Some clinical aspects
“paediatric and adolescent accent”
 Classification (modified for simplicity)
 cyanotic - with ↑ pulm blood flow
- with ↓ pulm blood flow
- unclassifyiable – ebsteins/ TGA IVS
 acyanotic – largely shunt lesions
 stenotic - outflow & arterial obstructions
Cyanosis
caused by > 5gm/dl reduced Hb
 Clinical detection depends on
- % arterial blood that is desaturated
- Hb Concentration !!
 If art O2 satn is 60%,
cyanosis is detectable if Hb > 12.5gm/dl !
but not if Hb < 10 gm/dl !
ie 4gm/dl insufficient for detection of cyanosis !
Detection of cyanosis
 Astute physician/ paed cardiologist
detects when reduced Hb 3 gm/dl
Others detect at 5gm/dl
 Better to overdiagnose than underdiagnose !
 Clinical diagnosis of cyanosis is inaccurate
M Tynan in Andersons Paediatric cardiology 2007
Cyanosis -some aspects
 Some CCHD with Rt to Lt shunt and ↑ P B flow
UO TAPVR/ Truncus/ TGA-VSD/ Single ventr Physiol etc
- may have low saturations
- but undetectable cyanosis clinically
i.e. 88-92% !!
 Polycythemic patients appear cyanosed
 Methhaemoglobinaemia !!
Hyperoxic test
cyanosed or not
 Pulse oximeter - not always reliable
“a random number generator”
 Rt radial ABG in air and after 5-10 min O2
paO2 > 250mmHg -excludes CCHD
paO2 > 160 -CCHD unlikely
( UO TAPVR False negative !)
paO2 < 100 -CCHD likely (usually lower)
(severe Lung disease (high paCo2), PPHN/PFC)
 “Radial ABG more useful than ECG or CXR
in detection of cyanotic heart disease”
Warburton 1981
C C H D
in 3 major circumstances
 Pulmonary obstruction with avenue for right to
left shunting
 Discordant AV connection i.e transpositions
 Common mixing situations i.e common atrium
single ventricle etc
Unusual causes of cyanosis
without murmurs !
surviving to adolesc./ adult life
 Left SVC to LA
 IVC to LA
 Rt. SVC to LA
 Pulm. AV Fistulae (Ostler Rendu Weber syndr)
LV
Cyanosis – which category?
 Symptomatology
 Clinical examination
 Chest X ray
Fallot physiology
 Systemic venous return unable to reach lungs
 Shunted right to left away from pulm circulation
 ASD/VSD essential for this to occur;
 Or a common chamber !
PLUS
Fallot physiology
 Obstruction at
- RA outlet - i.e Tric atresia
- infund/valvar Pulm stenosis
- rarely branch PA stenosis/ DCRV
- High PVR – Eisenmenger !
obstructed pulm arterioles !!
CCHD with ↓ pulm blood flow
pulmonary oligaemia on CXR
 Symptomatology
 Inspection findings
 Auscultatory findings
 Chest Skiagram
CCHD with ↓ PBF - symptoms
 Exertional dyspnoea
 Cyanosis, spells, seizures
 CNS complications
 No recurrent RTI/ no diaphoresis
 No breathlessness at rest
except in extremes / anaemia
CCHD - ↓ PBF
- inspection /palpatory findings
 Cyanosis & clubbing
 polycythemia
 Quiet precordium to inspection & palpation
 No Harrisons sulcus or precordial bulge
 Apex well within limits if visible
 No palpable sounds or thrills
CCHD with ↓ PB Flow
auscultatory findings
 Normal first heart sound
 Single second heart sound
 Pulm component inaudible
 Stenotic pulmonary murmur
slightly after S1
stops short of S2
 Other murmurs – ductal/ MAPCA/ AR
Ejection murmur in Fallot physiology
 Length & loudness inversely proportional to
severity of stenosis
In isolated PVS – the opposite !
 Absent murmur – acquired pulm atresia
- MAPCA murmur over back
- soft ductal murmur (tortuous)
 To & Fro – Aortic regurg / Abs PV syndrome
MAPCAS
CCHD with Pulm.blood flow
 Tetralogy of Fallot
 VSD - PS
 DORV – VSD – PS
 Tricusp. atresia - PS
 Single ventricle - PS
 TGA with VSD – PS
 Corr.transp.-VSD-PS
 ASD - PS

 Common mixing situations
atrial level – TAPVR/Comm Atr
Mixing at ventric level – DORV/Single ventric
arterial level – comm art trunk
 Mild cyanosis, CCF, resp symptoms, ex dyspnoea
CCHD with ↑ Pulm blood flow
 Seldom survive to adolescence/ adulthood
 UO TAPVR/ comm atrium- the exceptions
 Most have Eisenmenger by then
and those features dominate
CCHD ↑ P B Flow
easy diagnosis – rare
 Clinical differentiation not always possible
(Tynan M, Andersons paed cardiology 2007)
 Brisk pulses, ej click, to& fro murmur – Truncus
 Sm. pulses, RV impulse, wide split S2,TV MDM – TAPVR
 AV regurg murmur, wide split, TV MDM – comm. atrium
 Sing S2, cont murmur over back – p atr / MAPCAS
CCHD with ↑ P B Flow - symptoms
 Respiratory symptoms predominate
 Growth retarded – weight & height

Keys to clinical diagnosis
 Work in order
 Pulses,pulses, pulses
 Colour ie. Cyanosis, pallor, polycythemia
 Inspect – for chest form, pulsations
 Palpate to determine – which ventricle ?
 Forget the murmur !!
 Listen first to S1, and then to S2
 Can you split the second sound ??
 Then concentrate on the components
 Finally the murmurs – systolic – ejection or pansyst.
 Is there a diastolic murmur
The second heart sound
the key to diagnosis of CHD
 Single
 Normal split
 Wide variable split
 Wide fixed split
 Reverse split
 Loud A2
 Loud P2

 TGA–IVS – do not survive
 Ebsteins – may have features of CCF & ↓PBF
cyanosis, cardiomegaly
multiple sounds, wide split, soft P2, Sail sound
TR murmur, MDM, scratchy sounds
 P Atresia IVS – seldom survive infancy
