Peak Oxygen Uptake on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Is a Predictor for Severe Arrhythmic Events during Three-Year Follow-Up in Patients with Complex Congenital Heart Disease

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk for severe arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) effectively prevent SCD, risk stratification for primary prophylaxis in ...

RNA expression profiles and regulatory networks in human right ventricular hypertrophy due to high pressure load

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) occurs in high pressure afterload, e.g., tetralogy of Fallot/pulmonary stenosis (TOF/PS). Such RVH is associated with alterations in energy metabolism, neurohormonal and epigenetic dysregulation (e.g ...
