Background Infants with congenitalheartdisease (CHD) are clinically vulnerable to cardiac deteriorations and intercurrent infections. The outcomes of cardiac intervention timing, infant mortality and hospital care utilisation, were described by birth eras, and riskfactors were explored using multivariable regression.
The increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults with congenitalheartdisease raises significant questions regarding its management. The unique underlying anatomic and physiological background further adds to the difficulty in eliminating the AF burden in these patients.
Over the past decade, new research has advanced scientific knowledge of neurodevelopmental trajectories, factors that increase neurodevelopmental risk, and neuroprotective strategies for individuals with congenitalheartdisease.
METHODS:The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heartdisease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing.
Objective To investigate the time to first childbirth and to compare the prevalence of assisted reproductive treatment (ART) in women with congenitalheartdisease (CHD) compared with women without CHD. ART was more common in women with CHD, but disease severity did not influence the need for ART.
Advances in pediatric cardiac surgery have resulted in a recent growing epidemic of children and young adults with congenitalheartdiseases (CHDs). In these patients, congenital defects themselves, surgical operations and remaining lesions may alter cardiac anatomy and impact the mechanical performance of both ventricles.
BackgroundCor Triatriatum is a congenital anomaly characterized by the abnormal presence of a fibromuscular junction in one of the atria, as seen on echocardiography. This anomaly can lead to major hemodynamic problems and obstruction of blood flow.
METHODS:The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heartdisease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing.
Introduction Heart transplantation (HT) is the only treatment option in children with heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathies and non-reparable congenitalheartdiseases. We did not identify significant riskfactors for arrhythmias post-HT.
Objectives Dysnatremia is a common electrolyte disturbance after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery for congenitalheartdisease (CHD) and a known riskfactor for adverse neurological events and clinical outcomes.
A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts. 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.
Background:Pregestational diabetes is an established riskfactor for congenitalheartdisease (CHD), including heterotaxy syndrome, which results from abnormal left-right (L-R) axis. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4134622-A4134622, November 12, 2024.
Congenitalheartdisease (CHD) is likely to increase vulnerability and understanding the predictors of adverse outcomes is key to optimising care. Objective Ascertain the impact of COVID-19 on people with CHD and define riskfactors for adverse outcomes.
Introduction:Adults with congenitalheartdisease (ACHD) are at risk for stroke, but riskfactors within this population are not well characterized.Methods:We reviewed medical records of patients evaluated in an ACHD clinic from 8/1/1995- 3/1/2022 who underwent brain imaging for any reason.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. However, the cause and riskfactors for mortality remain uncertain.MethodsThis retrospective, singlecenter study identified children with primary and secondary pulmonary vein stenosis through a cardiac catheterization database. 95% CI, 1.610.4];P=0.004), 95% CI, 0.96.7];P=0.084).ConclusionsThis
Furthermore, we conducted meta‐regression and binomial regression analyses to investigate the riskfactors associated with the outcome of interest. Patients with acute fulminant myocarditis exhibited more favorable survival rates compared with those with congenitalheartdisease.
Background Higher resting heart rate has been described as a riskfactor for adverse outcome in healthy individuals and cardiovascular patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate resting heart rate as riskfactor in adult congenitalheartdisease (ACHD).
IntroductionThe incidence of adverse short-term outcomes for infants who undergo complex congenitalheartdisease (CHD) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still high.
PH due to congenitalheartdisease can be in both Group 1 and 3 3.If CTEPH though essentially is a precap PH, the riskfactors of CTEPH and HFpEF can be shared one, making it combined pre and post cap PH a distinct possibility. Meanwhile, group 5 also has set of conditions of PH of unknown or unclear etiology.
While ACS may be less common in the pediatric population, it is important to consider riskfactors that may make OMI more likely (e.g., Diagnosis and Management of Myocarditis in Children: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association. Circulation. 2021 Aug 10;144(6):e123-e135. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001001.
BackgroundWhile several studies have explored the outcomes of transcatheter interventions for modified Blalock–Taussig shunts (MBTSs) in a broad range of congenitalheartdiseases, none have specifically examined the interventions in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) who underwent Norwood palliation (NP).MethodsThis
