Neurocognitive and psychosocial outcomes in adult congenital heart disease: a lifespan approach

Heart, 2020
### Learning objectives In 1964, Glaser recognised that, ‘Despite benefits derived from these remarkable therapeutic gains, children with congenital heart disease face many difficulties in their efforts toward social and emotional adjustment.’1 In 1981,

Adult congenital heart disease: New challenges

International Journal of Cardiology, 2013
Improved surgical care from the last five decades, together with the advances in medical management, led to a remarkable increase of survival of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). However, aging of the CHD population brings new challenges.

Anesthesia and Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2006
ONGENITAL HEART DISEASES (CHDs) are common pathologies because they occur in 0.5% to 1% of births; among them, complex malformations are less frequent (0.15% of births).1 The major advances made over the past 30 years in congenital cardiac surgery have resulted in an increased number of children born with heart disease who enjoy long-term survival; 85%

Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2013
Adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) represent an increasing population both because anomalies that might have remained undiagnosed in the past are now being diagnosed later in life on imaging and because significant therapeutic advances have resulted in survival to adulthood of patients with complex CHD.

Heart Failure in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2014
Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients represent a special population in modern cardiology: though their numbers are growing, and they represent a high-resource utilization subgroup, a robust evidence-base of randomized trials is lacking. Much of the standard therapy is adapted from the treatment of ischemic and idiopathic left ventricle ...

Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Cardiology Clinics, 2015
Abstract Echocardiography has a fundamental role in patients with adult congenital heart disease. This chapter identifies the role of echocardiography in atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, atrioventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, and persistent left superior vena cava.

Heart transplantation in adult congenital heart disease

Heart, 2016
Heart failure (HF) in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) is vastly different to that observed in acquired heart disease. Unlike acquired HF in which pharmacological strategies are the cornerstone for protecting and improving ventricular function, ACHD-related HF relies heavily upon structural and other interventions to achieve these aims.

Adult Congenital Heart Disease

2017
Advances in medical and surgical care over the past few decades have dramatically improved the survival rate of the adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD). This population presents unique challenges for clinical management, often made difficult by limitations of standard 2-dimensional imaging techniques.

Adult congenital heart disease

Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine, 2012
Abstract Continued advances in the understanding and management of congenital heart disease (CHD) mean that over 90% of children born with CHD now survive to adulthood. This in turn results in greater numbers of adult patients presenting for medical and surgical care at non-specialist centres. A simple classification of adult congenital heart disease (

Adult Congenital Heart Diseases

2019
The study of congenital heart diseases is one of the most complex topics, since it requires anatomical, physiological and surgical knowledge. CMR allows a better morphological and functional evaluation of congenital heart diseases (CHD) compared with echocardiography, due to the capability of performing unlimited sections without any limitation as for ...
