Prenatal diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyoma: implications for predicting tuberous sclerosis complex and guiding perinatal management

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify prenatal predictors of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in fetuses with one or more cardiac rhabdomyomas (CR), evaluate an integrated multimodal diagnostic workflow using fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and trio whole‐exome sequencing (trio‐WES) and characterize perinatal outcomes.

Risk of minor congenital heart defect in infants conceived via assisted reproductive technology: cohort study from the Copenhagen Baby Heart Study

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Infertility affects up to 20% of couples in high‐income countries, which has led to an increased use of assisted reproductive technology (ART). While previous studies have linked ART to a higher risk of major congenital heart defects (CHD), less is known about the associated risk of minor CHD.

Cardiovascular outcomes for Australian women with rheumatic heart disease during pregnancy: A retrospective linked data analysis, 2002–2017

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort study used linked data to measure the proportion of women with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) who experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after 20 weeks of gestation. Before birth, 4.5% of women with initially uncomplicated RHD and 31.8% of women with initially complicated RHD experienced RHD‐MACE.

CoolCuddle and Autonomic Regulation in Infants With Hypoxic‐Ischaemic Encephalopathy: An Intervention Study

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim We evaluated the impact of ‘CoolCuddle’, parental cuddling during therapeutic hypothermia intervention for hypoxic‐ischaemic encephalopathy, on heart rate variability (HRV). Methods In this prospective, single‐group, interventional study with repeated measures, we included infants ≥ 36 weeks' gestation undergoing hypothermia and CoolCuddle

Clinical applications of fetal echocardiography

Archives of Acoustics, 2015
Recent advances of echocardiography have made it possible to study cardiac anatomy and circulatory physiology of fetus. We studied the foetal cardiac structures and physiology by cross-sectional and M-mode echocardiography in 200 fetuses at 32-40 weeks ...

Methaemoglobinaemia: From pathophysiology to contemporary clinical management

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Methaemoglobin (MetHb) is an oxidised form of haemoglobin (Hb) unable to bind oxygen. Raised levels of MetHb reduce the blood's oxygen‐carrying capacity, causing potentially severe hypoxaemia and possible death. The condition arises from three main pathologies: mutations in globin genes causing Haemoglobin‐M, inherited deficiency of the enzyme ...

A novel selective stabilizer of the ryanodine receptor 2 prevents stress‐induced ventricular arrhythmias without impairing cardiac function

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Aberrant activation of type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2) causes lethal arrhythmias, such as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Developing drugs that suppress RyR2 hyperactivation may be key to novel arrhythmia treatments.
