Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Dr. Ravi Theogarajan provides an overview of congenital heart disease in children. He discusses the epidemiology, general approach to diagnosis, circulation, and management of common forms of congenital heart disease. Dr. Theogarajan emphasizes the importance of recognizing that congenital heart disease is often a component of genetic syndromes and may also be associated with extracardiac anomalies. He mentions specific genetic syndromes that are commonly associated with congenital heart disease, such as Down syndrome and DiGeorge syndrome. Dr. Theogarajan explains the importance of taking a history, performing a physical exam, and using specific tests, such as echocardiography and cardiac catheterization, in the evaluation and diagnosis of congenital heart disease. He discusses several common forms of congenital heart disease, including atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, coarctation of the aorta, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and total anomalous pulmonary venous return. Dr. Theogarajan also explains the management and surgical interventions for these conditions. Lastly, he briefly mentions other forms of congenital heart disease, including single ventricle congenital heart disease and vascular rings.
