In light of the limited availability of donor organs, particularly in Europe, the number of children requiring ventricular assist device support is rising at an unavoidable rate.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent a single and primary pediatricheart transplantation.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. Survivorship from congenitalheartdisease has improved rapidly secondary to advances in surgical and medical management. This is an updated report of the American Heart Association's previous publications on exercise in children.
6, 2025 Medtronic plc hasannounced it received CE ( Conformit Europenne ) Mark for the Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) System, a minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for congenitalheartdisease patients with native or surgically repaired right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT).
Zeke and Zane were both diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) before birth. As far as congenitalheartdiseases go, HLHS falls on the rarer end of the spectrum. The Heart Institute collaborates with the CFCC through the Fetal Cardiology Program.
Aims A proportion of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenitalheartdisease (PAH-CHD) do not fit in the current classification. The role of ASD in pediatric PH should be reconsidered. No survival difference could be demonstrated between the groups.
This study aims to develop a risk adjustment methodology introducing a novel, clinically meaningful adverse event outcome and incorporating a modern understanding of risk.METHODS:Data from diagnostic only and interventional cases with defined case types were collected for patients ≤18 years of age and ≥2.5
Advances in pediatric cardiac surgery have resulted in a recent growing epidemic of children and young adults with congenitalheartdiseases (CHDs). Cardiac function significantly influences outcomes in CHDs, necessitating regular patient follow-up to detect clinical changes and relevant risk factors.
citizen, national, or permanent resident; meet educational and credential requirements; and either be employed or begin training as a pediatric specialist at a PSLRP-approved site serving a medically underserved area or population. This program invests in current and future pediatric cardiothoracic surgeons to meet the growing demand.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundExercise parameters can be altered in children with congenitalheartdisease or acquired heartdisease compared with children with normal hearts.
Environmental toxicants and pollutants are causes of adverse health consequences, including well-established associations between environmental exposures and cardiovascular diseases. Emerging evidence suggests that environmental exposures in early life may be key risk factors for cardiovascular conditions across the life span.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundGaps in care (GIC) are common for patients with congenitalheartdisease (CHD) and can lead to worsening clinical status, unplanned hospitalization, and mortality. Several SDOH, including a low COI, were associated with GIC.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundThe complexity of congenitalheartdisease has been primarily stratified on the basis of surgical technical difficulty, specific diagnoses, and associated outcomes. had underlying congenitalheartdisease; 44.8% were sedated.
Objectives Dysnatremia is a common electrolyte disturbance after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery for congenitalheartdisease (CHD) and a known risk factor for adverse neurological events and clinical outcomes. Methods We monitored continuous EEG in 340 children during the initial 48 h following cardiac surgery.
This study aimed to investigate the early and late efficacy, survival, and safety of CRT in patients with tetralogy of Fallot.METHODS:Data were analyzed from an observational, retrospective, multicenter cohort, initiated jointly by the Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society and the International Society of Adult CongenitalHeartDisease.
Here the full text of the article: Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm: History and Chronology of the Main Discoveries Hope that helps! : ) Ken Case Outcome: The patient had never had any cardiopulmonary complaints, was otherwise completely healthy. He was admitted overnight and had no complications.
Press Release ERAS Program Expedites Recovery for CongenitalHeart Surgery Patients January 30, 2021 jbagley Wed, 01/27/2021 - 16:12 Study shows multidisciplinary pediatric care improves patient outcomes and experiences **A recorded press briefing featuring this research is available.**
BACKGROUND:The United Network of Organ Sharing made changes to the priority for allocation of hearts for transplantation (HT) in 2016 for pediatric patients and 2018 for adult patients.
Management of these complications with standard‐of‐care treatment is suboptimal for these children.Methods and ResultsThe effectiveness and safety of dabigatran were demonstrated in pivotal pediatric studies for the treatment of acute venous thromboembolism (VTE; NCT01895777) and secondary VTE prevention (NCT02197416).
composite outcomes), emergency department (2830 patients; median age, 7.7 composite outcomes), and external validation (5088 patients; median age, 4.3 composite outcomes) cohorts. Saliency mapping highlighted ECG components that influenced model predictions (precordial QRS complexes for all outcomes; T waves for LV dysfunction).
Noninvasive surrogates for RVAC using echocardiographic estimates of right ventricular function, such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), have been shown to correlate with invasively measured RVAC and predict clinical outcomes in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension.
RWMAs can be an independent indicator of adverse cardiovascular events and death in patients with cardiovascular diseases like myocardial infarction (MI) and congenitalheartdisease. Automated machine learning-based assessment of RWMA has the potential to improve the efficiency of all readers. “An
KaplanMeier analysis, logrank tests, and Cox regression analysis were performed to assess outcome and identify significant predictors of mortality.ResultsAmong 56 children with pulmonary vein stenosis (33 male children, 59%), 20 (36%) died at a median age of 10 months (interquartile range,424 months). 95% CI, 1.610.4];P=0.004),
BackgroundVeno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation serves as a crucial mechanical circulatory support for pediatric patients with severe heartdiseases, but the mortality rate remains high. To estimate short‐term mortality, we used random‐effects meta‐analysis.
