Right Heart Catheterization in Tetralogy of Fallot

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Right Heart Catheterization in Tetralogy of Fallot With the availability of high resolution echocardiographic images and Doppler echocardiography, role of cardiac catheterization has come down in tetralogy of Fallot and other congenital heart diseases in general. Normal subjects have a value around 2.1. If McGoon’s ratio is below 0.8,

Multimodality Imaging Evaluation of Diseases of the Pulmonic Valve and Right Ventricular Outflow Tract for the Adult Cardiologist

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

Due to the dramatically improved survival of children with congenital heart disease over the last 5 decades, there has been a steady increase in the prevalence of adults with congenital heart disease, which necessitates that clinicians become familiar with the anatomy and the evaluation of right ventricular outflow tract and PV anomalies.

Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Patients with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for requiring cardiac pacing during their lifetime. Due to atrial and ventricular pacing dependence, a comprehensive congenital care team concluded the need for lead extraction and replacement of pacemaker via leadless peacemaking device.

Abstract 4142090: Venous Access Alone vs. Arterial and Venous Access for Patent Arterial Duct Device Closure in Childhood

Circulation

Background:The persistently patent arterial duct accounts for ~12% of congenital heart lesions. Untreated, it may result in heart failure due to volume loading of the left heart, pulmonary hypertension, and infective endarteritis. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142090-A4142090, November 12, 2024.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. Colour flow shows the flow in pulmonary artery. Three cuts are usually obtained in this view.
