Systemic right ventricle in elderly patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries: Clinical profile, cardiac biomarkers, and echocardiographic parameters

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2020
Objective: The number of patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) surviving to old age is increasing. This study therefore sought to characterize 'geriatric' systemic right ventricle (sRV) in terms of clinical ...

Cardiac index in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot: Are we missing the forest for the trees?

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2021
Background: Many cardiac parameters have been associated with poor outcomes in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and significant residual pulmonary regurgitation (PR).

Dynamic Views of Structure and Function during Heart Morphogenesis [PDF]

, 2006
Congenital heart defects remain the most common birth defect in humans, occurring in over 1% of live births. The high prevalence of cardiac malformations can be partially attributed to limited knowledge regarding the embryonic roots of the disease.
