Background: Cardiac disease is an important cause of maternal mortality and morbidity both in antepartum and postpartum period. The overall incidence of heart disease in pregnancy is <1%. Objective of present study was to determine maternal outcome in pregnant women with heart diseases in terms of fetal complication, maternal complication and Mode of delivery. Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at PATNA MEDICAL COLLEGE,HOSPITAL,patna. 40 women with heart disease which were previously established or diagnosed during pregnancy were enrolled in the study. Results:In 40 women pregnancies was complicated by heart disease in the study. The prevalence of heart disease amongst all pregnancies found in hospital was 4.3%. The principal cause of cardiac lesion was Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) (62.5%) while congenital heart disease was seen in 12.5%. Among the women who had RHD, mitral stenosis seen in 15 (37.5%) was most common lesion and Multiple cardiac lesions 10 (25%) women. Among the women with congenital cardiac disease, mitral valve prolapse was most common constituting 5 (12.5%) cases. women delivered by caesarean section were14(35%) while 26(65%) had vaginal delivery. with spontaneous onset of labour in 20(50 %)and assisted instrumental vaginal delivered in 6 patients. There was 1 maternal death. No baby had congenital heart disease. 70% babies born weighed more than 2kg. Conclusions:This study concluded that pre- pregnancy diagnosis, counselling, appropriate referral, antenatal supervision and delivery at equipped centre improve the pregnancy with heart disease outcome for both mother and baby

Background: Heart disease complicating pregnancy is an important indirect cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. Maternal heart disease comprises .2%-2% of pregnancies and responsible for 10%-20% of maternal deaths1. Our study was done to evaluate fetomaternal outcomes in pregnancy with heart disease.Objectives: Evaluation of fetomaternal outcome in pregnant patients with cardiac disease. Materials andMethods: This observational study was done in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University and Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Hospital among 51 pregnant women with known or newly diagnosed heart disease from January 2013-january 2015. Baseline data recorded demographic character, NYHA functional class, maternal complications, mode of delivery and neonatal outcome.Results: Among 51 cardiac patients, 32 (63%) were primigravida. Mostly 46 (90.6%) belonging to NYHA Class I and II. Rheumatic heart disease seen in 45 (87%) and congenital heart disease in 10% subjects. Mitral stenosis was the most common, seen in 22 (41%) cases. 47.33% patients were delivered vaginally and LSCS done in 41% patients. The fetal outcome were live births in (96.6%) cases, (27.4%) babies required NICU admission.Conclusion: An improvement in modern techniques of monitoring, better understanding of pathophysiology of cardiac disease and multi disciplinary care can lead to substantial improvement in the feto maternal outcome.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 8, No. 2: Jul 2017, P 112-116

Objective of present study was to determine maternal outcome in pregnant women with heart diseases in terms of fetal complication, maternal complication and Mode of delivery.Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Government Lalla Ded Hospital, an associated of Government Medical College, Srinagar which is the sole tertiary care referral centre in the valley. 90 women with heart disease which were previously established   or diagnosed during pregnancy were enrolled in the study.Results: In 90 women pregnancies was complicated by heart disease in the study. The prevalence of heart disease amongst all pregnancies found in hospital was 4.3%. The principal cause of cardiac lesion was Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) (56.6%) while congenital heart disease was seen in 13.3%. Among the women who had RHD, mitral stenosis seen in 21 (23.3%) was most common lesion and Multiple cardiac lesions 21 (24.4%) women. Among the women with congenital cardiac disease, mitral valve prolapse was most common constituting 5 (5%) cases. Cardiomyopathy was the most common constituting 7 (7.3%). Heart failure developed in 10 (11.1%) whose NYHA class changed from class I/II to class III/IV. Majority of the women delivered by caesarean section 33 (36.7%) while (35.6%) had a normal vaginal delivery with spontaneous onset of labour. 7% had assisted instrumental vaginal delivered.  9% women had first trimester abortion. There were 4 maternal deaths. 85.6% live births were observed in these women. No baby had congenital heart disease.  72.8% babies born weighed more than 2kg.Conclusions: This study concluded that pre- pregnancy diagnosis, counselling, appropriate referral, antenatal supervision and delivery at equipped centre improve the pregnancy with heart disease outcome for both mother and baby.

Background: Congenital cardiac defect is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in our country but maximum cases are undetected due to lack of skill, shortage of man power, modern equipment in peripheral hospitals. But simply observing murmur can give us the clue for underlying congenital heart diseases.Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence and clinical significance of cardiac murmur in neonates in a tertiary level hospital in Rajshahi.Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was done in neonates (age ≤ 28 days) in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2015.Results: during this study period total 4120 neonates were admitted in neonatal ward and only 52 cases were presented with cardiac murmur clinically. Incidence rate of murmur was 1.26%. Among 52 cases 40 cases were having pathological murmur and 12 cases were having innocent murmur. After doing echocardiogram 34 cases were showing structural cardiac defect out of 40 pathological murmur and 4 cases were showing structural cardiac defect out of 12 innocent murmur. Total cases of structural cardiac defect (congenital heart disease) were 38(34+4). So, incidence of congenital heart disease was 9.22/ 1000 live births.Conclusion: Congenital cardiac defect is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in our country but maximum cases are undetected during neonatal period but simply observing murmur can give us the clue for underlying congenital heart diseases in 73.08% cases (38 were congenital heart disease out of 52 cases). If congenital heart disease is early detected and properly managed many valuable lives of neonates can be saved and their growth and development will be smooth.TAJ 2017; 30(2): 54-59

