This document discusses congenital heart disease in adults. It notes that 1 million adults in the US have congenital heart disease, with 20,000 more reaching adulthood each year due to increased survival of children with CHD. Common adult presentations of CHD include effort dyspnea, atrial fibrillation, and right heart failure. The document reviews the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic evaluation, and management of various CHD lesions that may present in adulthood, such as atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, tetralogy of Fallot, Ebstein's anomaly, and coarctation of the aorta. Surgical and percutaneous interventions are discussed
Some babies with tricuspid atresia have other conditions, such as pulmonary stenosis or transposition of the great arteries, that also affect blood flow through their heart. These conditions require treatment, too.

A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart. It is present at birth. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect. The defects can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart. They can disrupt the normal flow of blood through the heart. The blood flow can slow down, go in the wrong direction or to the wrong place, or be blocked completely.
Doctors use a physical exam and special heart tests to diagnose congenital heart defects. They often find severe defects during pregnancy or soon after birth. Signs and symptoms of severe defects in newborns include
Rapid breathing
Cyanosis - a bluish tint to the skin, lips, and fingernails
Fatigue
Poor blood circulation
Many congenital heart defects cause few or no signs and symptoms. They are often not diagnosed until children are older.
Many children with congenital heart defects don't need treatment, but others do. Treatment can include medicines, catheter procedures, surgery, and heart transplants. The treatment depends on the type of the defect, how severe it is, and a child's age, size, and general health.
Transposition of the great arteries is a serious but rare heart defect present at birth (congenital), in which the two main arteries leaving the heart are reversed (transposed). The condition is also called dextro-transposition of the great arteries.
A cyanotic heart defect is a group-type of congenital heart defects (CHDs). The patient appears blue (cyanotic), due to deoxygenated blood bypassing the lungs and entering the systemic circulation. This can be caused by right-to-left or bidirectional shunting, or malposition of the great arteries.
Cyanotic heart defects, which account for approximately 25% of all CHDs, include:
Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF)
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)
Transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA)
Truncus arteriosus (Persistent)
Tricuspid atresia
Interrupted aortic arch
Pulmonary atresia (PA)
Pulmonary stenosis (critical)
Eisenmenger syndrome(Reversal of Shunt due to Pulmonary Hypertension) .
Patent ductus arteriosus may cause cyanosis in late stage.

A "hole" in the wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart.
This defect allows oxygen-rich blood to leak into the oxygen-poor blood chambers in the heart. ASD is a defect in the septum between the heart's two upper chambers (atria). The septum is a wall that separates the heart's left and right sides

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities.

