Pregnancy in Women with Congenital Heart Disease: A Guide for the General Cardiologist
Author(s): Catherine R Weinberg , Amier Ahmad , Boyangzi Li , et al Added: 3 years ago
Dyspnea, palpitations, edema, and fatigue are common symptoms during pregnancy. For women with congenital heart disease (CHD), it may be difficult to discern whether symptoms are due to normal pregnancy or underlying cardiac disease. Although most women with CHD tend to experience successful pregnancies, morbidity and mortality are significantly increased with more complex CHD lesions.1–6 Women… View more

Essentials in the Post-operative Evaluation of Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Jonathan N Johnson , Frank Cetta Added: 3 years ago
The last 60 years have seen significant changes in the care of congenital heart disease for both pediatric and adult patients. Increasing patient survival rates have widened the number and scope of potential patients seen by congenital cardiologists.1 These patients often undergo multiple surgeries, particularly since few lesions are truly ‘repaired.’ The majority of patients will have residua or… View more

Introduction Compared with patients with structurally normal hearts, there is an even greater need to suppress pathologic tachycardias in patients with congenital heart disease. The decrease in diastolic filling time and potential loss of atrioventricular (AV) synchrony are more poorly tolerated in these patients, proportionate to the degree of underlying systolic and diastolic dysfunction… View more

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using biventricular pacing has been proven to be effective in adult patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and QRS prolongation. In this group of patients, CRT improves exercise tolerance, symptoms of heart failure and all-cause mortality.1 In addition, there is growing evidence that inter- and intra-ventricular dyssynchrony induced by… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia

Pediatric interventional cardiology was born 40 years ago in 1966, when William Rashkind developed balloon septostomy in neonates with transposition of the great arteries.1 Almost a decade later, Andreas Gruentzig developed coronary angioplasty (between 1972 and 1976), which heralded an explosive era of interventional therapy for adults with heart disease, overshadowing the advances in… View more

Coarctation: A Review
Author(s): Marc G Cribbs Added: 3 years ago
The incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is slightly less than 1% of all live births.1 With extensive medical and surgical innovation over the past 50 years, and the high-quality care received in childhood, 85–90% of children with CHD in the US survive into adulthood. As a result, the number of adults with congenital heart defects in the US now exceeds 1 million, with a projected continued… View more
