Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Patients who have diagnosed congenital heart disease, heterotaxy or situs inversus will be asked to participate in this study regardless of sex, age, or race. In addition, patients who have diagnosed PCD or Kartagener syndrome with documentation or high clinical suspicion of heterotaxy or situs inversus will also be recruited to participate in this study. There is no known ethnic or racial predilection for heterotaxy, congenital heart disease, situs inversus, PCD, or Kartagener syndrome.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Certain conditions may preclude specific procedures included in this protocol, but may still allow pertinent parts of the diagnostic evaluation. These conditions/procedures may include: pregnancy/chest radiograph. For reversible conditions, such as acute upper airway infection, significant epistaxis within the prior week (not related to number 2 below), or lower airway infection with uncontrollable coughing, the participant may need to be re-evaluated after resolution. For nasal NO or nasal mucosal scrapings, the following lists the absolute contraindications:
  • Anatomic abnormality of the nose or sinuses (e.g. complete sinus blockage or turbinatectomy) that precludes the measurement of nasal NO.
  • A severe bleeding diathesis or condition, such as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome, that may predispose to significant nasal bleeding or result in a severely excoriated nasal mucosa.
