Mashup Score: 14Cardiac MRI Predictors of Arrhythmic Sudden Cardiac Events in Patients With Fontan Circulation - PubMed - 2 month(s) ago
SCE occurred in 3.5% of the study population, and one-third of patients who experienced SCE died. Mild ventricular dysfunction and dilatation by cardiac magnetic resonance, NYHA functional class, and history of protein-losing enteropathy/plastic bronchitis were associated with SCE.

Mashup Score: 3Conduction Disturbances and Outcome After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Bicuspid and Tricuspid Aortic Stenosis - PubMed - 2 month(s) ago
New-onset LBBB after SAVR is associated with increased all-cause mortality during follow-up, and is more frequent complication in BAV AS patients compared with TAV-AS patients. BAV-AS patients with fusion of the right- and non-coronary cusps have an increased risk for conduction disturbances after S …

Interesting and important for counseling: #AVB and #LBBB more common after #SAVR in #BAV versus #TAV AND LBBB associated with adverse outcomes. Why not PPM? Doesn't that also cause LBBB? @alexvdbruaene @AlexFrogoudaki @elena_gribaudo https://t.co/cxAs4VSoYr

Interesting that the associations with #SCD in #Fontan are described markers of Fontan failure (PLE/Plastic bronchitis, ventricular dilation/dysfunction, NYHA). What's the mechanism? @sasha_opo @alexvdbruaene @ShelbyKuttyMD @swatigar https://t.co/SNa540e9AH

Mashup Score: 7Fontan circulation and systemic disease - a retrospective cohort analysis over 35 years of follow-up: Fontan systemic disease at 35 years - PubMed - 2 month(s) ago
This population-based study demonstrated that patients with a Fontan circulation had increased risk of SD, which in turn led to higher risk of mortality. These findings underscore the need for more systematic surveillance of cardiac and systemic disease for patients after Fontan operation.

As if more confirmation was needed, #Fontan is a SYSTEMIC DISEASE. Information on total body health status may improve outcomes. Plasma biomarkers/metabolomics as possible indicators? @AlexFrogoudaki @sasha_opo @AliZaidiMD @mgoschu https://t.co/BuBea5LMdC

Mashup Score: 13Identifying Frailty and Its Risk Factors in Pediatric Patients with Fontan Physiology - PubMed - 2 month(s) ago
Frailty is a clinical syndrome common in adults with chronic disease with resultant vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. Little is known about frailty in pediatric patients, including those with single-ventricle heart disease. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of frailty and its associ …

Wow! Another important study on #Fontan related #Frailty. Could systemic metaboloic changes related to poor physical activity, physiologic, dietary and genetic factors be contributing to Fontan failure? Here 6MWD most impacted. @AdditionalVent @mgoschu https://t.co/zpz2sTFxUQ

Mashup Score: 16Insulin Resistance after Fontan Palliation - PubMed - 2 month(s) ago
Patients with a single ventricle heart who had Fontan palliation (S/P Fontan) are at increased risk for acquired morbidity. Insulin resistance (IR) is a predictor of cardiac morbidity and mortality. A single-center, cross-sectional study using S/P Fontan and controls was designed to assess IR S/P Fo …

Very interesting data on #insulinresistance in #Fontan. The more we know➡️Fontan is a systemic illness with body-wide metabolic consequences! Fontan #metabolomics anyone? @mgoschu @sasha_opo @alexvdbruaene @AdditionalVent https://t.co/GiY4q3iRJl

Mashup Score: 2Ventricular Tachycardia Substrates in Children and Young Adults With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot - PubMed - 3 month(s) ago
In young patients with rTOF, SCAI 3 is the dominant substrate for VT. Complex TOF and interrelated type and timing of (re-)operation may contribute to the development of SCAI 3 already at a young age.

Data on #SCAI in #TOF, here in a younger population. SCAI3 still dominates, most common in those with more surgical stuff in the RVOT (RVOT patch, RV to PA conduit): Makes sense. Love the mechanistic approach! @swatigar @AlexFrogoudaki @alexvdbruaene https://t.co/Tkg9McP5OP

Mashup Score: 10
The threshold for surgical repair of ascending aneurysm with BAV should not differ from that of TAV. Prophylactic surgery should be considered at 5.0 cm for patients with TAV (and BAV) at expert centers.

I believe already reflected in the guidelines, but #BAV #aortopathy risk lower than #TAV, likely due to different pathophysiology. Truly important data to guide surgery! @ShelbyKuttyMD @swatigar @alexvdbruaene @AlexFrogoudaki https://t.co/JNKrV4fPmS
