Introduction: The purpose of this work was to determine the absolute cardiovascular risk (ACVR) of women using hormonal contraception in Porto-Novo.
Methods: We carried out a descriptive, cross-sectional study, including women at the time of renewal of a hormonal contraceptive method. Blood pressure, fasting venous blood glucose level, body mass index and electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy were studied.
Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a very rare cardiac defect in which the right ventricle is divided by anomalous muscle bundle into two chambers. It is associated with other malformations in 80-90% of cases. Clinical presentation varies and depends on the extent of the intraventricular obstruction.

- This study compares the outcomes of balloon angioplasty (BAP) for treating native coarctation of the aorta (NaCo) and postsurgical recoarctations (ReCo) in infants under one year old.
- It analyzed data from infants who underwent BAP between 2003 and 2012, focusing on clinical results, echocardiography, hemodynamics, and angiography.
- Findings revealed that while both groups showed some improvement in gradient reduction and complication rates, NaCo patients had a higher recoarctation rate requiring further intervention shortly after initial BAP, indicating potential challenges in managing native CoAo.