Background: Congenital heart disease is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in the paediatric population of both the developing and developed countries. Variability in incidence and prevalence of CHD from various countries of Indian subcontinent and rest of the world could be because of genetic, cultural, and environmental factors.  The objective of the study was to find the prevalence and pattern of CHD in a tertiary care hospital in Kashmir (Jammu and Kashmir).Methods: All children admitted at territary care hospital with age 0-15 years were screened for congenital heart disease. The study was conducted for period of one year to ascertain the prevalence and spectrum of CHDs.Results: A total of 232 patients out of 23000, were found having CHDs measuring a prevalence of 10.5/1000. About 170 (73%) were the acyanotics, and 62 (27%) were cyanotic heart patients. Among the acyanotic heart diseases ventricular septal defect was the most frequent lesion seen in 54 (23%), followed by patent ductus arteriosus in 50 (22%) children. Among the cyanotic heart diseases tetralogy of Fallot was the most frequent cyanotic heart disease seen in 15 (6.4%) patients.Conclusions: Authors observed high prevalence of CHD in our population. The pattern and spectrum of CHD were comparable to national and international data.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) has already been recognized as one of the important cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. The reported prevalence of CHD in live newborns tends to vary a lot due to various unrecognizable lesions at birth and lack of technical expertise. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Neonatology at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Bangladesh from January to December 2010 to find prevalence of CHD in neonates. Results: Out of 6560 admitted neonates, 51 were found to have CHD. The prevalence was 7.8/1000 live births. Mean age was 10.2±9.8 days and weight was 2380.5±590.5gms. Respiratory distress was the commonest symptom (71%) followed by cyanosis (26%) and reluctant to feed (24%). Among the CHD Ventricular septal defect (VSD) was the commonest 15/51 and then Atrial septal defect (ASD) 12/51, Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) 5/51, Transposition of great arteries ( TGA) 4/51, Complex heart disease 4/51 and Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) 3/51 cases. Some associated non-cardiac anomalies like Down’s syndrome, polydactyly, syndactyly, cleft lip, cleft palate and cataract were found. Risk factors associated with CHD were diabetes mellitus (10%), hypertension (8%) and maternal infection (4%). Among the drugs, anti-pyretic by 20%, anti-emetic by 18%, anti-epileptic by 4%, vitamin-A and hormone each by 2% of mothers respectively. Conclusion: VSD and ASD were the commonest CHD in this study. Thorough clinical examination and proper investigations immediately after admission is essential, which may help us for proper counseling and early intervention.

Congenital heart disease is most common heart disease in children and causes significant morbidity and mortality. This study was done to evaluate the frequency and pattern of congenital heart disease in neonates (age ≤ 28 days) admitted in a tertiary care level hospital. It was a cross-sectional descriptive type of study conducted at the Department of Paediatrics of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2015. Among the 4120 neonates admitted in RMCH in that period, 52 cases had cardiac murmur on auscultation. Incidence of cardiac murmur in the newborn was 1.26%. Clinically, among the 52 cases, 40 cases were thought to have pathological murmur and 12 cases were thought to have innocent murmur. During echocardiography, structural cardiac defect (congenital heart disease) was detected in 38 cases. So, incidence of congenital heart disease was 9.22/ 1000 live births. Remaining 14 cases had normal cardiac anatomy in echocardiography. VSD (12 cases) was the most common type of acyanotic congenital heart disease (23.08%) followed by ASD (11 cases) and PDA (6 cases). Among the cyanotic congenital heart disease, tetralogy of Fallot was the most common abnormality and it was found in 4 cases (7.69%). In this study, parental consanguinity was detected in 4 cases (7.69%). Early diagnosis, timely referral and proper management of congenital heart can save valuable lives and allow normal growth and development. TAJ 2018; 31(2): 35-38

Background: Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are an important cause of mortality and morbidity in children representing a major global health burden. Not much of Indian data is available particularly from this part of the country. So, authors conduct a retrospective study to know the spectrum of congenital heart disease in our set up.Methods: A retrospective hospital based study was carried out in the neonatal intensive care unit of SMGS Hospital, Jammu from January 2017 until December 2017 to see the spectrum of CHD.Results: There were 5552 neonates admitted during the study period out of which 68 were found to have CHD. The prevalence was 12.24 per 1000 admitted neonates. Out of 68 admitted neonates, 41were males (60.3 %) and 27 females (39.7%). Clinically Respiratory distress (51.47%) was the commonest presenting symptom followed by Cyanosis (16.18%), refusal of feed (13.23%) and murmer (10.3%).46 (67.65%) newborn had acyanotic and 22 (32.35%) cyanotic congenital heart lesions. Ventricular septal defect (27.94%) was the commonest acyanotic congenital heart defects whereas Tetrology of Fallot (14.70%) was the commonest cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Cleft lip and Cleft Palate was found in 12.5% followed by Down’s syndrome in 3.57% of cases of newborns with CHD. The mode of delivery was spontaneous in 64.71% followed by Elective LSCS were 23.53% and Emergency LSCS were 11.76%.Conclusions: There is an urgent need for government and non‑government organizations to establish well‑equipped cardiothoracic surgical centers across the country especially in Jammu to cater for children with CHDs.
