Arrhythmias in children undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction Heart transplantation (HT) is the only treatment option in children with heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathies and non-reparable congenital heart diseases. Results We identified 27 children (66.7% On a median follow-up of 35.07 months (IQR: 13.13–111.87),

Genetic Contribution to End-Stage Cardiomyopathy Requiring Heart Transplantation

Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine

When treatable causes are excluded, studies to define causes are often abandoned, resulting in a diagnosis of end-stage idiopathic cardiomyopathy. The frequency of pathogenic variants was similar in pediatric (42.9%) and adult (43.6%) samples, but the distribution of mutated genes differed (P=8.30×10-4).

Abstract 4134590: Procedural Related Major Adverse Events of Cardiac Catheterization in Pediatric Patients with Cardiomyopathy: Insights from IMPACT Registry

Circulation

Background:Despite the role of cardiac catheterization for hemodynamic assessment and endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in children with cardiomyopathy, data on procedure-related major adverse events (MAE) in this population is lacking. We aim to describe the rate of MAE in children with cardiomyopathy undergoing cardiac catheterization.

Abstract TP261: Stroke in pediatric heart transplant patients

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Pediatric heart transplant (PHT) recipient survival has improved. Yet, neurologic morbidity related to heart failure and its treatment persist. CHD was the pre-PHT diagnosis in 21(62%) of stroke Pts, cardiomyopathy in 12(35%) and acquired heart disease in 1(3%).

Progressive Left Ventricular Remodeling for Predicting Mortality in Children With Dilated Cardiomyopathy: The Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Registry

Journal of the American Heart Association

Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundPediatric dilated cardiomyopathy often leads to death or cardiac transplantation. The risk for death or cardiac transplantation up to 7 years later was lower when LVFS was improved at 1 year (hazard ratio [HR], 0.83;P=0.004) P<0.001).ConclusionsProgressive

Championing Change: Celebrating Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) Women Faculty

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

However, women remain concentrated in certain specialties (pediatrics and women’s specialties) and are less likely to be promoted to healthcare leadership roles. Dr. Lala-Trindade serves as the director of Heart Failure Research and leads the Data Coordinating Center for the NHLBI Cardiothoracic Surgery Network.
