Autonomous Fontan pump: Computational feasibility studyCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open
Objective: After Fontan palliation, patients with single-ventricle physiology are committed to chronic circulatory inefficiency for the duration of their lives. This is due in large part to the lack of a subpulmonary ventricle.

Fusion imaging of single-photon emission computed tomography and magnetic resonance lymphangiography for post-Fontan chylothorax

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
A preschool male patient with an extensive cardiac surgical history developed refractory chylothorax after a total cavopulmonary connection. Neither lymphoscintigraphy nor single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography could ...

Relationships of maternal hemodynamics in the third trimester with fetal umbilical artery doppler indices, estimated fetal weight and birth weight in women with and without congenital heart disease

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 170, Issue 1, Page 361-369, July 2025.
Abstract Objective To compare differences in maternal hemodynamics, measured non‐invasively by impedance cardiography and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)—at rest and with high‐intensity exercise—between pregnant women with corrected congenital heart disease (CHD) and low‐risk (LR) pregnant controls, and to correlate these findings with umbilical ...

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, Volume 199, Issue 2, Page 51-71, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena

Determinants of cardiac output in health and heart failure

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 637-648, 1 May 2025.
Abstract Sustained physical exercise depends on delivery of oxygenated blood to exercising muscle. At least among healthy individuals, bulk transport of blood is tightly matched to metabolic demand, such that cardiac output increases by ∼6 L/min for every 1 L/min increase in oxygen uptake. Multiple factors contribute to the regulation of cardiac output,

Exercise MR of Skeletal Muscles, the Heart, and the Brain

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 535-560, February 2025.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) is routinely used to evaluate organ morphology and pathology in the human body at rest or in combination with pharmacological stress as an exercise surrogate. With MR during actual physical exercise, we can assess functional characteristics of tissues and organs under real‐life stress conditions.

Cold atmospheric plasma therapy as a novel treatment for Berlin Heart EXCOR pediatric cannula infections

Artificial Organs, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 256-265, February 2025.
Summary of the in‐vitro ring tensile tests (left) and clinical cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) treatment of Berlin Heart EXCOR pediatric cannula infection (right). Abstract Background Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy has been recognized as effective treatment option for reducing bacterial load in chronic wounds, such as adult ventricular assist ...

Cyanotic heart disease due to a hypoplastic right ventricle with pulmonary valve atresia, an intact ventricular septum, with atrial level shunting in a day‐old Arabian foal

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract An 8‐h‐old Arabian foal was presented for evaluation of progressive weakness since birth. The foal presented laterally recumbent with pale and muddy mucous membranes, a grade III/VI left basilar murmur, and an irregularly, irregular rhythm. Transthoracic echocardiogram along with an electrocardiogram (EKG) was performed.

Perturbations of tryptophan catabolism via the kynurenine pathway are associated with stage 2 postoperative outcomes in single ventricle heart disease

Physiological Reports, Volume 12, Issue 22, November 2024.
Abstract Preliminary evidence suggests perturbations of the kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan metabolism in infants with single ventricle heart disease (SVHD). In 72 infants with SVHD undergoing stage 2 palliation (S2P) and 41 controls, we quantified serum KP metabolite concentrations via tandem mass spectroscopy pre‐S2P and post‐S2P at 2, 24, and ...
