Mashup Score: 28The impact of local programmatic decisions on outcomes in transplant-listed adults with congenital heart disease - PubMed - 8 day(s) ago
ACHD candidates have longer waitlist times, lower priority status at initial listing, wait longer for upgrade, and have higher mortality at the same final status as non-ACHD candidates, suggesting that they are being upgraded too late.

Mashup Score: 8Decreased clinical performance in TGA-ASO patients after RVOT interventions; a multicenter European collaboration - PubMed - 15 day(s) ago
TGA patients after a successful arterial switch repair have a decreased exercise capacity. A considerable amount of TGA patients with either catheter or surgical RVOT intervention perform significantly worse compared to patients without RVOT interventions.

Mashup Score: 8Sudden death in adults with repaired coarctation of the aorta: A case for sex-based risk factors - PubMed - 22 day(s) ago
There is an unanticipated high burden of SCD in adults with rCoA, occurring in men at younger age than women, suspicious for primary electrophysiologic dysfunction. Future investigation of sex-specific SCD risk in rCoA is important to better understand this disease and its late phenotype.

Mashup Score: 16Frailty and Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged and Older Adults With Congenital Heart Disease - PubMed - 28 day(s) ago
Approximately one-half of included patients were (pre-)frail, and more than one-third experienced cognitive impairment. Frailty and cognitive dysfunction were identified in patients with mild CHD, indicating that these concerns extend beyond severe CHD. Assessing frailty and cognition routinely coul …

Mashup Score: 7Early hybrid cardiac rehabilitation in congenital heart disease: the QUALIREHAB trial - PubMed - 2 month(s) ago
This early hybrid cardiac rehabilitation programme improved HRQoL, body mass index, physical activity, and disease knowledge, in youth with CHD, opening up the possibility for the QUALIREHAB programme to be rolled out to the adult population of CHD and non-congenital cardiac disease.

Self promotion, but really interesting (I think). #ACHD waitlist outcomes after #OHTx referral depend on local teams. Don't list too low or upgrade too late! Pts may be sicker than they look. @menachem_j @FredWuMD @ralogon @sasha_opo @ShelbyKuttyMD https://t.co/6WUt0nGGR8
