Due to the dramatically improved survival of children with congenital heart disease over the last 5 decades, there has been a steady increase in the prevalence of adults with congenital heart disease, which necessitates that clinicians become familiar with the anatomy and the evaluation of right ventricular outflow tract and PV anomalies.

Congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) is typically associated with structurally normal cardiac anatomy and coronary artery blood flow, yet patients remain at risk to develop myocardial dysfunction and heart failure.

Right Heart Catheterization in Tetralogy of Fallot With the availability of high resolution echocardiographic images and Doppler echocardiography, role of cardiac catheterization has come down in tetralogy of Fallot and other congenital heart diseases in general. If McGoon’s ratio is below 0.8, References Wagdy R. 2018 Jun 28;3:e72-e79.

Abstract Introduction Patients with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for requiring cardiac pacing during their lifetime. Due to atrial and ventricular pacing dependence, a comprehensive congenital care team concluded the need for lead extraction and replacement of pacemaker via leadless peacemaking device.

However, the vertebral‐basilar anatomy is more challenging for MT compared to the anterior circulation due to several congenital variants such as hypoplastic vertebral artery, fenestration on the vertebrobasilar junction, or chronic asymptomatic occlusions of vertebral arteries, and tortuous subclavian arteries and vertebral arteries (VAs).

Congenital Heart Defects Some individuals are born with heart defects that cause parts of the heart to work harder, leading to enlargement over time. Arrhythmias (Irregular Heartbeats) Persistent abnormal heart rhythms can disrupt the heart’s pumping efficiency, eventually causing it to enlarge to maintain blood flow.

Introduction:Dextrocardia is a rare congenital condition where the heart's apex points to the right, with an incidence of about 0.01%. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4140682-A4140682, November 12, 2024. Patients usually have a normal life expectancy unless other structural heart diseases are present.

Background:The persistently patent arterial duct accounts for ~12% of congenital heart lesions. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142090-A4142090, November 12, 2024. Untreated, it may result in heart failure due to volume loading of the left heart, pulmonary hypertension, and infective endarteritis.

To revise the anatomy lessons, this is the external jugular vein and this is the internal jugular vein. So a prominent A wave in a complex congenital heart disease situation would indicate that interventricular septum is intact. These are assessed in the internal jugular vein and not in the external jugular vein.

A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. Parasternal views are often obtained first, followed by apical, subcostal, and suprasternal.

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a common supraventricular tachycardia in children and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. However, in this subgroup ablation remains challenging and experience limited, since anatomy may be atypical and the areas of ablation less predictable or less accessible.
