Effects of Mitral Annular Disjunction in Marfan Syndrome
The researchers’ goal was to define the prevalence of mitral annular disjunction and examine its association with cardiovascular outcomes and arrhythmia among patients with Marfan syndrome.
Congenital Heart Disease
PEACH: A Validated Risk Assessment Score for Adults Undergoing Congenital Heart Disease Surgery
A new formula for predicting mortality after cardiac surgery for adults with congenital heart defects, either newly discovered or needing revision, helps physicians weigh the risks vs benefits and improve informed consent and decision making.
Residual Lesions Linked to Postoperative Congenital Cardiac Surgery Outcomes
This study evaluated factor associated with outcomes after cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects.
Socioeconomic Status Tied to Detection of Congenital Heart Defects
Lower socioeconomic quartile (SEQ), Hispanic ethnicity, and rural residence are associated with lower prenatal detection (PND) of congenital heart disease, specifically transposition of the great arteries (TGA).
FDA Approves First Nonsurgical Heart Valve for Congenital Heart Disease
The Harmony TPV System provides less invasive option to treat pulmonary regurgitation in patients with native or surgically repaired right ventricular outflow tract.
Atrial Switch Linked to Higher Long-Term Risk of Heart Failure and Death Risk
Risk model predicts patients at low, intermediate, and high risk for heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, and death after atrial switch for transposition of the great arteries.
Poorer Exercise Capacity Persists With Ventricular Septal Defects
As they get older, patients with surgically closed or unrepaired congenital ventricular septal defects (VSDs) have poorer exercise capacity than their healthy peers.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With CHD: Developments in Treatments, Remaining Gaps According to Experts
PAH associated with CHD is linked to significant reductions in survival and quality of life, especially for patients progressing to Eisenmenger syndrome.
Udenafil NDA Submitted for Rare Congenital Heart Condition
A NDA has been submitted to the FDA for udenafil to improve the physiology of patients aged ≥12 years with single ventricle heart disease (SVHD) who have undergone the Fontan operation.
Stiffened Dilated Ascending Aorta Frequent in Repaired CHD, Associated With Reduced Exercise Capacity
Adolescents with complex congenital heart disease who have undergone surgical repair were frequently found to have a stiffened and dilated ascending aorta.
