The aim of the present review is to highlight the strengths and limitations of echocardiographic parameters and scores employed to predict favorable outcome in complex congenital heart diseases (CHDs) with borderline right ventricle (RV), with a focus on pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and critical pulmonary stenosis (PAIVS/CPS). A systematic search in the National Library of Medicine using Medical Subject Headings and free-text terms including echocardiography, CHD, and scores, was performed. The search was refined by adding keywords "PAIVS/CPS", Ebstein's anomaly, and unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect with left dominance.

The aim of the study was to determine the variables associated with high-quality (HQ) versus low-quality (LQ) three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) and create guides for optimization of approach to 3DRA in congenital cardiac catheterization (CCC). CCC has adopted 3DRA as a mainstay, but there has not been systematic analysis of approach to and factors associated with HQ 3DRA. This was a single-center, retrospective study of 3DRAs using Canon Infinix-I platform.

As the number of implanted biventricular pacemakers increases, the coronary sinus (CS) has evoked much interest amongst cardiologists. A dilated CS could prompt the existence of many diseases. The normal CS diameter is uncertain, especially in children.

Purpose: To construct biventricular reference ranges for isovolumic time intervals (isovolumic contraction time, ICT; isovolumic relaxation time, IRT) and ejection time (ET) for colour tissue Doppler imaging (cTDI) between 15 and 37 weeks' in healthy fetuses.
Methods: This was a prospective multicentre cross-sectional study involving 160 singleton pregnancies between 15 and 37 weeks of gestation, using cTDI. ICT, ET, IRT and myocardial performance index (MPI) were analysed offline using a small region of interest (ROI) within the basal part of the right and left ventricular wall immediately distal to the annulus.

Background: Although identification of unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is obvious when extreme, exact criteria to define the limits of unbalanced are not available. We sought to validate an atrioventricular valve index (AVVI) (left atrioventricular valve area/total atrioventricular valve area, centimeters squared) as a discriminator of balanced and unbalanced forms of complete AVSD and to characterize the association of AVVI with surgical strategies and outcomes.
Methods And Results: Diagnostic echocardiograms and hospital records of 356 infants with complete AVSD at 4 Congenital Heart Surgeons' Society (CHSS) institutions (2000-2006) were reviewed and AVVI measured (n=315).
