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?
Background: Many cardiac parameters have been associated with poor outcomes in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and significant residual pulmonary regurgitation (PR).

Abstract Congenital heart disease occurs in approximately 8/1000 live births. The most common lesion is a ventricular septal defect. Many are small and do not need surgery. Interventional catheterization has advanced considerably in the last two decades.

The Year in Congenital Heart Disease
This has been an exciting time in congenital heart disease (CHD) because more conditions are being palliated or repaired effectively and more adults are leading more active and productive lives because of their care by pediatric cardiologists and specialists in adult CHD. Koh et al.

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

The impact of Hnrnpl deficiency on transcriptional patterns of developing muscle cells
We performed nanopore whole‐transcriptome sequencing comparing RNA from Hnrnpl‐knockdown versus control C2C12 myoblasts to investigate the contributions of Hnrnpl to muscle development. Our results indicate that Hnrnpl regulates the expression of genes involved with Notch signaling and skeletal muscle, particularly splicing patterns of specific muscle ...
