Congenital heart defect specific volumetric data in children with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome measured by CMR

چکیده
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 values for RV volumes, mass and function in children with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) in order to be able to consider the defect specific variation.

BACKGROUND HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome) is a serious congenital heart defect. In neonates with congenital heart disease HLHS accounts for nearly 25% of neonatal deaths. The etiology of HLHS is unknown. At present we expect to have those cases diagnosed in the second trimester of pregnancy. AIM The main aim was to find the rate and outcome of the congenital heart defect--left heart h...

INTRODUCTION Congenital heart defects are the most common abnormalities in neonatal age. Congenital heart defects occur with a frequency of 3-12/1000 births. A special group is constituted by children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome because their treatment is extremely complex, requiring three-stage surgery and the involvement of various specialists. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analysed 100 ...
