ADULT CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE

Stuart Lilley

• More adults than children have congenital heart disease

•Huge variety of congenital lesions from minor to major

• Heart failure, re-operation and arrhythmia are

inevitable in this group of patients

• Good imaging is the key to diagnosis, functional

assessment and effective follow-up

•Know the limitations of the imaging technique

and the imager !!

SHUNT SIZE ESTIMATE

PULMONARY FLOW / SYSTEMIC FLOW

1:1

DOPPLER CALCULATIONS

L-R SHUNTS

Normal heart shunt is 1:1

QP – Pulmonary flow Qs – Systemic flow ASD/VSD means increased Pulmonary blood flow -shunt will be greater than 1 : 1 We then can calculate shunt size from calculating QP and dividing it by QS

AO stroke volume

Mean Velocity x time = stroke distance - SD

Calculate AO root area from Radius (pr ) – AREA

Measure mean velocity

Stroke volume = SD X AREA

SHUNT = SV PA/SV AO

PA stroke volume

• Mean Velocity x time = stroke

distance - SD

• Calculate PA root area from

Radius (pr ) – AREA

• Measure mean velocity

• Stroke volume = SD X AREA

SHUNT = SVPA/SVAO
