Why some children are born with malformations of the heart has always been somewhat puzzling. There is still some question as , to whether the cause is inherited or is the ersult of influences occurring after conception. Recently an excellent study of three families was reported in a prominent medical! journal. In each of them, there! was an unusually high frequency of , congenital heart disease.. Also, a review of medical literature disclosed 141 cases ' of multiple familial congenital heart disease.

What variety is present makes a difference to the patient be- cause some kinds can now be successfully tfeated by surgery and others cannot. More and more of them, however, are being placed in the first group.i In one of these conditions, the passageway between the heart and one of the large blood ves sels, which! should normally close before birth fails to .do so. This is called a patent, or open, ductus arteriosus., This opening, can now be closed by delicate r heart surgery with great success. Many of the other congenital malformations of the heart can also be treated successfully by surgery. For this reason careful study of each case has to be conducted in order to make a diagnosis and to decide whether or not surgery could offer chances of relief. ' For the child '' with congenital heart disease who cannot be successfully treated iby surgery, cer- tain precautions are particularly necessary." Such children must be carefully examined, of course, and every effort must be .made to avoid infection and excessive. physical strain. In almost all cases the activity must be restricted in order i to avoid the danger of overburdening a heart which already is sunder too much - v several 'different kinds of malformations of the heart, but many of them result in the mixing of blood with that which has been deprived of .such oxygen. jThis leads to a bluish color of baby." - 1953-59- Surgery Makes Strides In Heart Disease In Babies A woman can There are two times atoms-for-industr- Your Family Doctor ';':"'"-' .' m-- Looking out. my hotel window at the beach.
