• Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease

  Postnatal diagnosis is based on clinical suspicion of cyanotic congenital heart disease and is confirmed with echocardiography (Echo). Electrocardiography (ECG) is typically normal. [pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]

• Heart Murmur

  However, if there are any other associated defects present such as pulmonary stenosis, then your child may have a heart murmur. The sound of extra blood being pushed towards the lungs and leaking through the valve can be heard as a heart murmur. [chfed.org.uk]

  Most infants with an aortopulmonary window have a heart murmur. Doctors make the diagnosis based on what they find on examining the infant and results of imaging tests, usually echocardiography. [merckmanuals.com]

  It might not be diagnosed until well into adulthood when congestive heart failure, heart murmurs and abnormal heart rhythms can develop. [heart.org]

  Treatment In most cases, a heart murmur leads to further investigation. Diagnosis is by echocardiography. Usually, treatment involves heart catheterisation to open the narrow valve with a balloon. [evelinalondon.nhs.uk]

  Some babies born with CCTGA have heart murmurs, heart rhythm problems, and/or show signs of heart failure. If they also have a ventricular septal defect (VSD) they may also be cyanotic (blue). In these cases a diagnosis is usually made in infancy. [achaheart.org]

• P Wave Absent

  Electrocardiographic features that should suggest corrected transposition are atrioventricular block (particularly 2:1 or complete heart block), abnormal P waves, absent or low R voltage in aVR, an initial Q wave in leads 3, aVR, aVF and V 1, absence [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

• Biventricular Hypertrophy

The treatment for advanced AV block is to have a pacemaker implanted, which stimulates the heart, allowing it to beat fast enough. Symptoms of advanced AV block include: Lightheadedness Fainting Profound fatigue. [nationwidechildrens.org]

Surgical treatment of corrected transposition has been difficult because of complete atrioventricular block before or after operation, residual incompetence when deformed left atrioventricular valves were present, and the mirror-image arrangement for [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Treatment Diagnosis and treatment for babies is based on clinical findings (such as weak pulses in the legs) and echocardiography. Typically treatment is surgery, but occasionally heart catheterisation may be the treatment of choice. [evelinalondon.nhs.uk]

Introduction: Improved medical and surgical treatment strategies led to a tremendous increase of the incidence of end-stage heart failure which has almost tripled during the past years. [thieme-connect.com]

CONCLUSIONS: The long-term prognosis of the double-switch operation for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries was acceptable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment [ edit ] Simple l-TGA has a very good prognosis, with many individuals being asymptomatic and not requiring surgical correction. [en.wikipedia.org]

The absence of associated anomalies portends a good overall prognosis, and diagnosis is delayed until later in life in these patients. [consultant360.com]

Prognosis Patient prognosis depends on AV conduction, arrhythmias, structural abnormalities, and degree of hemodynamic disturbance. [5] Sudden death may be related to the onset of complete heart block or atrial or ventricular arrhythmias. [emedicine.medscape.com]
