Comparison in the adult congenital heart disease severity classification of ACC/AHA and ESC guidelines in a 3,459 Mexican population.

Background: Latin American registries of clinical and demographic profiles of ACHD are scarce. International guidelines classify disease complexity with different approaches. With these two regards, a registry was carried out to examine factors associated with mortality and to compare severity classifications in our population.

Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Mexican Adults With Congenital Heart Disease.

Background: In recent decades, adults living with congenital heart disease (ACHD) have improved their survival, thus increasing their predisposition to the onset of cardiometabolic risk factors and chronic health conditions.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe cardiometabolic risk profiles in the ACHD population and their relationship to congenital heart disease (CHD) lesion complexity.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study from ACHD in a third-tier referral center in Mexico City.

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Adults With Moderate-to-Severe Complexity Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing Palliation or Surgical Repair.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) survival rate has improved dramatically due to advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. However, concerning the unrepaired CHD population of moderate and severe complexity, the data regarding risk predictors and surgical outcomes are scarce. Our aim was to describe the surgical results and predictors of in-hospital outcomes in adult patients with moderate-to-severe complexity CHD that were not repaired in childhood.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the systemic right ventricle in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries: A case report.

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare clinical entity, which usually presents during adulthood with associated defects; atrioventricular block, heart failure, systemic valve failure, and arrhythmias usually complicate the clinical course. Even rarer is associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which complicates the disease course and clinical decision-making. Herein, we present a patient with this condition who underwent heart transplantation, with adequate clinical resolution.

[Isomorfismo cardiaco: Una perspectiva multidisciplinaria].

Atrial isomerism describes complex anatomical findings with defects in the determination of lateralization; being a rare situation, with a prevalence of 1 in every 10.000 to 20.000 live births, with an incidence of up to 4% of all cardiac malformations.
