We describe the case of a 27-year-old Caucasian woman with corrected transposition of the great vessels, who presented with cardiac failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Anteroposterior thoracic roentgenograms may suggest the diagnosis, particularly when a narrow waist is present at the base of the heart, accompanied by the absence of a pulmonary-artery "knob" and the presence of an enlarged left atrium. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

See Workup for more detail. Management Medical care There is little evidence that established medical treatment options for left ventricle dysfunction (ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, nitrates) produce similar outcomes for systemic right ventricles. [emedicine.medscape.com]

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]

Prognosis Left untreated, this disease is fatal within the first weeks of life. Prevention Because there is no identifiable cause, there is no way to prevent this condition. Resources Books Alexander, R. W., R. C. Schlant, and V. Fuster, editors. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

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]

The etiology of the tricuspid valve stenosis and regurgitation was considered rheumatic because of a history of polyarthritis, early presentation, characteristic echocardiographic valve morphology and combined involvement of the tricuspid valve and the [heartviews.org]

The oldest individual previously reported in the literature to have survived with this anomaly was 80 years old. 1 The etiology of heart failure in the 91-year-old patient discussed in our article was tricuspid regurgitation, although congestive heart [consultant360.com]

Etiology Causes and exposures associated with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries have not been identified clearly. A substantial number of patients with congenital heart disease have a deletion of chromosome band 22q11. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology United States data Data from the Baltimore-Washington Infant Study supported the fact that congenitally corrected transposition is a rare disorder. [4] As many as 40 infants per 100,000 live births are affected by congenitally corrected transposition [emedicine.medscape.com]

Advantages of this over atrial switch are anatomical correction of discordant ventriculoarterial connections, reduced incidence of rhythm disturbances, prevention of the development of right ventricular failure. [4] However, neo-aortic root dilation, [saudija.org]

If you are trying to prevent pregnancy, you will need to select the lowest risk form of birth control. In most cases, the cause of a congenital heart defect is not known. [nationwidechildrens.org]
