Abstract

It is estimated that about 1 in 100 live births has a congenital heart disease (CHD). Cognitive deficit, academic difficulties, and behavioral abnormalities, in combination, represent the most common morbidity affecting quality of life in survivors with CHD. Developmental dysfunction results from a complex interaction between patient-specific factors such as genetic susceptibility, cardiac diagnosis, fetal development, and environmental factors such as preoperative events, supportive techniques during surgical repair, postoperative events, socioeconomic status. A comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessment in all children with CHD is critical to identify any need for intervention early and provide the support needed to optimize their long-term development.

Se estima que aproximadamente 1 de cada 100 nacidos vivos presenta una cardiopatía congénita (CC). El déficit cognitivo, las dificultades académicas y anomalías conductuales, en combinación, representan la morbilidad más común que afecta la calidad de vida en sobrevivientes con CC. La disfunción del desarrollo resulta de una interacción compleja entre factores específicos del paciente como susceptibilidad genética, tipo de cardiopatía, desarrollo fetal y factores ambientales tales como eventos preoperatorios, técnicas de apoyo durante la reparación quirúrgica, eventos posoperatorios, estatus socioeconómico. Una evaluación integral del neurodesarrollo en todos los niños con CC es fundamental para identificar tempranamente cualquier necesidad de intervención y proporcionar el apoyo necesario para optimizar su desarrollo a largo plazo.
