The etiology of congenital heart defect (CHD) combines environmental and genetic factors. So far, there were studies reporting on the screening of a single gene on unselected CHD or on familial cases selected for specific CHD types. Our goal was to systematically screen a proband of familial cases of CHD on a set of genetic tests to evaluate the prevalence of disease-causing variant identification.

- Late presentation of abnormal origin of coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ACAPA) is rare and often involves collateral development, leading to mild symptoms but potential for sudden cardiac death.
- A study reviewed cases from 1976 to 2011, identifying 10 patients diagnosed with ACAPA between ages 1.1 to 64, with most undergoing successful surgical treatment.
- Noninvasive imaging methods like echocardiography can effectively diagnose late-presenting ACAPA, and surgical implantation into the aorta is shown to improve outcomes and reduce ischemia-related risks.
Objective: To describe the significance of pericardial effusion (PE), mitral regurgitation (MR) and impaired systolic function in predicting coronary artery lesions (CAL) at diagnosis and follow-up in Kawasaki disease (KD).
Design: Echocardiographic records on admission, at 1-3 weeks of illness, and at 6-8 weeks of illness were retrospectively retrieved in children with acute KD treated by intravenous immunoglobulins.
Setting, Patients: The study included 194 consecutive children (113 male; median age 2.
After having eliminated a dysfunction of the hospital's ventilation system and any other possible environmental reservoir, the investigation of a fatal case of primary cutaneous aspergillosis in a neonate with extremely low birth weight led to the conclusion that nonsterile disposable gloves kept stored in their native packages were the likely source of contamination.
