background pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah) is a serious complication of unrepaired congenital left-to-right shunts. the final consequence is right ventricular (rv) systolic dysfunction and reversal of shunt. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical course and paraclinical findings in a group of patients with pah associated with congenital heart disease (pah-chd). we a...

Background & aim: Congenital heart disease is one of the most common malformations at birth that require timely recognition and treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and etiology of detected heart murmurs and association between congenital heart disease and heart murmurs. Recognition of murmurs etiology would help us to manage and treat them properly. Methods: In this...

We are reporting an infant with persistent abnormal liver function, neonatal jaundice, and intermittent hypoglycemia. Evaluation confirmed congenital hypopituitarism, in the absence of congenital anomalies and midline defect. His jaundice and abnormal liver function improved after treatment with Levothyroxine and hydrocortisone.

lutembacher syndrome refers to the rare combination of a congenital atrial septal defect and acquired mitral stenosis. traditionally, lutembacher syndrome has been corrected by surgical treatment. we describe two patients treated percutaneouly with a combined inoue balloon valvuloplasty and septal defect closure using the amplatzer septal occlusion device.

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a prevalent disorder, which is associated with several other congenital anomalies, especially cardiac diseases. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) in the neonates with CH.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on two groups of 79 subjects to compare the type and frequency of congenital ca...

Gerbode defect is a rare shunt between the left ventricule and right atrium. The etiology typically congenital. infravalvular type most common. congenital defects are believed to close by forming an aneurysmal pouch through incorporating adjacent tricuspid valve tissue. Endocarditis responsible for this re-opening defect. Diagnosis based on transesophageal echocardiography. Surgical closure dem...

BACKGROUND Atrial septal defect often become more severe when encountered in genetic syndromes. Congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a is an inherited metabolic disorder associated with mutations in PMM2 gene and can affect almost all organs. Cardiac abnormalities vary greatly in congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a and congenital heart defects have already been reported, but ther...
