Ebstein's anomaly in children and young adults: clinical features, arrhythmia, surgical management, and factors affecting arrhythmia and mortality.

Background: Ebstein's anomaly represents 40% of congenital tricuspid valve abnormalities. Studies about paediatric Ebstein's anomaly patients are limited.

Aim: To evaluate clinical characteristics, treatment (medical/arrhythmia ablation/surgical) results, and outcome of Ebstein's anomaly patients, and to determine factors affecting arrhythmia presence and mortality.

Topsy-Turvy Heart: Exceedingly Rare Congenital Rotational Heart Disease With Large Aorticopulmonary Window and Severe Tracheobroncial Malacia.

Left images: Top: (A) Echocardiography shows a dilated pulmonary artery, large aortopulmonary window (dotted line), and abnormally positioned aortic arch. (B) MIP image reveals superior RV, inferior LV, and elongated arch vessels (arrows). Bottom: MinIP shows a thin left main bronchus and non-aerated RML (asterisk).

Examining the Role of Exercise Training in Enhancing Life for Adult Congenital Heart Disease: Systematic Review.

Background: Current guidelines advise exercise for most congenital heart disease patients (CHD). However, physical activity remains low in CHD individuals, with limited research on exercise's effects in adults.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of exercise training on exercise capacity and quality of life in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients.

Evaluation of cardiac function using echocardiography in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus patients treated with hydroxychloroquine.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hydroxychloroquine on cardiac functions and left ventricular mass in patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE).

Research Design And Methods: Fifty patients with cSLE undergoing treatment with hydroxychloroquine underwent echocardiographic evaluation. All patients exhibited negative disease activity markers and were clinically in remission.

Temporal Dynamics and (Para)Clinical Factors Associated With (Long) Viral RNA Shedding in COVID-19 Nonhospitalized Individuals - The COVID-HOME Study.

Understanding temporal patterns and determinants of RNA shedding is important to comprehend SARS-CoV-2 transmission and improve biosafety/isolation guidelines. Nonhospitalized SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals and household members were enrolled between March 2020 and June 2021 and followed prospectively ≥ 3 weeks during acute disease and at 3-, 6-, 12-, and 18-months to obtain (para)clinical data and biospecimens. Flow cytometry-based surrogate assay (FlowSA) detected viable SARS-CoV-2.
