Cardiac function in pregnant women with preeclampsia.
Front Cardiovasc Med
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is thought to be the consequence of impaired placental perfusion leading to placental hypoxia. While it has been demonstrated that PE may be a consequence of maternal cardiovascular maladaptation, the exact role of maternal cardiac function remains to be determined. This study sought to assess cardiac characteristics in pregnant women diagnosed with PE and to determine the possible relationship between PE, maternal cardiac changes/function, and NT-proBNP levels.

Objective: Fenfluramine (FFA), stiripentol (STP), and cannabidiol (CBD) are approved add-on therapies for seizures in Dravet syndrome (DS). We report on the long-term safety and health care resource utilization (HCRU) of patients with DS treated with FFA under an expanded access program (EAP).
Methods: A cohort of 124 patients received FFA for a median of 2.
Evaluating the Impact of Maternal Lipid Profiles on Fetal Cardiac Function at Mid-Gestation: An Observational Study.
Clin Pract
November 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, "Victor Babes" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Eftimie Murgu Square 2, 300041 Timisoara, Romania.
Maternal dyslipidemia during pregnancy may influence fetal cardiac development and function, potentially predisposing offspring to cardiovascular diseases later in life. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between maternal lipid profiles and fetal cardiac function at mid-gestation, utilizing detailed echocardiographic assessments. In this prospective cohort study conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of the Timișoara Municipal Emergency Hospital, 19 pregnant women aged 27-40 years were recruited and divided into two groups based on their triglyceride levels: Group A (triglycerides ≤ 150 mg/dL, = 48) and Group B (triglycerides > 150 mg/dL, 28).

Article Synopsis
- - The case involves a 2-month-old Iranian boy who developed persistent fever after receiving a 5-in-1 vaccine, leading to a diagnosis of atypical Kawasaki disease, which is rare in infants.
- - Initial tests showed abnormal blood counts and echoed results revealed giant coronary artery aneurysms, highlighting serious complications related to the disease.
- - The case stresses the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment for Kawasaki disease in infants, emphasizing healthcare providers' need to recognize it in similar situations to prevent severe health outcomes.
Maternal multivitamin supplementation mitigates the risk of fetal congenital heart disease associated with high indoor total volatile organic compounds exposure in east china: a case-control study.

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, School of Medicine, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, NO1665 Kongjiang Road, Shanghai, 200092, China.
Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common birth defect. Our previous studies suggest that indoor air pollution, especially total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), may increase fetal CHD risk, whereas vitamin and folic acid (FA) supplements in early pregnancy might offer protection against CHD. However, limited research has explored whether FA or multivitamin supplementation can mitigate the effects of TVOCs exposure on CHD.
