Background: A high percentage of patients with congenital heart diseases (CHD) reach adulthood and, over time, require heart transplantation (HTx) or combined heart-lung transplantation (HLTx). Among CHD, there are subgroups associated with a higher risk.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of HTx and HLTx in CHD patients.
Background: No study has focused on left atrial (LA) function assessed by echocardiography in adult patients with simple D-TGA after arterial switch operation (ASO). We aimed to describe LA strain parameters in these patients.
Methods: A prospective cohort study including 42 adult patients with simple D-TGA after ASO and 33 aged-matched controls.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated cardiac events in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), revealing that 4.6% of newly diagnosed and 3.6% of treated patients experienced fatal cardiac events over time.
- Risk factors for these events included prior heart disease, older age (≥ 65), previous cardiac issues, and receiving non-intensive chemotherapy.
- Additionally, the research found a high overall incidence of non-fatal cardiac events and significant impacts on survival for those who suffered severe cardiac complications during treatment.
