[Growing up with congenital heart disease: neurocognitive outcome, psychopathology and quality of life].

Thank to medical and surgical improvements, a very high percentage of children with congenital heart disease (CHD; about 1% of newborn) reaches adulthood. This population of young surgical and medical patients opens up new challenges in clinical management, including evaluation and optimization of psychosocial functioning and quality of life. Data regarding neurocognitive and psychopathological adaptation, personality and quality of life of CHD patients are rather extensive but still insufficient to guide management approaches to these subjects and to address the numerous emerging problems.

Growing up with a congenital heart disease: neuro-cognitive, psychopathological and quality of life outcomes.

About 1% of newborn presents some form of congenital heart disease (CHD). Eighty-five percent of these children, thanks to medical and surgical improvement, reaches adulthood. This open up new challenges in patients management, such as the evaluation and optimization of psychosocial functioning and quality of life of CHD subjects.

[Pulmonary hypertensive vascular disease in patients with interventricular defect or complete atrioventricular canal].

In 34 patients operated on the morphological and morphometric patterns of the pulmonary vascular bed on lung biopsies, performed during the operation for ventricular septal defect or complete atrio-ventricular septal defect were studied. These patterns were related to the preoperative hemodynamic data. Ages ranged from 2 to 20 months.

Recovery of post-arrest cardiac performance: effect of fructose-1,6-diphosphate in the isolated rabbit heart.

The effect of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) on the recovery of post-arrest cardiac performance was assessed in isolated rabbit heart preparations subjected to cold ischemic cardioplegic arrest (CICA). Twenty-eight hearts were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit (KHBS) solution followed by 40 minutes of CICA. After CICA normothermic reperfusion with KHBS was restarted.
