Task Force 1: The Changing Profile of Congenital Heart Disease in Adult Life

TL;DR: The extraordinary advances in cardiac surgery, intensive care, and noninvasive diagnosis over the last 50 years have led to an enormous growth in the U.S. and throughout the world in the number of adults with congenital heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanoelectrical interaction in tetralogy of Fallot. QRS prolongation relates to right ventricular size and predicts malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death.

TL;DR: Chronic right ventricular volume overload after tetralogy of Fallot repair is related to diastolic function and correlated with QRS prolongation and the risk of symptomatic arrhythmia is high when markedright ventricular enlargement and QRS prolongedation develop.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eisenmenger syndrome. Factors relating to deterioration and death

TL;DR: Deterioration in Ability Index (worsening symptoms), age, complex defects, blood creatinine level, right ventricular dysfunction and non-cardiac surgery were variables which affected the prognosis adversely with uni- and multivariate analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pregnancy in cyanotic congenital heart disease. Outcome of mother and fetus.

TL;DR: Univariate analysis suggested that maternal disease, Ability Index, hemoglobin, and arterial oxygen saturation before the pregnancy were factors that discriminated between successful and unsuccessful fetal outcome, with hemoglobin and arterials oxygen saturation being the most important predictors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ebstein's anomaly: presentation and outcome from fetus to adult.

TL;DR: In Ebstein's anomaly, fetal and neonatal presentation is associated with a poor outcome and can be predicted by the echocardiographic appearance and presence of associated lesions, in older children and adults.
