What is Pulmonary Valve Stenosis?

Pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) is a disorder where the blood flow from the heart to the lungs is obstructed by a deformed pulmonary valve, or a deformity around the valve (either above or below). Sometimes adults will develop pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) as a complication of another condition, but more often than not pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) develops prior to birth.

Pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) varies from mild cases showing few symptoms to being very serious and debilitating. Mild cases of pulmonary valve stenosis doesn’t usually deteriorate, but the more serious cases may get worse and eventually require surgery.

Symptoms of Pulmonary Valve Stenosis (PVS)

Symptoms of pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) may include some or all of the following:

• Loss of consciousness

• Heart murmur

• Shortness of breath, especially during exercise

• Fatigue

• Chest pain

Symptoms of pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) may vary depending on the degree to which the valve is obstructed. People with mild pulmonary stenosis might only exhibit symptoms while exercising or not at all.

Causes of Pulmonary Valve Stenosis (PVS) – The Use of Antidepressants During Pregnancy

Pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS) typically occurs when the pulmonary valve does not grow correctly during fetal development. Other heart abnormalities are sometimes present at birth (congenital) in infants who have pulmonary valve stenosis. The use of antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of the pregnancy may significantly increase the risk of congenital heart defects such as pulmonary valve stenosis (PVS).

What is Coarctation of the Aorta?

Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) is the narrowing of the aorta, the larger blood vessel that branches off from the heart and brings oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. If coarctation of the aorta occurs, the heart has to work harder to pump blood through the narrow section of the aorta. Coarctation of the aorta may occur anywhere along the aorta, but the coarctation is usually located near a blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus.

Typically, coarctation of the aorta is present at birth. Coarctation of the aorta can vary from mild to very severe, and is oftentimes not detected until adulthood. There are usually other heart defects present along with coarctation of the aorta. Coarctation of the aorta requires careful attention and follow-up from infancy through adulthood.

Symptoms of Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA)

The signs and symptoms of coarctation of the aorta depend on the severity. Children with severe aortic narrowing will often exhibit signs and symptoms earlier in life, while mild cases may not be recognized until later in adulthood.Babies with severe coarctation of the aorta usually begin having signs and symptoms shortly after birth. Symptoms of coarctation of the aorta may include some or all of the following:

• Difficulty breathing

• Pale skin

• Irritability

• Heavy sweating

If untreated, aortic coarctation in babies may lead to heart failure and death.

Causes of Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) – The Use of Antidepressants During Pregnancy

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) typically occurs when the pulmonary valve does not grow correctly during fetal development. Other heart abnormalities are sometimes present at birth (congenital) in infants who have coarctation of the aorta. The use of SSRI antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of the pregnancy may significantly increase the risk of congenital heart defects such as coartation of the aorta (CoA).

What is Ebstein’s Anomaly?

Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare defect of the heart typically present from birth (congenital). In a patient with Ebstein’s anomaly, the tricuspid valve (valve between the right chambers of the heart) don’t work correctly. Blood will leak back through the valve, making the heart work less efficiently. Ebstein’s anomaly can also lead the heart becoming enlarged or even heart failure. As with many conditions, the severity of Ebstein’s anomaly may range from minimal side effects to very severe. Ebstein’s anomaly is commonly seen along with an atrial septal defect (hole in the wall dividing the two upper chambers of the heart).

Ebstein anomaly is typically characterized by a severely deformed and displaced tricuspid valve. As a result, blood regurgitates or leaks backwards from the right ventricle into the right atrium. This syndrome also characterizes an opening in the septum between the atria (ASD). The ASD allows oxygen-poor blood to flow from the right atrium into oxygen-rich blood of the left atrium causing cyanosis (blueness of the skin).

Symptoms of Ebstein’s Anomaly

Some more mild forms of Ebstein’s anomaly might not show symptoms until adulthood. Some of the symptoms may include:

• Heart palpitations or abnormal heart rhythms

• Fatigue, especially with exertion

• Shortness of breath

• Leg swelling

• A bluish discoloration of the lips and skin caused by low oxygen

Causes of Ebstein’s Anomaly – Antidepressant Use During Pregnancy

Ebstein’s anomaly typically occurs because of improper development of the heart during pregnancy. Other heart abnormalities are sometimes present at birth (congenital) in infants who have Epstein’s anomaly. The use of SSRI antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of the pregnancy may significantly increase the risk of congenital heart defects such as Epstein’s anomaly.

What is Transposition of the Great Arteries?


Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs when an infant is born with the two main arteries carrying blood from the heart reversed. Normally, the blood flows from body to heart to lungs to heart to body, but when transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs the pathway is obstructed because the two main arteries are connected to the wrong chambers of the heart.

Surgery is typically required soon after birth. The only way to survive temporarily without surgery is to create leakages that allow some oxygen-rich blood to cross into the oxygen-low blood for delivery to the rest of the body.

Symptoms of Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)

Transposition typically diagnosed within the first hours or days of life due to low oxygen levels. Rapid breathing in response to the low oxygen levels is often observed, but the babies are typically described as being “comfortably tachypneic,” or not working markedly hard to accomplish the rapid breathing.

Even when the baby has a ventricular septal defect, a heart murmur is often not observable in the first days or weeks of life. If there is a site where blood mixing allows for safe oxygen levels, children will often develop signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure over the course of the first weeks or months of life.
Untreated, over 50 percent of infants with transposition will die in the first month of life, 90 percent in the first year.

Causes of Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) – Antidepressant Use During Pregnancy

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) typically occurs during fetal growth when the infant’s heart is still developing. The use of SSRI antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of the pregnancy  may significantly increase the risk of congenital heart defects such as transposition of the great arteries (TGA).

What is Transposition of the Great Vessels?

Transposition of the great vessels (TGV) is a rare heart defect that is typically present at birth. In transposition of the great vessels the two main articles leaving the heart are transposed (reversed). Transposition of the great vessels alters the way that blood circulates throughout the body which leaves a deficiency of blood flowing from the heart to the remainder of the body.

Lacking an adequate supply of oxygen-rich blood, the body is unable to function properly. Transposition of the great vessels is usually detected within the first few weeks of life. Surgery soon after birth is typically required for babies having transposition of the great vessels.

Symptoms of Transposition of the Great Vessels (TGV)

Symptoms of transposition of the great vessels typically include some or all of the following:

• Lack of appetite

• Poor weight gain

• Blue color of the skin

• Shortness of breath

Causes of Transposition of the Great Vessels – Antidepressant Use During Pregnancy

Transposition of the great vessels (TGV) typically occurs during fetal growth when the infant’s heart is still developing. The use of SSRI antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of the pregnancy may significantly increase the risk of a congenital heart defect such as transposition of the great vessels (TGV).

What is Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome?

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a complicated and uncommon heart defect present at birth (congenital). In hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the left portion of the heart is dangerously underdeveloped.

If a baby is born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the left portion of the heart cannot efficiently propel blood to the body, consequently the right portion of the heart is required to propel blood to the lungs and to the remainder of the body.

Children suffering from hypoplastic left heart syndrome must take medication in order to stop the closure of the connection of the left and right sides of the heart. In addition to the medication, either surgery or a heart transplant will be necessary. In many cases, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) has been traced to the use of SSRI antidepressants such as Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Lexapro, or Celexa by the mother during all or part of the pregnancy. If you took Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Lexapro, or Celexa during pregnancy and your child was born with a congenital heart defect like hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) you and your child might have a legal right to monetary compensation through a SSRI antidepressant lawsuit.

Symptoms of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)

Babies who are born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome typically are severely ill instantly after being born. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome symptoms may include some of the following:

• Bluish-gray skin color
• Hasty, labored breathing
• Inadequate feeding
• Cold hands and feet
• Being unusually inactive or drowsy

According to medical authorities a baby born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, once the natural connections between the heart’s left and right sides are allowed to close, may go into shock and could die. Signs of shock may include some or all of the following:

• Clammy skin that may be pale or gray
• A weak and rapid pulse
• Abnormal breathing that may be either slow and shallow or very rapid
• Dilated pupils
• Lackluster eyes that seem to stare

Without surgery, babies with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) may die within a few weeks. With surgery most infants survive hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), but most infants will have some or all of the following complications later in life:

• Developmental problems related to the brain and nervous system
• Tiring especially easily while participating in exercise
• Need for additional heart surgery or transplantation
• Heart rhythm abnormalities
• Formation of blood clots that may lead to a pulmonary embolism or stroke
• Fluid buildup in the lungs, abdomen, legs and feet

Causes of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) – Antidepressant Use While Pregnant

Heart defects present at birth (congenital heart defects) are a result of errors early in the heart’s development, but it is often hard to determine the exact cause. The use of antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of the pregnancy doubles the risk of a congenital heart defect like hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

What is Aortic Valve Stenosis?

