<b>Objectives:</b> To evaluate late mortality and morbidity after an atrial switch procedure for correction of transposition the great arteries (TGA) to assess predictive factors adverse outcome. <b>Setting:</b> Tertiary referral centre. <b>Design patients:</b> Retrospective follow up study 137 patients surviving hospitalisation TGA (Mustard or Senning) in a single institution divided into two groups (simple complex) depending on presurgical anatomy. Several surgical were evaluated during...
Abstract Rates of successful surgical repair and life expectancy for patients with congenital heart disease have increased dramatically in recent decades. Thanks to advances diagnosis, treatment, follow-up care, an ever-increasing number individuals are reaching advanced age. The exposure cardiovascular risk factors during their lifetime is modifying the outlook late clinical trajectory adult (ACHD). Their burden shifting from acquired, primarily atherosclerotic (ASCVD) worrisome...
Information on mid-term outcomes of percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement (PPVR) with the Edwards Sapien (ES) in native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) are limited. This study assesses 76 patients who underwent PPVR between 2016 and 2022, comparing (40.8%) non-native (59.2%) RVOTs. The primary endpoint was a composite endocarditis, reinterventions, cardiovascular death secondary included prosthetic dysfunction (PVD), tricuspid regurgitation (TR), ejection fraction (RVEF), indexed...
Abstract This study explores parallels between systemic hypoxia adaptation in high-altitude populations and tumorigenesis. We identified EPAS1, a gene critical for such as Tibetans Sherpas, playing similar adaptive role tumors arising under hypoxic conditions. Tumors from patients with chronic displayed impaired DNA repair frequent emergence of EPAS1 variants, frequencies reaching up to 90%, echoing the positive selection seen dwellers. Mechanistically, gain-of-function mutations promote...
The main cause of long-term morbidity and mortality after the arterial switch operation for transposition great arteries is complication at coronary arteries. Myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance imaging represents a relatively novel appealing tool detecting myocardial ischaemia but with little experience in paediatric patients. purpose this paper to report single centre arteries.Twenty-eight patients aged 13-16 years an were included study. Coronary pattern, operative postoperative...
Objectives To develop, calibrate, test and validate a logistic regression model for accurate risk prediction of sudden cardiac death (SCD) non-fatal arrest (SCA) in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), based on baseline lesion-specific stratification individual’s characteristics, to guide primary prevention strategies. Methods We combined data from single-centre cohort 3311 consecutive ACHD patients (50% male) at 25-year follow-up 71 events (53 SCD 18 SCA) multicentre case–control...
The objective of this study is to evaluate obstetric outcomes in women with heart disease and determine whether current multidisciplinary management approaches adversely affect the mother, neonate, or both. Also compare accuracy several risk scores (RS) including modified World Health Organization classification (mWHO) CARPREG predict neonatal complications addition value Uteroplacental-Doppler flow (UDF) parameters complications.A prospective cohort examined (HD), majority whom had...
