Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines and standards for performance of a pediatric echocardiogram: a report from the Task Force of the Pediatric Council of the American Society of Echocardiography.
Wyman W. Lai,Tal Geva,Girish S Shirali,Peter C. Frommelt,Richard A. Humes,Michael M. Brook,Ricardo H. Pignatelli,Jack Rychik +7 more
TL;DR: The pediatric echocardiogram is a unique examination with features that distinguish it from other eChocardiograms, and there is a wide spectrum of anomalies encountered in patients with congenital heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Characterization of Left Ventricular Noncompaction in Children A Relatively Common Form of Cardiomyopathy
Ricardo H. Pignatelli,Colin J. McMahon,William J. Dreyer,Susan W. Denfield,Jack F. Price,John W. Belmont,William J. Craigen,Jen Wu,Howaida G. El Said,Louis I. Bezold,Sarah K. Clunie,Susan D. Fernbach,Neil E. Bowles,Jeffrey A. Towbin +13 more
TL;DR: A significant number of patients with LVNC have transient recovery of function followed by later deterioration, which may account for many patients presenting as adults, some manifesting an “undulating” phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of cardiac growth on Doppler tissue imaging velocities: a study in healthy children.
Benjamin W. Eidem,Colin J. McMahon,Radha R Cohen,Jin Wu,Irina Finkelshteyn,John P. Kovalchin,Nancy A. Ayres,Louis I. Bezold,E. O'Brian Smith,Ricardo H. Pignatelli +9 more
TL;DR: In healthy children, parameters of cardiac growth, most notably left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, have the most significant correlation with the majority of DTI velocities, whereas sex, heart rate, and other echocardiographic parameters demonstrated minimal or no correlation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality and Sudden Death in Pediatric Left Ventricular Noncompaction in a Tertiary Referral Center
Samuel T. Brescia,Joseph W. Rossano,Ricardo H. Pignatelli,John L. Jefferies,Jack F. Price,Jamie A. Decker,Susan W. Denfield,W. Jeffrey Dreyer,O’Brian Smith,Jeffrey A. Towbin,Jeffrey J. Kim +10 more
TL;DR: Left ventricular noncompaction has a high mortality rate and is strongly associated with arrhythmias in children, and preceding cardiac dysfunction or ventricular arrh rhythmias are associated with increased mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inheritance Analysis of Congenital Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction Malformations: Segregation, Multiplex Relative Risk, and Heritability
Kim L. McBride,Ricardo H. Pignatelli,Mark B. Lewin,Trang Ho,Susan D. Fernbach,Andres Menesses,Wilbur A. Lam,Suzanne M. Leal,Norman L. Kaplan,Paul Schliekelman,Jeffrey A. Towbin,John W. Belmont +11 more
TL;DR: Detailed echocardiography exams for structural heart defects and measurements of a variety of aortic arch, left ventricle, and valve structures support a complex but most likely oligogenic pattern of inheritance in relatives of children with LVOTO defects.
