Ultrasound‐Based Z Score and Pulmonary Valve/Aortic Valve Diameter Ratio Improving the Predictive Value of Fetal Aortic Stenosis

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
A total of 24 singleton fetuses with suspected AS who underwent two or more fetal echocardiograms were enrolled in this study. Using electronic spatiotemporal image correlation (eSTIC) technology, the AV and PV Z scores, along with the PV/AV ratio, were measured and compared between two echocardiographic examinations to assess diagnostic efficacy ...

Most costly and prevalent reasons for hospitalization in children with medical complexity in Ontario, Canada

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Children with medical complexity (CMC) have chronic health conditions often associated with functional limitations. CMC comprise 1%–5% of the pediatric population. In Canada, their care accounts for one‐third of pediatric health spending.

Fetal Ductal Constriction, Pulmonary Hypertension and Atrial Septum Mobility

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Fetuses with ductal constriction (FDC), pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular overload after maternal exposure to PGE2 inhibitors—nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or polyphenols (PF)—have increased septum primum excursion index (SPEI), the ratio between maximal septum primum displacement and left atrial diameter.

A Coupled Experimental and Computational Approach to Quantify Deleterious Hemodynamics, Vascular Alterations, and Mechanisms of Long-Term Morbidity in Response to Aortic Coarctati [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is associated with morbidity despite treatment. Although mechanisms remain elusive, abnormal hemodynamics and vascular biomechanics are implicated. We present a novel approach that facilitates quantification of

Bilateral Transcranial Doppler Monitoring During Neonatal Cardiac Surgery; Guidance for Clinical and Scientific Use

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neonates undergoing cardiac surgery face a high risk of neurological injury and neurodevelopmental complications. Transcranial Doppler monitoring is used and validated in adults to measure cerebral blood flow and can provide valuable insights into cerebral perfusion in neonates.

Percutaneous recanalization of totally occluded coarctation of the aorta in children using Brockenbrough needle and covered stents

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2016
Percutaneous treatment of totally occluded coarctation of the aorta has been reported predominantly in adults. The success and challenges of this procedure in children is reported in few patients.

The Effects of Intervention on Heart Power in Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2017
Background In aortic coarctation, current guidelines recommend reducing pressure gradients that exceed given thresholds. From a physiological standpoint this should ideally improve the energy expenditure of the heart and thus prevent long term organ ...

Yield of Whole Genome Sequencing for Pathogenic Single Nucleotide Variants in Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to assess the diagnostic yield of pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) single nucleotide variants (SNVs) using whole genome sequencing (WGS) in congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods A systematic search of three databases (2000–2024) was conducted, and two reviewers independently ...

Treating a 20 mm Hg Gradient Alleviates Myocardial Hypertrophy in Experimental Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2017
Background Children with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can have a hyperdynamic and remodeled left ventricle (LV) from increased afterload. Literature from an experimental model suggests the putative 20 mm Hg blood pressure gradient (BPG) treatment ...

Evolving Features of RASopathies Among Pregnancies With Abnormal Fetal Fluid Collections

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to characterize the fetal features across gestation and describe genotype‐phenotype correlations for pregnancies with fetal RASopathies that were more severely affected as they presented with at least one abnormal fluid collection.
