ABSTRACT Objective Fetuses with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and restrictive/intact atrial septum (RAS) have high mortality, partly due to pulmonary lymphangiectasia (PL). This study aimed to characterize atrial septal morphology in fetuses with HLHS and RAS and evaluate the impact of fetal intervention on PL and outcomes.

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers
Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.

Complete improvement in a patient with multiple irreversible defects of the left ventricle on 99m technetium-sestamibi SPECT after percutaneous coronary intervention. [PDF]
99mTc-sestamibi has been investigated as a potential viability marker; initial studies have shown good concordance between 201Tl and 99mTc-sestamibi activities in both viable and nonviable myocardium.

Diagnostic Yield of Post‐Mortem Fetal Micro‐CT for Thoracic Abnormalities
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to identify the imaging findings specifically for thoracic anomalies in 1200 Micro‐CT cases, independent of whether the abnormality contributed to the main diagnosis or cause of death. Method We analyzed 1200 Micro‐CT scans in an unselected, consecutive cohort between 2017 and 2024 to identify thoracic anomalies ...

Evolving Features of RASopathies Among Pregnancies With Abnormal Fetal Fluid Collections
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to characterize the fetal features across gestation and describe genotype‐phenotype correlations for pregnancies with fetal RASopathies that were more severely affected as they presented with at least one abnormal fluid collection.

A Case of Atrial Septal Defect Unveiled by the Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. [PDF]
ABSTRACT We present a case of a 51‐year‐old woman with atrial septal defect (ASD) masked by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Three months after PAH treatment with a combination of endothelin receptor antagonist and phosphodiesterase five inhibitor, the transthoracic echocardiography revealed left‐to‐right shunting through a secundum ASD.
