Introduction:The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased use of telemedicine. There are limited data on patient experience with telemedicine adults congenital heart disease (ACHD). We hypothesized that due to their complex medical history, ACHD would prefer in-person clinic visits over telemedicine.Methods:We conducted a nurse-administered telephone survey based Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality recommendations assess after the early part from March 2020 June 2020.Results:Of 216...
Background Rhythm disorders are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). Infrequent or asymptomatic arrhythmias may not be detected by routine monitoring. Implantable loop recorders (ILRs), such as Reveal LINQTM, have been useful long-term monitoring for cryptogenic stroke. Objective We propose LINQTM will detect arrhythmias, documented other modalities, resulting change management ACHD patients. Methods This is a single center...
Cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common neonatal cardiac tumor and typically associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Although these tumors may naturally regress, some patients require surgical resection because of instability. If not fully resected, also medical therapy to improve their hemodynamics. Everolimus, a mammalian target rapamycin inhibitor, has shown promise in reducing TSC, but drug's impact without TSC been reported. Monitoring response limited echocardiograms, which...
Abstract Background Mixed pulmonary disease with regurgitation (PR) and stenosis (PS) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) can negatively impact ventricular health. Myocardial strain has been shown to be more sensitive at detecting occult dysfunction compared right ejection fraction (RV EF). We hypothesize that rTOF patients predominant PS will have lower RV global longitudinal GLS) prior post‐transcatheter valve replacement (TPVR). Methods A retrospective cohort who underwent cardiac...
Ablation of atrial tachyarrhythmia in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is challenging because complex anatomy and high scar burden. We proposed that the addition high-density mapping PentaRay® (Biosense Webster, Inc) catheter (EAM+P) to 3-dimensional electroanatomic (EAM) allows for rapid acquisition high-resolution maps shorter procedure times.In this single-center, retrospective cohort study patients ACHD who underwent arrhythmia ablation, were divided those ablation EAM...

Patients single ventricle palliation have high prevalence arrhythmias represent unique...
Introduction: COVID19 pandemic has resulted in drastic changes healthcare delivery with increase use of telemedicine. There is limited data on patient experience telemedicine adults congenital heart disease (ACHD). Hypothesis: We hypothesized that ACHD patients would prefer in-person clinic visits over telemedicine, and this be especially true for > 65 years who may at a higher risk experiencing technical limitations. Methods: conducted nurse administered telephone survey (Figure 1A)...
Background Mixed pulmonary disease with regurgitation (PR) and stenosis (PS) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) can negatively impact ventricular health. Myocardial strain has been shown to be more sensitive at detecting occult dysfunction compared right ejection fraction (RV EF). We hypothesize that rTOF patients predominant PS will have lower RV global longitudinal (RVGLS) prior post-transcatheter valve replacement (TPVR). Methods A retrospective cohort who underwent cardiac magnetic...
Introduction: A dilated main pulmonary artery (MPA) seen in congenital heart disease (CHD) or arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare cause of angina due to left coronary (LMCA) compression. Case: 49 year old male with no prior cardiac history presented substernal chest pain. He reported exercise intolerance for several years. On exam he had an oxygen saturation 85%, loud P2, fixed split second sound and ejection click. Electrocardiogram showed right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy significant ST...
Introduction: After the initial surgical repair of tetralogy Fallot (rTOF), right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction is common, with pulmonary stenosis (PS), regurgitation, or both. Obese adults rTOF have worse biventricular systolic function, and greater post-operative valve replacement morbidity than non-obese patients. Transcatheter PVR (TPVR) used increasingly, though no studies examined impact body mass index (BMI) on hemodynamics in subsequent TPVR. Hypothesis: BMI affects outcomes...
