Background Recent evaluation of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) mortality demonstrates disproportionate burden within the United States. However, there are few contemporary data on US children living with acute fever (ARF) and RHD. Methods Results Twenty‐two pediatric institutions participated in a 10‐year review (2008–2018) electronic medical records echocardiographic databases 4 to 17 years diagnosed ARF/RHD determine demographics, diagnosis, management. Geocoding was used census tract‐based...
Right ventricular outflow tract stenting is a well-established palliative strategy primarily used for infants with tetralogy of Fallot but has not been reported pulmonary valve stenosis in Noonan syndrome. We describe an infant history extreme prematurity, syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and severe valvular supravalvular pulmonic who underwent right mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor therapy. This unique approach ultimately allowed discharge home postponement surgical...
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients with heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) are often restricted from sports and certain types of exercise. This study was designed to investigate the effect lifetime exercise exposure competitive participation on quality life (QOL) in patients 15–35 yr old syndromic (Marfan syndrome, Loeys–Dietz vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome) nonsyndromic HTAD (nsHTAD). Methods cross-sectional used questionnaires assess utilized PedsQL QOL Inventory. We developed an score...
Introduction: Traditionally, patients with heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) have been restricted from competitive sports due to concerns over acute dissection. Patients HTAD also exhibit lower quality of life (QOL) and physical fitness than general populations. Murine data suggests exercise improves health does not contribute enlargement. Hypothesis: Exercise participation will be associated improved QOL in patients. Aims: Investigate the effect lifetime ‘dose’ on aged 15-35...
