Congenital heart defect specific volumetric data in children with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome measured by CMR
Background For each congenital heart defect (CHD) knowledge of morphological and functional variations is crucial in order to assess an individual case and initiate specific therapy, if necessary. Specific data are widely lacking. CMR-based values exist only for left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) volumes of children and adults with normal anatomy. Therefore, we sought to provide v...
متن کاملHypoplastic left heart syndrome
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) refers to the abnormal development of the left-sided cardiac structures, resulting in obstruction to blood flow from the left ventricular outflow tract. In addition, the syndrome includes underdevelopment of the left ventricle, aorta, and aortic arch, as well as mitral atresia or stenosis. HLHS has been reported to occur in approximately 0.016 to 0.036% of...
متن کاملHypoplastic left-heart syndrome.
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome may be accurately diagnosed during fetal life. Prenatal diagnosis provides the opportunity for parents to make an informed choice about their options, including surgery, nonintervention postnatally or termination of pregnancy. Short to medium term survival continues to improve for a condition that was previously invariably lethal. There continues to be a signific...
متن کاملBeyond Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: The Spectrum of Congenital Heart Disease Associated with Left Ventricular Hypoplasia
Left ventricular hypoplasia complicates other forms of congenital heart disease in addition to the classic ‘‘hypoplastic left heart syndrome.’’ Within this heterogeneous group, subtle anatomic differences determine surgical management and ultimate prognosis. Thus, an individualized approach is necessary to optimize outcomes in this complex population.
متن کاملSurvival of Children With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
OBJECTIVE To examine the survival of infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and potential influence of demographic and clinical characteristics on survival using population-based data. METHODS Infants with nonsyndromic HLHS (n = 212) born between 1979 and 2005 were identified through the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program. Vital status was ascertained through 2009 ba...
