Peripandemic outcomes of infants treated for sentinel congenital heart diseases in England and Wales

Open Heart

Background Infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) are clinically vulnerable to cardiac deteriorations and intercurrent infections. We aimed to quantify the impact of health system disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, on their clinical outcomes and whether these differed by socioeconomic and ethnic subgroups.

Abstract 4147910: 22q11 Deletion Syndrome: A Potenitial Risk Factor For Left Pulmonary Artery Hypoplasia and Need For Intervention in Patients With Congeital Heart Disease

Circulation

Animal studies have shown that mice with TBX1 gene mutations have smaller left pulmonary arteries compared to wild type mice, defined by a reduced left pulmonary artery (LPA) to right pulmonary artery (RPA) ratio. A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts.

Deep learning denoising reconstruction for improved image quality in fetal cardiac cine MRI

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Purpose This study aims to evaluate deep learning (DL) denoising reconstructions for image quality improvement of Doppler ultrasound (DUS)-gated fetal cardiac MRI in congenital heart disease (CHD). Diagnostic confidence was assessed for the atria, ventricles, foramen ovale, valves, great vessels, aortic arch, and pulmonary veins.
