    CHD-patients have a substantially higher associated incidence of IE than the background population. With an increasing longevity of these patients, relevant guidelines concerning preventive measures are important.

    • Great data from🇩🇰 that will help guide practice. #IE in #CHD incidence ~4x⬆️than general pop. Risk factors include prosthetic material, anatomic complexity (#TOF greatest). Mortality 3x higher in ACHD w/IE. @ShelbyKuttyMD @alexvdbruaene @drelisabradley https://t.co/PSR3FCscaE

    Despite substantial RV dilatation in a cohort with rTOF, there was surprisingly little TR. We found poor correlation between RVEDVi, RA volumes, tricuspid annular dilatation and the presence of significant TR. These findings question commonly held notions regarding the pathophysiology of functional …

    • Small and pretty young cohort but intriguing. TR severity not related to RV dilatation in #TOF. Relation to RA size likely due to TR itself. Suggests complex mechanism underlying TR. @ShelbyKuttyMD @swatigar @AlexFrogoudaki @alexvdbruaene https://t.co/eQqCgXouNg

    Left bundle branch area pacing is feasible and safe in CHD patients as compared to that in non-CHD patients. Procedural and fluoroscopy times did not differ between both groups. Lead parameters were satisfactory and stable over a short-term follow-up.

    • Related to my last tweet, and something I've wondered about. 13 #CHD pts with #LBBpacing. I can't imagine benefit in the 2 #ToF or the 2 #TGA s/p Mustard (yes, they paced the LBB not RBB) @ShelbyKuttyMD @AlexFrogoudaki @drelisabradley @AliZaidiMD https://t.co/0lwUQONtP5

    • A 61 y/o man born w/ #TOF, considered disease of the right side of the heart & #RVOT, had it repaired completely at age 5, presented w/ aortic dissection. See how this case highlights the importance of surveillance especially in #ACHD. https://t.co/lbShuxjOs7 #CHD #CardioTwitter https://t.co/DtmzPif1YB
