Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common type of birth defect, affecting nearly 1 in 100 newborns. These structural abnormalities of the heart are present at birth. Understanding Congenital Heart Defects A congenital heart defect refers to a problem with the structure of the heart that is present at birth.

Heart transplant rates were low but increased slightly in 2020 for patients without CHD, with DV and SV CHD patients showing fluctuating rates peaking in 2018 and 2019, then declining in 2020. Cardiogenic shock rates were highest among SV-CHD patients, with significant fluctuations, followed by DV-CHD patients.

Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:In 2018, an algorithm-based allocation system for heart transplantation (HT) was implemented in France. The cumulative incidence of waitlist mortality estimated with competing risk analysis and incidence of transplantation were compared between diagnosis groups.

Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication in patients with complete dextro-transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after atrial switch (D-TGA/AS) and congenitally corrected TGA (ccTGA). In follow-up (median 23 months), HFHs/year were similar to the year prior to IHM (median 0 (IQR 0–1.0) before vs 0 (0–0.8)

After excluding patients with congenital or rheumatic heart disease, heart transplant recipients, or those without baseline echocardiogram, a total of 130 patients were included in the analysis. Echocardiographic data were analyzed at baseline before ablation, and at early follow-up within 1-year postablation.

Arrhythmias (Irregular Heartbeats) Persistent abnormal heart rhythms can disrupt the heart’s pumping efficiency, eventually causing it to enlarge to maintain blood flow. Congenital Heart Defects Some individuals are born with heart defects that cause parts of the heart to work harder, leading to enlargement over time.
