et al.

Slide 19-

Cause of CHD-associated PAH L  R shunt Increases pulmonary blood flow, leading to pulmonary vascular injury and shear stress, then Leads to progressive smooth muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia, intimal proliferation, and pulmonary vasoconstriction Open Access License: Tian X, Vroom C, Ghofrani HA, et al.

Slide 20-

Cause of CHD-associated PAH Risk factors for PAH in children with CHD: Type of defect: High risk: truncus arteriosus, AV canal, TGA with VSD Almost 100% risk if untreated Moderate risk: VSD (risk of Eisenmenger’s syndrome if untreated: 3% when <1.5cm; 50% when >1.5cm), PDA Low risk: ASD, PAPVR Pressure and flow of LR shunt Presence of associated noncardiac syndromes (especially Down syndrome)
Slide 21-

When Does CHD-PAH Develop? The age at which congenital heart lesions cause irreversible pulmonary vascular disease varies Endothelial changes occur as early as 2 months after birth in some children with increased pulmonary blood flow The type of CHD matters; combination of high pressure and high flow causes more rapid and severe remodeling Clinical onset ranges from as early as 4-6 months in CAVC or truncus arteriosus to never in small ASDs or VSDs The pulmonary vascular remodeling process is reversible in the early stages of the disease
Slide 22-

Eisenmenger Syndrome (ES) The most severe form of CHD-associated PAH Definition: “CHD with an initial large systemic-to-pulmonary shunt that induces progressive pulmonary vascular disease and PAH, with resultant reversal of the shunt and central cyanosis” When shunt reversal occurs, symptoms include: Cyanosis, dyspnea, fatigue, dizziness, syncope, and arrhythmia Poor exercise tolerance Life expectancy is markedly reduced Lee J, Kwon HM, Hong BK, et al.

Slide 23-

Conclusion CHD is a frequent and important cause of PAH in children. Early repair of congenital cardiac lesions with intensive postoperative care is the best strategy to prevent the development of progressive PAH in CHD. Once PAH develops, aggressive medical treatment ensues in the hopes of reversibility. Chronic PAH increase morbidity and mortality, and anesthetic management must be carefully considered!
