BACKGROUND: The objective was to better understand Doppler hemodynamics and exercise capacity in patients with Fontan palliation by delineating the hemodynamic mechanism for temporal changes in their peak oxygen consumption (V̇o).
OBJECTIVE: Follow-up of right ventricular performance is important for patients with congenital heart disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is optimal for this purpose. However, observer-dependency of manual analysis of right ventricular volume...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the predictive value of atrial natriuretic peptide, β-type natriuretic peptide, copeptin, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) as indicators of low cardiac output syndrome i...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether steroid replacement therapy improved hemodynamics in infants after surgery for congenital heart disease only when they develop adrenal insufficiency. The authors retrospectively investigated adrenal function and eval...
BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) accounts for up to 3 % of congenital cardiac defects, which is routinely repaired via median sternotomy. Minimally invasive approach such as endoscopic or robotic assisted repair for AVSD has not been...

The position of the hinge point of mitral annulus (MA) is important for segmentation, modeling and multimodalities registration of cardiac structures. The main difficulties in identifying the hinge point of MA are the inherent noisy, low resolution o...
BACKGROUND: Waitlist mortality remains a critical issue for pediatric heart transplant (HTx) candidates, particularly for candidates with congenital heart disease. Listing center organ offer acceptance practices have been identified as a factor influ...
Congenital heart disease affects approximately 1% of children worldwide, with a number of cases in resource-limited settings remaining undiagnosed through school age. While cardiac auscultation is a key screening method, its effectiveness varies wide...
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is independently associated with cardiovascular events in patients with congenital heart disease. Although artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) analysis is predictive of ...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Robust and convenient risk stratification of patients with paediatric and adult congenital heart disease (CHD) is lacking. This study aims to address this gap with an artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram (ECG) tool ...
