Abstract
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been utilized in the management and care of pediatric patients for nearly 40 years. It has evolved to become an invaluable tool in the assessment of the littlest of hearts for diagnosis, pre-interventional management and follow-up care. Although mentioned in a number of consensus and guidelines documents, an up-to-date, large, stand-alone guidance work for the use of CMR in pediatric congenital 36 and acquired 35 heart disease endorsed by numerous Societies involved in the care of these children is lacking. This guidelines document outlines the use of CMR in this patient population for a significant number of heart lesions in this age group and although admittedly, is not an exhaustive treatment, it does deal with an expansive list of many common clinical issues encountered in daily practice.

Routine Detection of Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter Predicts a Worse Outcome in a Cohort of Tetralogy of Fallot Patients During 23 Years of Follow-Up. Pediatr Cardiol 2019; 40:1009-1016. [PMID: 31062060 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-019-02106-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2019] [Accepted: 04/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Atrial flutter/fibrillation (AFL/AF) is a late complication in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Its effects on long-term prognosis are not fully understood. We evaluate the impact of AFL/AF in adults with repaired TOF on global mortality and unplanned hospitalizations during follow-up, and the predictors for AFL/AF occurrence. The presence of AFL/FA was analysed in all exams performed during the last 10 years of outpatients follow up in a unicentric cohort of repaired TOF between 1980 and 2003. Two-hundred and six patients were included; at a mean follow-up of 21 ± 8.2 years, there were 5 deaths (19.2%) in the AFL/AF group and 2 (1.1%) in those without arrhythmia (p < 0.001). Patients with AFL/AF where older at the time of the surgical repair (p < 0.001) and had a higher rate of reinterventions (p = 0.003). No differences were observed between the groups regarding the use of a transannular patch, ventriculotomy and previous palliative shunt. QRS duration was longer in patients with AFL/AF (174 ± 33.4) when compared to those without arrhythmia (147 ± 39.6; p < 0.0001). Age at surgery, QRS duration, and tricuspid regurgitation ≥ moderate were independent risk predictors for AFL/AF. In the multivariate analysis, atrial flutter/fibrillation and QRS duration were predictors of death and hospitalization. AFL/AF is associated with an increased risk of death and hospitalization during the follow-up of patients with repaired TOF. Early detection of AFL/AF and their predictors is an essential step in the evaluation of such population.

Abstract
To improve outcomes, including arrhythmia incidence, for patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the authors' institution adopted an approach that minimizes or avoids transmural incision of the right ventricular outflow tract. When pulmonary blood flow is insufficient during the neonatal period, placement of an aortopulmonary artery shunt is preferred, followed by complete repair later in infancy. This study reviewed the perioperative and mid-term arrhythmia outcomes at the authors' institution using this approach. Patients who underwent TOF repair from 1995 to 2008 were included in the study. Patient demographics and surgical history were collected. The primary end points of the study included documented perioperative arrhythmias and arrhythmias at the 10-year follow-up assessment. Of the 298 patients who underwent TOF repair, 50 (17 %) had undergone prior placement of a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt. The median age at repair was 9.7 months (interquartile range, 6.3-16.2 months). Clinically significant perioperative arrhythmias were found in 12 patients (4 %) including 6 junctional tachycardias, 4 atrial tachycardias, and 1 temporary complete heart block. No patients were receiving antiarrhythmic medications more than 24 months after surgery. Of the 298 patients, 86 (29 %) had a follow-up period of 10 years or longer (median, 12.2 years). No patients experienced new arrhythmias, received antiarrhythmic therapy, experienced post-discharge ventricular tachycardia, had atrioventricular block, or required a pacemaker or defibrillator. The right ventricular infundibulum sparing approach is associated with an extremely low incidence of perioperative and midterm arrhythmias. The perioperative and mid-term outcomes compare favorably with existing data from programs favoring neonatal repair. Long-term follow-up evaluation is essential to determine whether this strategy can effectively alter late pathophysiology and minimize late-term arrhythmias and associated mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess parental knowledge regarding lifelong congenital cardiac care (LLCCC). BACKGROUND National guidelines recommend that nearly 50% of adult survivors with congenital heart disease (CHD) receive LLCCC; the number of adults who receive such care seems far less. Inadequate parental knowledge of LLCCC might contribute to care interruption. METHODS In this multicenter study, we administered a questionnaire to parents of children with moderate and complex CHD to assess knowledge of LLCCC. RESULTS A total of 500 parents participated; the median age of their children was 10 years (range: 2-18 years). Most parents (81%) understood that their child would need LLCCC, but only 44% recognized that their child's cardiology care should be guided by an adult congenital heart specialist in adulthood. More than half (59%) of the parents stated that their current cardiology team had never spoken to them about LLCCC, but 96% wished to learn more. Variables associated with parental LLCCC knowledge included previous discussions regarding LLCCC, underlying cardiac surgical diagnosis, and level of parental education. CONCLUSIONS A substantial number of parents of children with moderate and complex CHD lack knowledge about LLCCC, but almost all of them have a desire to learn more about the care their child will need as an adult.

Abstract
Although pressure-overload right ventricular hypertrophy is a long-term risk in some congenital heart diseases such as tetralogy of Fallot, how it develops is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of development of this right ventricular heart failure.Pulmonary artery banding in 10-day-old rabbits induced pressure-overload right ventricular hypertrophy as they grew. Comparisons were made with age-matched sham controls (n = 24 per group). In weekly serial echocardiography, the right ventricular contraction and diastolic function decreased from 3 weeks after surgery (P < 0.01), and the right ventricle became hypertrophic from 4 weeks after (P < 0.05). Pressure-overload increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis from 4 weeks postoperatively (TUNEL staining and Western blotting analysis, P < 0.05); and fibrosis occurred in the right ventricular cardiomyocytes at 8 weeks after operation (Masson's trichrome stain, P < 0.01). In our model, pressure-overload to the right ventricle caused the right ventricular disorder, hypertrophy, and fibrosis. Apoptosis of right ventricular cardiomyocytes was involved in progression. We have shown for the first time the mechanism whereby pressure-overload right ventricular hypertrophy develops in an infant rabbit model.
