Pregnancy and cardiovascular outcomes among patients post Fontan surgery: a 25-year single-centre retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Data on the characteristics and outcomes of pregnancy and among patients with Fontan physiology are limited. We aimed to evaluate the immediate and long-term outcomes among these patients who were followed at our centre.

Methods: We included adult patients who had undergone Fontan surgery for congenital heart disease and were pregnant between 1994 and 2021.

Arrhythmia Burden Among Adult Patients With Congenital Heart Disease: A Population-Based Study.

Background: A significant percentage of patients with congenital heart disease surviving into adulthood will develop arrhythmias. These arrhythmias are associated with an increased risk of adverse events and death. We aimed to assess arrhythmia prevalence, risk factors, and associated health care usage in a large national cohort of patients with adult congenital heart disease.

Long-Term Outcomes and Characteristics Associated With Mortality of Adult Patients Post Fontan Surgery: 27-Year Single-Center Experience.

Data on the characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent Fontan surgery and surviving into adulthood are limited. We aimed to describe our center's long-term experience with this unique patient population. Included were adult patients who had undergone Fontan surgery and were followed up at our Adult Congenital Heart Disease clinic between the years 1994 and 2021.

A new dimension in medical education: Virtual reality in anatomy during COVID-19 pandemic.

Virtual reality technology has been increasingly used in the field of anatomy education, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual reality in anatomy (VRA) allows the creation of immersive, three-dimensional environments or experiences that can interact in a seemingly real or physical way. A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant studies.

Self-Reported Mental and Physical Measures in Adult Fontan Patients.

Introduction: The Fontan procedure is a palliative operation for patients with single functional ventricles, arising from a heterogeneous group of heart defects. There is a considerable gap in evidence regarding the self-reported physical and mental health of these patients surviving to adulthood. Methods and Results: We administered the PROMIS® Global Short Form (v 1.
