Background: The sequelae of COVID-19 vaccine associated myocarditis (C-VAM) are incompletely understood. We sought to characterize the clinical course, myocardial injury, and outcomes in C-VAM.Methods: In this retrospective observational cohort multicenter study across 38 hospitals U.S., we compared cardiac imaging characteristics 333 C-VAM patients from April 2021 November 2022 with those 100 multisystem inflammatory syndrome children (MIS-C) explored risk factors for injury C-VAM.Findings:...
Right ventricular outflow tract intervention spans transcatheter, surgical, or hybrid pulmonary valve replacement methodologies. Standardised pre-procedure workup includes cardiac MRI to identify an intended site (landing zone). Our institutional practice measurement of the right perimeter (circumference) this in end-systole. primary aim was compare patients by their values palliative interventions performed (transcatheter versus surgical/hybrid methodologies).Retrospective review undergoing...
Acute rejection (AR) continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric heart transplant recipients (PHTx). Endomyocardial biopsy is the standard-of-care for diagnosis of AR, but it invasive associated with can miss patchy AR. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed using parametric mapping novel texture analysis detect patterns myocardial edema fibrosis. Patients AR had differences compared patients without CMR has potential as a non-invasive method detection PHTx.
