Abstract
Heart failure and arrhythmias represent 2 major causes of mortality and morbidity in adults with congenital heart disease. Arrhythmias and heart failure are interdependent, and one may exacerbate the other. Treatment of one also has a positive impact on the other. Management approaches need to be multifaceted, including pharmacotherapy, optimization of hemodynamic status with catheter-based or surgical interventions, and specific management of arrhythmia with device or catheter ablation therapy.

Abstract
Over the past 50 years, there has been a major shift in age distribution of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) thanks to significant advancements in medical and surgical treatment. Patients with CHD are, however, never cured and face unique challenges throughout their lives. In this review, we discuss the growing data suggesting accelerated aging in this population. Adults with CHD are more often and at a younger age confronted with age-related cardiovascular complications such as heart failure, arrhythmia, and coronary artery disease. These can be related to the original birth defect, complications of correction, or any residual defects. In addition, and less deductively, more systemic age-related complications are seen earlier, such as renal dysfunction, lung disease, dementia, stroke, and cancer. The occurrence of these complications at a younger age makes it imperative to further map out the aging process in patients across the spectrum of CHD. We review potential feasible markers to determine biological age and provide an overview of the current data. We provide evidence for an unmet need to further examine the aging paradigm as this stresses the higher need for care and follow-up in this unique, newly aging population. We end by exploring potential approaches to improve lifespan care.

Abstract
There are marked variations in the incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and in the substrates for ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) across the gamut of congenital heart defects. In this 2-part review, patients with higher-risk forms of congenital heart disease (CHD) were conceptually categorized into those with discrete anatomic isthmuses for macro-reentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) (Group A) and those with more diffuse or less well-defined substrates (Group B) that include patchy or extensive myocardial fibrosis. The latter category encompasses CHD lesions such as Ebstein anomaly, transposition of the great arteries with a systemic right ventricle (RV), and congenital aortic stenosis. For Group B patients, polymorphic VT and ventricular fibrillation account for a higher proportion of VA. The prognostic value of programmed ventricular stimulation is less well established, and catheter ablation plays a less prominent role. As cardiomyopathies evolve over time, pathophysiological mechanisms for VA among Groups A and B become increasingly blurred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic magnetic navigation (RMN) has emerged as a potential solution to overcome challenges associated with catheter ablation of arrhythmias in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). OBJECTIVES To assess safety and efficacy of RMNguided catheter ablation in patients with CHD. DESIGN AND METHODS A systematic review and pooled analysis was conducted on patients with CHD who underwent RMNguided catheter ablation. Random effects models were used to generate pooled estimates with the inverse variance method used for weighting studies. RESULTS Twentyfour nonoverlapping records included 167 patients with CHD, mean age 36.5 years, 44.6% female. Type of CHD was simple in 27 (16.2%), moderate in 32 (19.2%), and complex in 106 (63.5%). A total of 202 procedures targeted 260 arrhythmias, the most common being macroreentrant atrial circuits. The mean procedural duration was 207.5 minutes, with a mean fluoroscopy time of 12.1 minutes. The pooled acute success rate was 89.2% [95% CI (77.8%, 97.4%)]. Freedom from arrhythmia recurrence was 84.5% [95% CI (72.5%, 94.0%)] over a mean follow-up of 24.3 months. The procedural complication rate was 3.5% with no complication attributable to RMN technology. CONCLUSION RMN-guided ablation appears to be safe and effective across a variety of arrhythmia substrates and types of CHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Supraventricular arrhythmias are common in adults with Ebstein anomaly (EA). However, there are limited data about prognostic implications of atrial fibrillation (AF) in this population. Accordingly, our aim was to assess the clinical profile and burden of AF in adults with EA, and the relationship between AF and outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS Six hundred eighty-two consecutive adults with a median age of 36 (24-49) years from Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, USA, between 2003 and 2020 were included. Sustained episodes of AF, clinical, echocardiographic, rhythm and surgical data were collected. Prevalence of AF at baseline was 18% (126 patients); the first episode occurred at a mean age of 43±17 years. Patients with AF were older, were more likely men, and had hypertension, renal dysfunction, cardiac devices, and more advanced right-sided and left-sided remodelling. During a median follow-up of 156 (81-240) months, 62 patients (11%) developed incident AF. At the last encounter, prevalence of AF was 28% (188 patients); of those, 63 (34%) had recurrent AF. Hospitalisation for heart failure (HF) occurred in 51 patients (7%). AF (HR 2.32, 95% CI 1.18 to 4.47; p=0.01) was independently associated with hospitalisation for HF. All-cause death occurred in 53 patients (8%); it was more frequent in those with AF in the univariable analysis, although it did not remain significant in the multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS AF in EA develops at relatively young ages with one-third of the cohort exhibiting a recurrent pattern. Patients with AF had a higher prevalence of comorbidities and worse right-sided and left-sided cardiac remodelling. AF was independently associated with HF hospitalisation.
