Physiological and clinical consequences of relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction late after repair of congenital heart defects. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a common problem after repair of congenital heart disease. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) can treat this condition without consequent pulmonary regurgitation or ...

5D Flow MRI Reveals Respiration‐Driven Changes in Blood Flow Energetics in Congenital Heart Disease

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Hemodynamic monitoring is essential for patients with right‐sided congenital heart disease (CHD). Respiration may have an increased impact on pulmonary flow in these patients that cannot be assessed by standard tools including 4D flow MRI. This study uses 5D flow MRI to assess respiratory‐cycle variations in flow energetics in patients

Recurrent lung nodules as a presentation of ventricular septal defect‐related endocarditis

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, 2019
Infective endocarditis is an uncommon microbial infection of the endocardial surface of the heart. Patients with structural heart disease, such as a ventricular septal defect, are at higher risk for infective endocarditis and clinicians must have a high ...

Impact of Priming Volume Reduction on Hematocrit Retention in Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Retrospective Analysis

open access: yesPediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Retrograde autologous priming and venous antegrade priming replace the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit crystalloid with patient blood to mitigate hemodilution. However, their effectiveness in pediatric patients, particularly when analyzed as continuous variables, remains unclear.

Echocardiographic recognition of a criss-cross heart with double outlet right ventricle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Crisscross heart (CCH) is a rare cardiac malformation characterized by crossing of the inflow streams of the two ventricles due to an apparent twisting of the heart about its long axis.

Yield of Whole Genome Sequencing for Pathogenic Single Nucleotide Variants in Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to assess the diagnostic yield of pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) single nucleotide variants (SNVs) using whole genome sequencing (WGS) in congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods A systematic search of three databases (2000–2024) was conducted, and two reviewers independently ...

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association, EarlyView., 2021
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.

Changes in Serum Natriuretic Peptide Levels after Percutaneous Closure of Small to Moderate Ventricular Septal Defects

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
Background. B-type natriuretic peptide has been shown to be a very sensitive and specific marker of heart failure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defects with Amplatzer septal occluders on ...

Diagnostic Yield of Post‐Mortem Fetal Micro‐CT for Thoracic Abnormalities

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
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 ...

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Spinal Dysraphism: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Fetal Cases

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinal dysraphism (SD) results from incomplete neural tube closure and encompasses a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies with genetic and environmental etiologies. Although genetic contributions are recognized, causative variants remain insufficiently defined, and the clinical implications of extended genetic testing on ...
