Every day, around 12 people in Northern Ireland die from cardiovascular disease, with the condition affecting more than 230,000 people here. Our #redbenchdiaries visited Stormont, where @deborah_cheryl and @mcguigan_philip shared the impact of living with cardiovascular disease.

💕 ISUOG's Every Little Heart Matters campaign isn't just about raising awareness. It is also about measuring impact. It is crucial to see the real life impact of the work that we are doing to educate clinicians on the skills needed to accurately detect fetal cardiac anomalies through prenatal ultrasound. 👩‍⚕️ We spoke to doctors in Oman on the impact of ISUOG outreach, specifically for enhancing their skills in detecting of fetal cardiac anomalies. Here is what Dr Ahlam Al Kalbani, an obstetrician and head of the ultrasound unit at Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, had to say: 🗣️ "Because of the ISUOG outreach, we don't just scan with our hands anymore. We scan with a standard of global excellence. It has truly enhanced our ability to protect the smallest hearts in our care."

🫀Coarctation of the aorta (CoA)is a potentially life threatening congenital heart defect where unfortunately 60% are not detected before birth. 🩺This group have used AI to assess the baby's heart at the routine 18-22 week scan and have shown significant improvement in detection of CoA. This is how AI can be introduced into medical practice - being able to automate measurements and identify at risk groups for management. ##MedAI #FetalMedicine #Ultrasound #AIinHealthcare #heartdefects #CHD Role of artificial‐intelligence‐assisted automated cardiac biometrics in prenatal screening for coarctation of aorta - Taksøe‐Vester - 2024 - Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology - Wiley Online Library obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

Congenital heart disease, present from birth, refers to a range of heart defects affecting normal function. While the exact cause remains unclear, certain risk factors like maternal infections, smoking, alcohol use, and poorly controlled diabetes increase the likelihood of this condition. Although we can’t eliminate all risks, following guidelines such as vaccination, folic acid intake, and avoiding harmful substances can reduce the chances of congenital heart disease and ensure a healthier pregnancy. #CongenitalHeartDisease #HeartHealth #HealthyPregnancy #FolicAcid #RiskFactors #MaternalHealth #HeartDefects #PreventiveCare #HealthyBaby (Congenital heart disease, pregnancy, maternal health, risk factors, prevention, folic acid, rubella, smoking, diabetes, heart defects)

Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs) Explained! 🫀 The ventricular septum is divided into four key regions: inlet, trabecular, outlet, and membranous. A VSD is an abnormal opening in this septum, allowing blood to shunt between the LV & RV. 🔍 Types of VSDs & Their Locations: 📌 Perimembranous (pmVSD): Below the aortic valve, near the membranous septum 📌 Muscular (mVSD): Located in the trabecular septum; can be multiple (Swiss-cheese VSD) 📌 Inlet (iVSD): Near the AV valves, often linked to endocardial cushion defects 📌 Supracristal (scVSD): Just below the pulmonic valve, may lead to aortic regurgitation How Do We Diagnose VSDs? Echocardiography plays a key role! Different echo views help identify VSDs: 🔹 Parasternal long-axis → Best for pmVSD & mVSD 🔹 Parasternal short-axis → Locates pmVSD (10 o’clock) & scVSD (1 o’clock) 🔹 Apical 4-chamber → Ideal for detecting inlet & apical muscular VSDs Why does this matter? VSD size, location, and associated defects determine hemodynamic impact & management! Some close spontaneously, while others require surgical or percutaneous closure. Understanding VSDs = Better diagnosis & treatment! #Cardiology #VSD #ECHOFacts #HeartDefects #MedTwitter
