Book Chapter Description

Historically, the care of the newborn with congenital heart disease focused in large part on the diagnosis and delineation of the congenital heart anatomy. Now, with the ready availability of echocardiography, comprehensive assessment of intracardiac and great vessel anatomy can be completed expeditiously. Critical congenital heart disease frequently presents in the neonatal period. Most critical congenital heart lesions depend upon the need to maintain the patency of the ductus arteriosus to allow sufficient pulmonary or systemic blood flow. In recent years there has been an effort to enhance early detection of critical congenital heart disease with pulse oximetry screening.
