Objective: To conduct a comparative analysis of the complications and outcomes in pregnant women with and without congenital heart disease (CHD) in Beijing, China.
Methods: We compared pregnancy-related complications and outcomes experienced by women with and without CHD throughout 19,424 deliveries in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between 2010 and 2019, including cardiovascular and obstetric factors, fetal events, delivery methods, and other complications over a mean 5-years post-delivery follow-up period.
Results: There were 1,040 women with CHD (5.35% of all deliveries). Compared to women without CHD, these women had longer hospital stays (7.83 ± 4.65 vs. 4.93 ± 3.26 days) and a higher death rate (1.92 vs. 0.02%). They also had a greater risk of comorbidities, including pre-term delivery (odds ratio: 13.65 vs. 6.71), heart failure (odds ratio: 4.90 vs. 0.40), and arrhythmia (odds ratio 12.69 vs. 4.69). Pulmonary hypertension, New York Heart Association functional class III~IV, and no congenital heart disease surgery prior to pregnancy were associated with adverse events such as cesarean section, pre-term delivery, and heart failure. The fetuses of mothers with CHD were more likely to be born pre-term (odds ratio: 13.65 vs. 6.71) and have low birth weight (odds ratio: 8.56 vs. 4.36). Eleven infants (1.82%) born to mothers with CHD and four infants (0.64%) born to mothers without CHD were diagnosed with CHD.
Conclusions: Women with CHD generally increase maternal and infant risk during pregnancy and the perinatal period. Pulmonary hypertension, decrease in cardiac function, and no previous CHD surgery increase the risk in women with CHD. Greater attention should be paid to pregnant women with CHD and their fetuses, newborns.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) represents a major birth defect associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Although environmental factors are acknowledged as potential contributors to CHD, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine disruptor, has attracted significant attention due to its widespread use and associated health risks.

The latest World Health Organization (WHO) classification of central nervous system tumors (WHO2021/5th) has incorporated molecular information into the diagnosis of each brain tumor type including diffuse glioma. Therefore, an artificial intelligence (AI) framework for learning histological patterns and predicting important genetic events would be useful for future studies and applications. Using the concept of multiple-instance learning, we developed an AI framework named GLioma Image-level and Slide-level gene Predictor (GLISP) to predict nine genetic abnormalities in hematoxylin and eosin sections: , , mutations, promoter mutations, homozygous deletion (CHD), amplification (amp), 7 gain/10 loss (7+/10-), 1p/19q co-deletion, and promoter methylation.

Social isolation and loneliness are associated with an increased risk of various diseases and all-cause mortality. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the main cause of heart disease deaths worldwide, which affects people's quality of life and longevity. However, the causal relationship between social isolation, loneliness, and CHD remains uncertain.

Background: This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward coronary heart disease (CHD) secondary prevention among CHD patients.
Methods: This web-based cross-sectional study enrolled patients with CHD who visited the Yangpu District Central Hospital in Shanghai (China) between October 18, 2022, and March 25, 2023. The administered questionnaire assessed demographic information and KAP; factors associated with good practice were identified by multivariate logistic regression.

Introduction: Premature advanced subclinical coronary atherosclerosis among young adults is an under-recognized and unique disease phenotype that has not been well characterized.
Methods: We used data from 44,047 participants with no prior CVD history (59.8% male) from the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Consortium.
