Pediatric Heart Conditions

Hereditary conditions affecting the connective tissues of the body, including eye problems, hearing problems, midfacial underdevelopment, spine problems, and early arthritis.

An abnormally rapid heart rate originating from the upper chambers of the heart.

The sudden loss of consciousness previously called a swoon but now commonly called a fainting spell.

Four congenital defects in the heart and its vessels that result in a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood returning to the body, causing cyanosis.

A condition in which the pulmonary veins that bring oxygen-rich blood from the lungs back to the heart are not connected to the left atrium, but instead, drain elsewhere.

Occurring when the positions of the pulmonary artery and the aorta are reversed.

A condition in which there is no tricuspid valve, therefore no blood can flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. For survival, an opening must be formed.

Also called common arterial trunk, a condition in which there is one common vessel or trunk from the heart instead of a separate pulmonary artery and aorta.

A condition with symptoms similar to systemic autoimmune disorders or connective tissue disease, but cannot be classified as a well-defined connective tissue disease.

An unusual formation of the aorta and the blood vessels around it, which puts pressure on the trachea and esophagus, making breathing and eating difficult.

An opening between the two lower chambers of the heart.
