TL;DR: It was showed that even late-onset small-for-gestational-age fetuses seem to have cardiovascular problems, although they were previously thought to be “healthy”.

TL;DR: The preserved contractile reserve in LDSE constitutes a positive prognostic factor for a favourable response following CRT implantation in both ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Adolescents and young adults with congenital heart defect need to bridge the gap between pediatric and adult cardiology as they already show up to 4 cardiac and up to 7 extracardiac acquired secondary diagnoses during the transition period.

TL;DR: Impaired parasympathetic activity suggests limited function of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) pathway activities in patients with congenital heart disease and further studies should focus on the association of exercise capacity and ANS to possibly improve parasyMPathetic activity and functional outcomes.

TL;DR: The present study shows that ACHD and their general practitioners are largely uninformed about the specialized care structures available nationwide, despite the high level of need for specialist care.
