[A girl with dyspnea and an enlarged liver].

Background: During winter, the influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus season, children are often seen in the emergency department with fever and respiratory symptoms.

Case Description: We describe the case of a 2-year-old girl with fever, dyspnea and signs of heart failure during physical examination. Echocardiogram showed a large amount of pericardial effusion with signs of cardiac tamponade.

Long-term outcome after tricuspid valvectomy in a neonate with endocarditis: a case report.

Tricuspid valvectomy is a rare surgical intervention, and knowledge regarding long-term outcome in children is lacking. We report a favourable outcome 11 years after tricuspid valvectomy in early infancy without subsequent surgery or other cardiac interventions. Specific criteria for timing of re-intervention are lacking.

Outcome after prenatal and postnatal diagnosis of complex congenital heart defects and the influence of genetic anomalies.

Objective: Determine prenatal detection rate, mortality and association with genetic abnormalities in patients with severe CHD.

Method: Single center retrospective study in patients with severe CHD diagnosed prenatally or postnatally (2006 to 2014).

Results: A total of 567 patients were included, 176 (31%) after prenatal diagnosis, with large differences in prenatal detection rate among CHD types.
