“…The diagnosis of congenital heart disease included any a)ngenital malformation of the cardiovascular system which had been confirmed by cardiac catheterization, angiocardiography, roetenogram, electrocardiogram, or surgery (Rowe 1970). It did not include non-structural heart disease.…”

This exploratory study sought to identify, during the newborn's hospitalization, mother's concerns regarding the care-taking tasks of their infants with congenital heart disease and to determine, 1 month subsequent to discharge, whether the mother's concerns had changed. The sample consisted of ten mothers of infants aged up to 2 months at the time of the first interview which was conducted in hospital. A second interview was conducted in the home of the subjects 1 month subsequent to discharge. The content of the responses to the interview questions was analysed and presented under the major headings of selected characteristics of the sample, developmental tasks of parenthood and selected maternal attributes. The largest number of concerns in both interviews related to the tasks of learning how to anticipate and to recognize the needs of the baby. A significant difference was found between the total number of concerns reported by each mother in the two interviews. There was an overall increase of 61%. Implications and recommendations are presented in light of the small non-random sample.

“…The two main indications for cardiac catheterisation in the neonate are central cyanosis and congestive heart failure (Rowe, 1970). With increasing severity of these indications, there is a greater urgency to proceed to cardiac catheterisation.…”

“…With better understanding of the biological changes occurring in hypoxia and congestive heart failure in the newborn with serious heart disease, management of these changes pre-and postoperatively improved and aided in the survival of the patients (Rowe, 1970;Talner and Ithuralde, 1970;Gersony and Hayes, 1972;Talner and Campbell, 1972).…”

“…Before cardiac catheterisation, a number of newer noninvasive assessments helped to plan invasive investigations and decreased the time and improved the quality. Such assessment included the use of blood-gases to determine the acidbase status, the hyperoxic test for cyanotic patients, and echocardiography (Rowe, 1970;Talner and Ithuralde, 1970;Godman et al, 1974;Hagler, 1976;Meyer, 1977;Williams and Tucker, 1977). The interval from first assessment to cardiac catheterisation decreased with greater severity of cyanosis or congestive heart failure, reflecting the trend towards earlier and more complete investigations.…”

“…Over one-third of these patients have critically severe congenital heart disease and are usually identified very early because of the development of cyanosis or congestive heart failure (Rowe, 1970;Mitchell et al, 1971;Campbell, 1973;Nadas et al, 1973).…”

SUMMARY One-third of 327 newborn infants referred to the perinatal service of the Hospital for Sick Children during 1975 with suspected cardiopulmonary disorders proved to have nonstructural heart disease. Most of these were term infants with transient tachypnoea or cyanosis who recovered. A history of fetal distress or difficult delivery was commonly associated. The haemodynamic disorder for most was a delay in the normal progress of the transitional circulation. Evidence of myocardial ischaemia was present in 40%, and about half of these developed congestive heart failure. Aids to diagnosis of the ischaemic complication included echocardiography and myocardial perfusion scanning. For a small proportion specific metabolic disturbances, myocarditis, or dysrhythmia seemed the primary cause but even for these there were reasonable grounds to suspect a prenatal origin. Current general supportive measures were of value in treatment.
