Background— Published nomograms of pediatric echocardiographic measurements are limited by insufficient sample size to assess the effects age, sex, race, and ethnicity. Variable methodologies have resulted in a wide range Z scores for single measurement. This multicenter study sought determine common adjusted body surface area (BSA) stratified Methods Results— Data collected from healthy nonobese children ≤18 years age at 19 centers with normal echocardiogram included ethnicity, height,...
In the past decade, many advances in care of patients undergoing Norwood procedure (NP) have been reported, but management remains nonstandardized at institutions. We studied impact a standardized protocol for neonates NP.Care NP has protocol-driven our institution since 2005, with routine use regional low flow perfusion; near infrared spectroscopy; phenoxybenzamine cardiopulmonary bypass; delayed sternal closure; peritoneal drainage; gastrostomy tubes; postoperative vocal cord assessment;...
Background— Outcomes after right ventricle (RV) decompression in infants with pulmonary atresia intact ventricular septum vary widely. Descriptions of outcomes are limited to small single-center studies. Methods and Results— Neonates undergoing RV for were included from 4 pediatric centers. Primary end point was reintervention post-RV decompression; secondary points circulation type at latest follow-up. Ninety-nine patients (71 28 virtual atresia) underwent median 3 (25th–75th, 2–5) days...
Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate correlation 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic assessment right ventricular (RV) and left (LV) size function with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children young adults. Methods Patients repaired tetralogy Fallot (n = 23) those who had normal RV volumes 13) a ejection fraction (EF) by MRI constituted the groups. Echocardiographic indices including end-diastolic area (EDa), end-systolic (ESa), fractional change (FAC), tricuspid annular...
Background The prenatal diagnosis of coarctation aorta (CoA) can prove problematic, with relatively high false‐positive and false‐negative rates. This significantly impacts both counseling postnatal management. We sought to evaluate a variety echo indices determine which would best predict neonatal CoA. Methods Fetal echocardiograms those COA were analyzed for the following: diameter cardiac valves, ascending aorta, distal transverse arch, aortic isthmus, ductus; right ( RV ) left...
Echocardiography is the mainstay for diagnosing congenital heart disease (CHD). Diagnostic errors can lead to suboptimal surgical outcomes. This multicenter pediatric echocardiography collaborative learning initiative explores reasons diagnostic errors, investigates associations between patient- and center-specific factors relays benefits of a approach decrease these as first step improve CHD Participating centers submitted evaluations on patients prior 2-ventricle repair into central...
