Evolution of heart disease in utero

Pediatric Cardiology
J Trines, L K Hornberger

Abstract

Cardiac embyogenesis occurs in the first 6 to 7 weeks of human development. Although it is during this time that many of the major cardiovascular defects develop, many of these lesions continue to evolve and others develop in the latter half of gestation. There may be development or progression of ventricular inflow or outflow tract and arch obstruction, and ventricular or great artery hypoplasia. There may be progressive antrioventricular or semi-lunar valve regurgitation which can compromise the fetal circulation. There may be development of dysrhythmias, primary myocardial disease and heart failure. The fetal shunts, the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus, may change in form and function. Finally, cardiac tumors may develop, grow, or regress. Knowledge of the mechanisms of and potential for progression in fetal heart disease is critical for counseling regarding prognosis and for planning of prenatal and neonatal management.

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.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