2. US: 1,000,000 adults with congenital heart dz
20,000 more patients reach adolescents yearly
Incidence increasing due to increased survival
of children with CHD
3. Genetic : as in downs , noonans , holt-
oram, williams etc
Environmental : maternal rubella , drugs
like thalidomide , isotretinoin
4. Hyperviscosity syndrome : headache ,
dizziness , nausea , paresthesias due to
increased erythrocytosis bcoz of
cyanosis
Bleeding tendencies
Paradoxical embolisation , brain abscess
Proteinuria , hyperuricemia
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy causing
arthralgias and bone pain
6. 4 possibilities:
1..if ecg reveals LAD of >30 deg :
suggests ostium primum defect
2..pt may hav a floppy mitral valve
3..ostium secundum defect assoc with
rheumatic MR
4..secundum ASD rarely assoc with cleft
mitral valve
7. • Effort dyspnea is seen in 30% of patients
by 3rd
decade and over 75% of patients by
the fifth decade
• SVT (atrial fibrillation or flutter) and right-
sided heart failure develop by age 40 in
10-20% of patients
8. • The chest radiograph shows large pulmonary arteries, increased
pulmonary vascularity, an enlarged RA and RV, and a small aortic
knob with all pre-tricuspid cardiac left-to-right shunts.
9. Percutaneous Closure
• only for secundum (contra in others)
• adequate superior/inferior rim around ASD
Surgical Closure
• Good prognosis:
closure age < 25, PA pressure <40
If >25 or PA>40, decreased survival due to CHF,
stroke, and afib
10. First described by roger in 1879
Term” maladie de roger” : refers to small
asymptomatic VSD
11. Most common CHD in children (25%)
Isolated VSD found in only 10% of adults
with CHD
75-80% of small VSD’s close spontaneously
by late childhood
10-15% of large VSD’s close spontaneously
60% of defects close before age 3, and 90%
before age 8
Risk factors for decreased survival for
unoperated patients include:
• Cardiomegaly on CXR, Elevated PASP (>50
mmHg), and CV symptoms
12. Perimembranous defect (70-80%)
• Less likely to be associated with other defects
• Highest rate of spontaneous closure
Muscular or apical defects (5-20%)
• Typically occur in isolation
• High spontaneous closure rates unless multiple defects r present
AV-Canal type (5-8%)
• Rarely close spontaneously, commonly seen in Trisomy 21
• Usually large & associated with abnormal AV valve
Supracristal or subaortic defects (5-7%)
• Often small but need closure due to associated AR
13. Arterial pulse is often normal
There may be a systolic thrill on palpation of the
precordium (maximal in lt 3rd
or 4th
ICS)
Holosystolic, high frequency murmur (grade 4-
6/6) with small VSD and normal PAP
Once PAP increases above the systemic
pressures the holosystolic murmur disappears
Increase flow across pulmonary valve causes a
SEM
A loud P2 component is heard in this setting
14. May be normal but often shows LVH and LAE
Presence of RAD represents elevated RVP and PAP
Postoperative RBBB is common
15. Cardiomegaly with LAE and LVE will be seen with large L to R shunts
A large defect associated with a small heart and oligemic lung fields
should raise the suspicion of pulmonary vascular disease
16. Hemodynamic severity grading of isolated VSDs in
adults:
• Small: Qp:Qs <1.4, and pulmonary to aortic systolic pressure
<0.3
• Moderate: Qp:Qs = 1.4-2.2, and systolic pressure ratio >0.3
• Large: Qp:Qs >2.2, and systolic pressure ratio >0.3
• Eisenmenger: Qp:Qs <1.5 and systolic pressure ratio >0.9
17. Clinical severity grading:
• Small: Causes negligible hemodynamic changes. LV size normal
w/o PHTN
• Moderate: Causes LV and LA enlargment, and usually some
PHTN (reversible)
• Large: Results in pulmonary vascular obstructive disease and
Eisenmenger physiology unless there is coexistent RVOTO
18. When repair is performed in the first two years of life,
asymptomatic adult survival with normal growth and
development can be anticipated
When surgery is undertaken in older children, a late
postopeartive increase in LV chamber size, together with
decreased systolic function is seen
Development of late postoperative PHTN is largely
determined by the age at surgery and preoperative PVR
Risk of SBE persists and requires prophylaxis
19. Indications for intervention: Geade C, Level IV
• Presence of a significant VSD (symptomatic QP/QS = 2/1, PASP
> 50 mmHg), deteriorating ventricular fx due to volume (LV) or
pressure (RV) overload
• Significant RVOTO (pk to pk gradient of > 50 mmHg, or
instantaneous gradient >70 mmHg)
• Perimembranous or doubly committed VSD with more than mild
AR
• Hx of endocarditis especially if recurrent
20. Successful closure is associated with excellent survival if
ventricular fx is normal. Elevated PAP preop may
progress, regress, or remain the same postop
A. fib may occur, especially if there has been
longstanding volume overload of the left heart
Pregnancy is well tolerated in women with small or
moderate VSD and in women with repaired VSD
Pregnancy is contraindicated in women with
Eisenmenger syndrome due to both high maternal
(>50%) and fetal (~60%) mortality
24. OBSTRUCTION TO FLOW OF
DEOXYGENATED BLOOD FROM
THE RIGHT VENTRICLE TO THE
PULMONARY ARTERY
DECREASED OXYGENATION DUE
TO POOR PERFUSION OF THE
BLOOD
ALTERED PHYSIOLOGYALTERED PHYSIOLOGY
25. Rt-lt shunting across vsd
Degree of cyanosis reflects the severity
of RVOTO and level of SVR
Severity of cyanosis is directly
propotional to severity of pulmonic
stenosis
26. MORE SHUNTING ACROSS THE VSD
– MORE DESATURATION OF
SYSTEMIC BLOOD – PERIPHERAL
ACIDOSIS – FUTHER SYSTEMIC
VASODILATATION – FURTHER
DECREASE IN SVR – VICIOUS CYCLE
27. Variable cyanosis
Rt ventricular impulse and systolic thrill
along left sternal border
Repaired
• RVOT obstruction
• Pulmonary or tricuspid regurgitation
• LV/RV dysfunction
• Atrial/ventricular arrhythmias
Unrepaired
• Significant morbidity
• Consider later repair
28. Since rt ventricle is effectively
decompressed by VSD , CCF never
occurs....exceptions to this rule are:
1.anemia
2.infective endocarditis
3.syst HTN
4. aortic or pulm.Valve regurgitation
29. ECG: shows rt axis deviation with rt
ventricular and rt atrial hypertrophy
With repaired TOF : complete RBBB is the
rule
QRS width : reflects degree of rt
ventricular dilation, when >180
millisec,is a risk factor for sustained VT
CHEST XRAY : COEUR EN SABOT
30. ONLY SURGICAL

