Congenital Heart Disease
Definition:
Etiology:
1. Idiopathic: Most common cause
2. teratogenic Drugs in 1st 3 months of pregnancy
- e.g.: Aspirin All congenital Heart except Patent Ductus
- e.g.: Warfarine Lithium carbonate(antidepressant)
3. Irradiation.
4. Congenital Infections TORSCH.
-e.g.: Rubella Patent Ductus
5. Chromosomal Disorders:
-e.g.: Downs syndrome Common A.V canal
Trisomy 13 Midline defects(ASD,VSD,PDA)
Turners Coarctation of aorta
Nonan syndrome pulmonary stenosis
Marfans syndrome Aortic incompetence
6. Maternal Diseases:
- e.g.: Diabetes uncontrolled(as monosaccharides can pass throw placenta causing
fetal hyperglycemia &so multiple congenital anomalies) -SLE
7. Gene factor: Common in certain families
Multifactorial inheritance
Clinical Picture:
A- Complaint
very very important:
1.Asymptomatic Accidentally discovered
2.Congestive Lung symptoms:
Plethora ( Rt )
Congestion ( Lt )
- Dry cough(cong of alveolar wall)
- Expectoration(cong of mucus membrane)
- Dyspnea(++ heart rate due to hypoxia)
- Orthopnea
- Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea(dominant parasympathetic & so
,bronchospasm)
- Hemoptysis
3.Palpitations: awareness of Heart beats
- Change power of contraction or heart rate

- Intercostals (LRT) Retraction in intercostals & subcostal
To +++ transverse diameter
- Trapezius & sternomastoid (URT)

Bulge
Air: Tension pneumothorax (Pleura G4 ), unilateral emphysema
Fluid: Pleural effusion (masses)
N.B: All types of effusion are unilateral except traumatic bilateral
B. PALPATION:
1- Position of mediastinum (detected by position of trachea)
2- Palpable sounds
3- Tactile vocal fremitus
(1) Position of mediastinum: centralized, pushed to , attracted to .
- Pushed by (to opposite side) causes of unilateral bulge
- Attracted by (to the same side) causes of unilateral retraction
(2) Palpable sound:
- Wheezes "Ronchi"
- Pleural rub "Dry pleurisy" NF G4 ( 9O
(3) TVF: corporative examination of both sides (Laryngeal sound 44 6

- by all lung diseases except:
o Consolidation (pneumonia)
o Lobar collapse
C. PERCUSSION:

D. AUSCULTATION:
1- Air entry
2- Breath sounds
3- Adventitial sounds
(1) Air entry:
- in all diseases except bronchitis
- Detect if there's unilateral pathology
(2) Breath sounds:
a) Vesicular (Normal)
b) Harsh vesicular: all diseases except (Bronchial causes)
- Inelastic alveoli
- Airway Obstruction
- Normal till 1-2 days
c) Bronchial: occur in Pneumonia ( alveoli secretion)
Collapse (no air inside)
Mass
So become solid mass & heard only from near by bronchioles
(3) Adventitial sounds: very very very important table

C) Bl. Gases to detect if respiratory failure
D) Specific investigations according to every disease
Treatment:
If respiratory distress:
Hospitalization O2 therapy
Complete rest

Renal Failure
Functions of the kidney:
1. Endocrinal function
2. Excretory function
3. Power of Conc. & Dilatation
1. Endocrinal Function:
1. Erythropoietin formation of RBCs
2. Activation of Vit D, I need 2 OH group one of them from liver at carbon atom &
from 25 hydroxycalciferol, The other OH from kidney to form 1,25
dihydroxycalciferol Active form of Vit D & act as a hormone
3. Release of Renin from Juxtaglomerular apparatus cells at the end of afferent
arterioles it increases Bl. Pr by Renin-Angiotensin system By:
o VC of peripheral vessels Increase resistance Increase Diastolic Pr
o Angiotensin cause release of Aldosterone from suprarenal Salt & Water
retention Hypervolemia Hypertension
2. Excretory function:

b) Dry Pleurisy
c) Uremic Breathing
o CVS:
a) Heart: Cardiomyopathy HF
b) Pericardium: Dry pericarditis
c) HTN
o Hematology:
a) RBCs: Deformity of Cell membrane Hemolytic anaemia
b) Platelets: Decrease of cyclo-oxygenase enzyme Thrombo-asthenia
c) Cholesterol: Decrease of Lipo-ptn lipase enzyme
Hypercholesterolemia
o CNS: In Advanced cases
a) Irritation of chemoreceptor trigger zone Vomiting
b) Suppression of Reticular formation coma of disturbed level of
consciousness
2.Acidotic material: 1 Retention of it & so 2 Excretion of bicarbonate in urine
metabolic acidosis & alkaline urine.
Metabolic acidosis body try to correct pH by 1 Stimulation of respiratory
center rapid & deep respiration (air hunger) to excrete CO2 (acidic), 2 +++
bicarbonate in blood by release Ca- carbonate from bone (milking of bone)
so (Osteomalacia OR Rickets). /0

Minor toxins:
1. Urochrome pigment:
From degradation of melanin pigment, excreted only through urine, giving its
yellow colour.
In Renal failure:
Not excreted in urine causing white colour of urine.
Inc. level of it in blood causing yellow colour of skin (like anemia) but not
improve with blood transfusion give the earthy look colour.
2. Phenol:
Excreted only by kidney.
Aluminum toxicity:
Neuropsychiatric disorders depression, anxiety, Alzheimer.
Depression of bone marrow pancytopenia.
In renal failure:
Destruction of all receptors plasma come out as urine without any change
Urine specific gravity becomes as plasma (1010).
