TLDR
A totally descriptive nomenclature is proposed that describes in turn the connections of the cardiac segments, their morphology, their relations, and additional anomalies in any segment.Abstract:
At present there is no universally accepted nomenclature for congenital cardiac malformations. Much of the controversy results from failure to distinguish the structural connections of the heart from the morphology and spatial relations of its components. The confusion is compounded by an abundance of individual definitions, many of them speculative. The present article proposes a totally descriptive nomenclature. It describes in turn the connections of the cardiac segments, their morphology, their relations, and additional anomalies in any segment. Each step in the segmental approach is discrete. The overall effect is to force a succinct and comprehensive description of any cardiac malformation, no matter how complex.read more

TL;DR: Pulse oximetry is a promising alternative newborn screening strategy but further evaluation is needed to obtain more precise estimates of test performance and to inform optimal timing, diagnostic and management strategies.

TL;DR: The results indicate that, when evaluating health related quality of life, dedicated questionnaires such as the TAAQOL should be used.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “SmartCardiothoracic Cardiology,” which aims to provide real-time information about the dynamic response of the immune system to certain types of organ failure.

Patterns of recurrence of congenital heart disease: an analysis of 6,640 consecutive pregnancies evaluated by detailed fetal echocardiography.
TL;DR: There appears to be significant under-referral for fetal echocardiography in paternal CHD, and concordance rates were particularly high for isolated atrioventricular septal defects and laterality defects.

TL;DR: A nomenclature is described for congenital heart disease employing sequential chamber localization and links together the atrial, ventricular, and arterial segments of the heart and then permits tabulation of associated anomalies.

TL;DR: This communication will attempt to outline a systematic approach to cardiac malpositions based upon necropsy studies of 65 cases by using existing terms which the authors considered the least ambiguous and least confusing.
