Etiologic relations among categories of congenital heart malformations

The American Journal of Cardiology
F C Fraser, A D Hunter

Abstract

Pairs of siblings with congenital heart malformations of different types were analyzed for evidence of nonrandom association of defects within families that might suggest a genetic predisposition common to two or more kinds of malformations. An excess of pairs was noted for tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great vessels, and tetralogy of Fallot and ventricular septal defect, thus suggesting that there may be a developmental relation between these lesions. This finding is supported by a recent study in the Keeshond dog demonstrating a genetic predisposition common to tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary stenosis and ventricular septal defect. Thus the method does seem capable of revealing etiologic relations, probably genetic, among different types of cardiac lesions. Data on risks of recurrence for siblings of children with these defects will now have to be refined to take into account the possible recurrence of related lesions.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