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS), or aortic stenosis, occurs when a heart’s aortic valve constricts and becomes narrowed and even deformed. AVS is more common among adults, but can appear in the form of a congenital birth defect in infants and young children. The constriction is caused by thickened and fused valve leaflets. This constricting prevents the valve from opening entirely, which hinders blood flow from the heart into the aorta and on to the remainder of the body. AVS also prevents the valves from closing entirely which causes it to leak blood as well as restrict the flow.

Once the aortic valve has been obstructed, the heart must work even harder to pump blood to the rest of the body. The lack of blood flow to the aorta causes a buildup of pressure which can damage the heart muscle. In due course, this extra exertion weakens the heart and confines the amount of blood it is able to pump. Aortic Valve Stenosis is rare among infants, and one cause of AVS as a congenital birth defect is the use of an SSRI (Zoloft, Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil or Celexa) during pregnancy.

Symptoms of Aortic Valve Stenosis (AVS)

Aortic valve stenosis varies anywhere from mild to severe. Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) symptoms tend to occur when the restriction of the valve is severe and may include:

 

  • Chest pain (angina) or tightness
  • Feeling faint or fainting during exertion
  • Shortness of breath, especially during exertion
  • Fatigue, especially during times of increased activity
  • Heart palpitations — sensations of a rapid, fluttering heartbeat
  • Heart murmur

The damaging effects of aortic valve stenosis may also eventually result in heart failure. Aortic valve stenosis may not show obvious warning signs immediately, which makes it hard to notice initially. Often times a doctor will discover AVS during a regular physical when the doctor notices a heart murmur. This murmur may occur long before other signs and symptoms develop.
Aortic valve stenosis typically affects adults, but has also been discovered in infants and children. Infants and children with AVS may have symptoms similar to those of adults. If you or your child experiences such signs or symptoms, see a doctor immediately, especially if you or your child has a known heart problem.

Aortic Valve Stenosis as a Congenital Birth Defect

You and your child could have a legal right to monetary compensation for damages and injuries. Call 1-800-883-9858 for your free consultation.

What is Tetralogy of Fallot?

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a rare disorder characterized by the combination of four separate heart defects present at birth. Tetralogy of Fallot is caused by multiple malformations of the heart. The four defects are: ventricular septal defect (VSD), right ventricular outflow obstruction, resultant right ventricular hypertrophy, and an aorta that lies above the VSD. This disorder affects the structure of the heart and causes oxygen-low blood to flow from the heart out into the body. Babies and young children with tetralogy of Fallot tend to have a bluish-tinged skin color due to the lack of oxygen within the blood.

The ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall that divides the ventricles allowing blood from both chambers to mix. The right ventricular outflow tract is blocked by a small pulmonary valve combination and a muscular narrowing beneath the valve. The thickened wall (hypertrophy) is due to increased pressure of the right ventricle. The aorta lies above the ventricular septal defect and transports blood from both chambers into the body. The volume of blood that reaches the lungs determines the degree of cyanosis (blueish hue of the skin).

Symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)

Tetralogy of Fallot signs may vary, dependant on the extent to which the blood flow out of the right ventricle and into the lungs is obstructed. Some symptoms can include:

• A bluish hue of the skin caused by oxygen-poor blood

• Shortness of breath and rapid breathing, especially during feeding

• Fainting

• Clubbing of fingers and toes

• Poor weight gain

• Tiring easily during play

• Irritability

• Prolonged crying

• A heart murmur

Tet Spells

Sometimes, babies with tetralogy of Fallot will abruptly develop bluish skin, lips, and nails after feeding, crying, having a bowel movement, or other actions. These episodes are referred to as “Tet spells” caused by a rapid plunge in the quantity of oxygen within the blood.

If your baby becomes blue, place your infant on its side immediately and pull their knees to their chest. Doing so will help to increase the blood flow to the lungs. Call 911 or a local emergency phone number immediately.

Causes of Tetralogy of Fallot – Antidepressant Use During Pregnancy

Heart defects present at birth (congenital heart defects) are a result of errors early in the heart’s development, but it is often hard to determine the exact cause. The use of antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of the pregnancy doubles the risk of a congenital heart defect like tetralogy of Fallot

All infants diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot will require corrective surgery. Without treatment, the baby may not grow and develop correctly. The child is also at a greatly increased risk of severe complications, such as infective endocarditis, an inflammation of the inner lining of the heart caused by a bacterial infection. Untreated cases of tetralogy of Fallot typically develop severe complications over time, which can result in death or serious disability at early ages.

What is Atrial Septal Defect?

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is an irregular hole in the septum, or wall, that divides the left and right atria. It allows oxygen-high blood to flow from the left atrium into the oxygen-low blood of the right atrium. This results in increased blood flow in the right heart. An increased amount of blood may cause enlargement of the right ventricle, the right atrium, and the pulmonary artery. Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital birth defect meaning that it is present at birth.

