    Severe valvular aortic stenosis in infants causes early heart failure symptoms, including cardiomegaly. Surgical intervention improved cardiac size and function in most cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Neonatal Cardiology

    Background:

    • Valvular aortic stenosis (AS) is a critical congenital heart defect.
    • Infantile heart failure due to AS presents significant management challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation, echocardiographic findings, and outcomes of infants with severe valvular aortic stenosis.
    • To evaluate the impact of surgical intervention on cardiac function and size.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 12 infants diagnosed with valvular aortic stenosis.
    • Echocardiography and left ventriculography were used to assess cardiac structure and function.
    • Evaluation of postoperative changes in cardiac size and ventricular performance.

    Main Results:

    • Nine of 12 infants presented with heart failure, cardiomegaly, and pulmonary congestion within the first week of life.
    • Left ventriculography revealed segmental dysfunction in 7 infants and generalized hypokinesis in 2, with trabecular effacement correlating with dysfunction.
    • Postoperative studies showed reduced cardiac size and improved ventricular function in most infants.

    Conclusions:

    • Early-onset heart failure is common in infants with severe valvular aortic stenosis.
    • Echocardiography and ventriculography are crucial for diagnosis and functional assessment.
    • Surgical correction leads to significant improvement in cardiac status for most affected infants.