Age at presentation varies
from
childhoodadulthood and
depends on factors such as
severity of TR, Pulm
Vascular resistance in
newborn, and associated
abnormalities such as ASD
33.
34.
35. Commonly associated with:
• ASD or PFO (90%)
• VSD, AV canal defect
• Pulmonary stenosis/atresia (20-25%)
• Wolff-Parkinson-White
Syndromes:
• Down, Marfan, Noonan, Cornelia de Lange
36. Heart sounds
• First heart sound widely split with loud tricuspid
component
• Second heart sound usually is normal but may
be widely split due to RBBB
• Third and fourth heart sounds commonly present
Murmurs
• Holosystolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation
37. Cyanosis
• Due to R L shunt at atrial level
Fatigue and dyspnea
• Secondary to RV failure and decreased LV
ejection fraction
Palpitations and sudden cardiac death
Incidental murmur
Paradoxic embolism
38. Due to right atrial enlargement and high
prevalence of accessory pathways
30-50% have evidence of WPW
secondary to the atrialized RV tissue
Mapping and ablation are difficult
• Atrial dilation disrupts anatomic landmarks
• Accessory pathways are often multiple
39.
40. Low voltage
Peaked p waves in lead 2 and v1: reflect
rt atrial enlargement
Prolonged PR interval
RBBB common in adults
42. Narrowing in proximal descending aorta
May be long/tubular but most commonly
discrete ridge
Natural hx: poor prognosis if unrepaired
• Aortic Aneurysm/dissection
• CHF
• Premature CADz
43. Pathophysiology
Narrowed aorta produces increased left
ventricular afterload and wall stress, left
ventricular hypertrophy, and congestive
heart failure.
Systemic perfusion is dependent on the
ductal flow and collateralization in severe
coarctation
44. Associated pathology
1. Collateral circulation
* Inflow : primary from branches of both subclavian arteries
. internal mammary artery . vertebral artery
. costocervical trunk . thyrocervical trunk
* Outflow : into descending aorta, two pairs of intercostal
arteries
2. Aneurysm formation of intercostal arteries
* 3rd, & 4th rib notching * rare before 10 years of age
3. Coronary artery dilatation and tortuosity
* due to LVH
4. Aortic valve
* bicuspid (27-45%) * stenosis ( 6 - 7%)
5. Intracranial aneurysm
* berry type intracranial aneurysm in some patients
6. Associated cardiac anomaly
* 85% of neonates presenting COA
45.
46. Most repaired, but adult presentation may be:
• Upper limb HTN
• murmur (continuous or systolic murmur heard
in back or SEM/ejection click of bicuspid AV)
weak/delayed LE pulses
Interscapular systolic murmur and widespread
crescendo-decrescendo murmurs due to
collaterals
Rib notching on CXR pathognomonic
ECG : shows RV hypertrophy, rt axis deviation
47.
48. Despite surgery, patients still have significant
morbidity/mortality with average age 38
Up to 70% of repaired patients still go on to
develop HTN, pathology not well understood
Recurrence in 8-54% of repairs, can undergo
repeat surgery or balloon angioplasty
Aortic Aneurysm/ruputure may occur despite
successful repair and correction of HTN (freq
around anastomosis site on patch repair – 30%
in one study)