Minor atrial septal defects may close on their own during infancy or early childhood. Larger and lasting atrial septal defects may eventually damage your lungs and heart. Adults with an undetected atrial septal defect for years may have a shorter life span due to heart failure or high blood pressure. Surgery is typically necessary to repair atrial septal defects in order to prevent complications. One major cause of Atrial septal defect (ASD) among infants is the use of an SSRI such as Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of pregnancy.

Symptoms of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)

Often, babies born with atrial septal defects don’t show signs or symptoms. Among adults, signs or symptoms typically have begun by age 30, but in some cases symptoms may not appear until many years later.

Symptoms of larger or long-lasting atrial septal defects can include:

  • Shortness of breath, especially during exertion
  • Stroke
  • Fatigue
  • Bluish skin color
  • Heart murmur, a whooshing sound that may be heard by a doctor with a stethoscope
  • Swelling of legs, feet or abdomen
  • Heart palpitations or skipped beats
  • Frequent lung infections

Contact your doctor immediately if you observe any of the following symptoms in your child: discoloration of the skin (bluish), easily tiring after activity, swollen legs feet or abdomen, heart palpitations or missed beats, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of heart failure.

Causes of Atrial Septal Defect – Antidepressant Use During Pregnancy

Doctors know that heart defects present at birth (congenital heart defects) are a result of errors early in the heart’s development, but it is often hard to determine the exact cause. The use of antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro during all or part of the pregnancy doubles the risk of a congenital heart defect like ASD.

If the atrial septal defect is not treated, the right side of the heart ultimately enlarges and deteriorates. In many cases, the blood pressure in your lungs increases as well, leading to pulmonary hypertension.

What is Zoloft?

Zoloft (Sertraline) is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. Pfizer introduced Zoloft to the market in 1991. Zoloft is primarily used to treat depression in adults as well as obsessive-compulsive, panic, and social anxiety disorders in both children and adults. In 2007, it was the most prescribed antidepressant on the U.S. retail market, with almost 30 million Zoloft prescriptions.

Distinctions between newer antidepressants like Zoloft and Prozac are less noticeable and also mostly limited to side effects. Evidence shows that Zoloft may work better than Prozac (fluoxetine) for some types of depression. Zoloft is highly effective for the treatment of panic disorder, but cognitive behavioral therapy is probably a better treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder, whether by itself or in combination with Zoloft. Although approved for social phobia and posttraumatic stress disorder, Zoloft leads to only modest improvement in these conditions.

Zoloft and Pregnancy – Zoloft Side effects

Some potential side effects of Zoloft include:

  • Anxiety
  • Constipation
  • Decreased sexual desire or ability
  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness
  • Dry mouth
  • Increased sweating
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea
  • Nervousness
  • Upset stomach
  • Tiredness
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Tomiting
  • Weight loss

Zoloft and Pregnancy

Many women have concerns regarding Zoloft and pregnancy. A recently published case-control study shows that infants born to mothers that took selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Zoloft after the twentieth week of pregnancy are 6 times more likely to have persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) than babiess born to mothers who did not take antidepressants during pregnancy. The background risk of a woman giving birth to an infant affected by PPHN without taking an SSRI like Zoloft during pregnancy is estimated to be about 1 to 2 infants per 1000 live births. Neonatal PPHN is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The FDA is updating the prescribing information for all SSRIs including Zoloft with this new information.

The FDA is also gathering data from other sources related to the potential relation between SSRIs such as Zoloft and pregnancy and neonatal PPHN. The FDA will give additional information when it is available. In the meantime, the FDA suggests that doctors cautiously weigh and discuss with patients the potential risks and benefits of SSRI treatment throughout pregnancy, including late pregnancy.

Along with PPHN, there are other birth defects associated with Zoloft and pregnancy. To name a few, mothers who take Zoloft during pregnancy are more likely to have infants with gastroschisis, spina bifida, and heart murmurs.

Another study showed that babies whose mothers who combine Zoloft and pregnancy may be more likely to be born prematurely, have low birth weight, spend time in a neonatal intensive care unit, and have trouble adapting to life outside the womb.

As with most things, the benefits should be weighed against the risks. Combining Zoloft and pregnancy presents a special set of potential risks that may not be worth it. If you are considering Zoloft and pregnancy, you should first consult your physician. They may suggest alternate treatments, or they may consider the benefits of Zoloft during pregnancy worth the risks.
