Background: Understanding the clinical course and short-term outcomes of suspected myocarditis after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination has important public health implications in decision to vaccinate youth. Methods: We retrospectively collected data on patients <21 years old presenting before July 4, 2021, with within 30 days COVID-19 vaccination. Lake Louise criteria were used for cardiac MRI findings. Myocarditis cases classified as confirmed or probable basis Centers...
The Fontan operation creates a total cavopulmonary connection, circulation in which the importance of pulmonary vascular resistance is magnified. Over time, this leads to deterioration cardiovascular efficiency associated with decline exercise performance. Rigorous clinical trials aimed at improving physiology and guiding pharmacotherapy are lacking.
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is one of the most serious congenital cardiac anomalies. Typically, it managed with a series 3 palliative operations or transplantation. Our goal was to quantify inpatient resource burden HLHS across multiple academic medical centers.The University HealthSystem Consortium an alliance 101 centers and 178 affiliated hospitals that share diagnostic, procedural, financial data on all discharges. We examined use by patients who underwent staged procedure...
Background Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) may occur after Kawasaki disease (KD) and lead to important morbidity mortality. As CAA in patients with KD are rare heterogeneous lesions, prognostication risk stratification difficult. We sought derive the cumulative associated factors for cardiovascular complications CAAs KD. Methods Results A 34-institution international registry of 1651 who had (maximum Z score ≥2.5) was used. Time-to-event analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier method Cox...
Abstract Background: Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) require lifelong cardiology follow-up. Many experience gaps in care around the age of transition to adult-oriented associated comorbidity. We describe impact a clinic-based intervention on follow-up rates this high-risk population. Methods: Patients ≥11 years seen paediatric outpatient CHD Transition Clinic completed self-assessment questionnaires, underwent focused teaching, and were followed clinic registry assessment...
Importance Data are limited regarding adverse reactions after COVID-19 vaccination in patients with a history of multisystem inflammatory syndrome children (MIS-C). The lack vaccine safety data this unique population may cause hesitancy and concern for many families health care professionals. Objective To describe following MIS-C. Design, Setting, Participants In multicenter cross-sectional study including 22 North American centers participating National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute,...
Background Heart failure phenotyping in single‐ventricle Fontan patients is challenging, particularly with normal ejection fraction (EF). The objective of this study was to identify abnormal diastolic function, who are high risk for heart preserved (HFpEF), and characterize their cardiac mechanics, exercise functional health status. Methods Results Data were obtained from the Pediatric Network Cross‐sectional Study database. EF considered if <50%. Diastolic function defined as...
Obesity may affect the clinical course of Kawasaki disease (KD) in children and multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19.
Abstract Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors reduce cardiovascular outcomes in patients with congestive heart failure and a biventricular circulation. Congestive Fontan univentricular circulation is distinctly different. Experience sodium-glucose this group has not yet been well described. Objectives: This work describes safety tolerability of Methods: Single-centre review prescribed for failure. Primary outcome was or need discontinuation. Secondary were changes New York...
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and Kawasaki disease (KD) show a broad spectrum of clinical severity, from relatively benign course to requiring admission the intensive care unit (ICU). With either, deterioration may be rapid unexpected. The aim study was develop machine learning (ML) model predict future ICU for patients with KD or MIS-C augment decision-making. We developed prediction using 2,539 <18 years age enrolled International Disease Registry. Using discrete...
BACKGROUND: Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children is characterized by high rates of acute cardiovascular involvement with rapid recovery organ dysfunction. However, information regarding long-term sequelae lacking. We sought to characterize the systolic function and myocardial tissue properties using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging a multicenter observational cohort patients. METHODS: In this study, comprising 32 centers North America, CMR studies were analyzed core...
The objective of this study was to describe current management and short-term outcomes for patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome representative nationwide experience. Additionally, identifies risk factors associated mortality in undergoing staged surgical palliation.The University HealthSystem Consortium database queried identify all hospital admissions between 1998 2007 a diagnosis syndrome. Procedure codes were used determine management, ascertained by discharge status (discharged,...
