Video Summary
This presentation provides an overview of congenital cardiac malformations in children. It discusses the prevalence of these malformations, their association with genetic syndromes, and the presence of extracardiac abnormalities in affected children. The different types of congenital heart disease are explained, including asynotic and cyanotic heart disease, and specific conditions such as ventricular septal defects, coarctation of the aorta, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and total anomalous pulmonary venous return. The diagnostic tools used to evaluate children with congenital heart disease are described, including history taking, physical exams, electrocardiography, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and specialized testing. The management and treatment options for each type of congenital heart disease are discussed, including surgical interventions such as closure of septal defects, repair of coarctation of the aorta, and correction of anomalies in tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great arteries. The presentation also highlights the importance of preoperative and postoperative care for children with congenital heart disease.
