With the purpose of evaluating the possibility of describing hemodynamic pulmonary edema in infants with congenital heart disease using the previously suggested sonographic phenomena “alveolar consolidation” and “interstitial syndrome” in adults, 131 children of both genders were examined at the age of 1-246 days. Of these infants, 47 had congenital heart anomalies, 51 had chronic somatic pathology and patent foramen ovale, and 33 had a somatic pathology associated with either congenital heart disease or small heart abnormalities. The duration of observation and the number of sessions of ultrasound scanning were determined by the health status dynamics of the infants. All infants were described in terms of 179 characteristics of physical examination and laboratory and instrumental findings obtained through standard procedures. Echocardiography and ultrasound lung scans were performed with LOGIQ E (General Electric) and HD11 (Philips) using linear, convex, and sector transducers (7-12, 3-5, and 1.7-4.0 МHz respectively). In addition to standard protocols of heart and lung description, we also registered the square of consolidated parcels summarized for all lung segments, the number of B-lines summarized for all lung segments, and the swing of diaphragm and lung movement and calculated the diaphragm and lung swing ratio. An attempt to describe the differences between pulmonary circulation in terms of ultrasound sonography for heart defects associated and not associated with blood filling in the lungs was successful. The total area of air-free/consolidated subpleural parcels of lungs and the extent of interstitial lung syndrome were the most informative sonographic characteristics. It was concluded that interstitial edema and alveolar consolidation, described in terms of transthoracic ultrasound sonography, are recommended for use as markers of the disorders of pulmonary circulation associated with congenital heart malformations in infants.
