- Background. A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common form of congenital heart disease and is one of the most common cardiovascular anomalies in individuals with chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome. However, the frequency of a chromosome 22q11 deletion in patients with a VSD is not known.

Heart Defects and Down Syndrome Of those children with Down syndrome who are born with congenital heart disease, an antrioventricular septal defect is the most common. In less severe cases, Ventricular Septal Defects and Atrial Septal Defects can also occur separately. The ductus arteriosus is a channel between the pulmonary artery and the aorta.

Atrial septal defect The ostium secundum atrial septal defect is the most common type of atrial septal defect, and comprises 6–10% of all congenital heart diseases. The secundum atrial septal defect usually arises from an enlarged foramen ovale, inadequate growth of the septum secundum, or excessive absorption of the septum primum.

Congenital anomalies 1 The most common severe congenital anomalies are heart defects, neural tube defects and Down syndrome. 2  Although congenital anomalies may be genetic, infectious, nutritional or environmental in origin, most often it is difficult to identify the exact causes. 3  Some congenital anomalies can be prevented.

Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs) 1 Mutations – Several mutations can affect the formation of the heart and lead to congenital heart malformations such as atrial septal defect (a hole between the upper chambers of the heart).  Linked with other birth defects – More than one-third of children born with Down syndrome have heart defects.

- If a baby is born with a part of the body that is missing or malformed, it is called a structural birth defect. Heart defects are the most common type of structural defect. Others include spina bifida, cleft palate, clubfoot, and congenital dislocated hip. When there is a problem with a baby's body chemistry, it is called a metabolic birth defect.

Congenital Heart Defects - Topic Overview Most congenital heart defects affect how blood flows through the heart or through the blood vessels near the heart. Some defects may cause blood to flow in a pattern that isn't normal. Others can completely or partially block blood flow. There are many different types of congenital heart defects. They can be fairly simple, such as a hole between the chambers of the heart or a heart valve that has not formed right. Others are more serious and complex, such as a missing heart valve or heart chamber.

Truncus Arteriosus Another congenital heart defect that nearly always occurs with truncus arteriosus is a ventricular septal defect (a hole in the dividing wall (septum) between the two lower chambers of the heart known as the right and left ventricles).lick Image to Enlarge. Truncus arteriosus is a congenital (present at birth) defect that occurs due to abnormal development of the fetal heart during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy.

ventricular septal defect Ventricular septal defect facts. 1  VSD is a hole in the wall (septum) separating the ventricles of the heart. 2  VSD is the most common type of heart malformation present at birth (congenital heart disease). 3  VSD lets blood shunt from the left ventricle to the right ventricle.  VSD can overwork the heart.

Congenital heart defect A congenital heart defect, also known as a congenital heart anomaly or congenital heart disease, is a problem in the structure of the heart that is present at birth. Signs and symptoms depend on the specific type of problem. Symptoms can vary from none to life-threatening. When present they may include rapid breathing, bluish skin, poor weight gain, and feeling tired. It does not cause chest pain. Most congenital heart problems do not occur with other diseases. Complications that can result from

Fact Sheets How common are congenital heart defects? 1  Congenital heart defects are the most common birth defects. 2  Each year approximately 40,000 babies are born in the United States with a congenital heart defect.  Approximately two to three million individuals are thought to be living in the United States with CHDs.

- Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting 1-2% of the population. It is generally diagnosed late in adulthood when deterioration of the abnormal leaflet becomes clinically evident.

- Some of the genetic syndromes associated with a higher incidence of heart defects include, but are not limited to, the following: 1  Marfan syndrome. 2  Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. 3  Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. 4  Holt-Oram syndrome. 5  Noonan syndrome. 6  Mucopolysaccharidoses.

Heart Murmur 1 Abnormal heart murmurs are caused by a heart condition, often a congenital defect (a structural problem present at birth) in children or heart valve disease in adults.  Heart murmurs are common in children and often part of normal development — roughly 30 percent of children will have a murmur at some point.

- Infants with transposition of the great arteries are cyanotic at birth and often have congestive heart failure. Associated defects such as an atrial septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus, which permit the mixing of blood from the two circuits, are necessary for the infant's survival.n infants with cyanotic defects, the primary concern is hypoxia. The most common defects associated with cyanosis are tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great arteries. These nine lesions constitute 85 percent of all congenital heart defects. 9 Table 1 highlights some of the features of these lesions.

- Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) affects approximately one to two percent of people. It is the most common congenital heart disorder, impacting both the aortic valve (which controls the flow of blood into the aorta) and the thoracic aorta (the major vessel that sends blood throughout the body).

Congenital heart defects and CCHD Critical congenital heart disease (also called CCHD) is group of the seven most severe congenital heart defects. They may affect the shape of a baby’s heart, the way it works, or both. Babies with CCHD need treatment within the first few hours, days or months of life. Without treatment, CCHD can be deadly. Nearly 1 in 100 babies (about 1 percent or 40,000 babies) is born with a heart defect in the United States each year.
