Environmental Contaminants and Congenital Heart Defects: A Re-Evaluation of the Evidence
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018 Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are a common birth defect of largely unknown etiology, with high fetal and neonatal mortality. A review of CHDs and environmental contaminant exposure found that meta-analyses showed only modest associations for smoking ...

Coxsackievirus B3 infection early in pregnancy induces congenital heart defects through suppression of fetal cardiomyocyte proliferation [PDF]
, 2021 Background Coxsackievirus B (CVB) is the most common cause of viral myocarditis. It targets cardiomyocytes through coxsackie and adenovirus receptor, which is highly expressed in the fetal heart.

Spectrum of congenital heart defects in Croatia
European Journal of Pediatrics, 2009 The aim of our study was to investigate the incidence of congenital defects in children born in Croatia during a period of 5 years, its association with extracardiac malformations, its treatment, and outcome. Medical information about the patients was obtained from 14 paediatric cardiology centres that cover the whole country.

Ventricular Function in Congenital Heart Defects [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2016 In order to understand the physiology of the neonatal heart, one must have an understanding of both the fetal circulation and the cardiac function of the adult heart. Transitional changes occur in the neonatal period, where the function of one ventricle has important effects on the function of the contralateral ventricle (1).

Protein Losing Enteropathy following Fontan Palliation in the Single Ventricle Population [PDF]
, 2014 Congenital heart defects requiring single ventricle palliation are a rare but life-threatening occurrence. There are multiple defects resulting in single ventricle physiology including defects in which the right or left ventricle within the heart is ...
