In this paper , a retrospective study in a cardiac catheterization laboratory of a large paediatric hospital was conducted to determine the impact of obesity in children with CHD which is severe enough to require invasive catheterisation.Abstract:
The aim of the study is to determine the impact of obesity in children with CHD which is severe enough to require invasive catheterisation.This is a retrospective study in a cardiac catheterisation laboratory of a large paediatric hospital. The material consisted of 378 children from 2 to 19 years old who underwent heart catheterisation in the years 2011-2019. Their anthropometric data were collected, and the body mass index was calculated. The BMI centile was then calculated according to the Centers for Diseases Control (CDC). They were classified as overweight (85-95th centile), obese (> 95th centile), normal weight (5th-85 centile), and underweight (< 5th centile).18.7% of children were underweight, 54.76% were normal weight, 11.64% were overweight, and 14.81% were obese. Overall, 26.45% of the children were overweight. Boys were more likely to have increased body weight than girls, but the difference was not statistically significant. The percentage of increased weight was similar in children with acyanotic CHD as well as heart disease from other causes. On the contrary, children with cyanotic heart disease were more likely to be younger and have a higher percentage of underweight children.The rates of obesity and overweight in children with CHD depend on the sex, age, and cardiopathy type. In addition, they agree with the findings that have been published in international series studies for children with CHD. read more

Τhe Burden of Obesity on Adult Survivors of Congenital Heart Disease, Past, and Future Directions
TL;DR: In this paper , a review aims to decipher the prevalence, outcomes, and future directions of obesity in adult survivors of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in adults, and it finds that the obesity epidemic has started to ebb.

The burden of obesity in children with congenital heart disease
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that the incidence of obesity in children with congenital heart disease was 16-22%, whereas the incidence was overweight 21-36.4% with increasing trend.

Congenital Heart Disease in the General Population Changing Prevalence and Age Distribution
TL;DR: The prevalence of severe CHD increased from 1985 to 2000, but the increase in adults was significantly higher than that observed in children, and in 2000, there were nearly equal numbers of adults and children with severeCHD.

TL;DR: Higher BMI values were associated with lower all-cause and cardiac mortality on univariable Cox analysis, and this effect persisted after adjustment for age, defect complexity, cyanosis and objective exercise capacity.

TL;DR: Higher prevalence of underweight in men with CHD combined with a lower prevalence of overweight/obesity in menWith CHD in general has lower BMI compared to controls, and in women, only limited differences between those withCHD and the controls were found.

TL;DR: Older SV patients presenting for Fontan conversion had shorter stature compared to the normal population as well as a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, although there was no relationship between weight status and early postoperative survival.

TL;DR: BMI was associated with age and exercise capacity in patients with mild and moderate lesions, while higher BMI was related to better ventricular function in women with Fontan circulation.
