Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a rare congenital heart defect in which the left side of the heart is severely underdeveloped and incapable of supporting the systemic circulation. [2] It is estimated to account for 2-3% of all congenital heart disease. [ 3 ]
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a rare congenital defect in which a part of the infant's heart is underdeveloped, making it difficult for the left side of the heart to pump enough blood ...
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, or HLHS, is a congenital heart defect that affects the left side of the heart, specifically affecting the left ventricle and ascending aorta. Also, the aortic valve and mitral valve might be either too small to allow enough blood to flow through, or they might be absent altogether, called atresia.
4-year-old who received new heart after waiting 1,025 days goes home from hospital. According to Cleveland Clinic Children's, John-Henry was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, or HLHS, a ...
Norwood procedure is most commonly performed to treat hypoplastic left heart syndrome, double outlet right ventricle, double inlet left ventricle, and other single ventricle congenital heart defects. [5] Variations are also used for palliation of mitral and tricuspid atresia [6] and subsets of transposition of great arteries (TGA). [7]
[1] [2] It is used to repair defects that result in the physiology of hypoplastic left heart syndrome even though both ventricles are functioning normally. These defects are common in DiGeorge syndrome and include interrupted aortic arch and LVOT obstruction (IAA/LVOTO); aortic atresia - severe stenosis with ventricular septal defect (AA/VSD ...
Jacqueline Anne Noonan (October 28, 1928 – July 23, 2020) was an American pediatric cardiologist best known for her characterization of a genetic disorder now called Noonan syndrome. [1] [2] She was also the original describer of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. [3]
A number of genetic conditions are associated with heart defects, including Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Marfan syndrome. [3] Congenital heart defects are divided into two main groups: cyanotic heart defects and non-cyanotic heart defects , depending on whether the child has the potential to turn bluish in color. [ 3 ]
