Post-Nataculation At birth,mechanical expansion of the lungs and an increase in arterial PO2 result in a rapid decrease in pulmonary Postnatal circulation vascular resistance Ligamentum arteriosus The output from the right ventricle Pulmonary flows entirely into the pulmonary artery circulation Pulmonary vein The increased volume of pulmonary blood flow returning to the left atrium increases left atrial volume and pressure sufficiently to close the foramen ovale functionally Ligamentum teres) the high arterial PO,signals constriction of the ductus arteriosus and it closes THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 浙江大学医学院附属儿童医院

Epidemiology of Congenital Heart Disease Congenital heart disease occurs in approximately 8 of 1000 live births About 2-3 out of 1000 total newborn infants will be symptomatic with heart disease in the 1st yr of life THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 浙江大学医学院附属儿童医院

Etiology Congenital heart disease originates from a combination of genetic and environmental causes.The cause of most specific congenital heart defects is still unknown THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 浙江大学医学院附属儿童医院

Genetic Factors: (1)single gene mutation or multifactorial inheritance pattern (2) certain types of VSD (supracristal)are more common in children of Asian background (3) the recurrence risk of congenital heart disease increases from 0.8%to about 2-6%if a 1st degree relative is affected. (4) approximately 3%of patients with congenital heart disease have an identifiable single gene defect,such as Marfan or Noonan syndrome (5)5-8%of patients with congenital heart disease have an associated chromosomal abnormality:90%of trisomy 18, 50%of trisomy 21,40%of Turner syndrome THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 浙江大学医学院附属儿童医院
