In the process of prolonged observations a clinical and special functional examination of 33 patients (13 men and 20 women) operated upon in childhood for congenital heart diseases of the "pale type" was performed. A stable rehabilitating effect was obtained after radical surgical treatment. At the same time it was found that the level of the maximum physical work ability was retained in greater degree in women as compared with men and was even a little greater when economically used in rest and under physical load at the expense of higher gas exchange efficiency of blood circulation.

Optimal management of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) requires a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach, fostering a collaborative culture over an individualistic approach. Within this framework, subspecialty-trained radiologists provide crucial imaging expertise, supporting cardiologists, surgeons, and interventional cardiologists in diagnoses, treatment planning, and follow-up evaluations. Advanced imaging tools and a nuanced understanding of surgical and interventional procedures enable radiologists to provide valuable insights to clinicians.

Importance: A recent advisory from the American Heart Association delineated the potential benefits of developmental care for hospitalized children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and a critical gap in research evaluating the association of such inpatient programs with neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Objective: To investigate associations between the Cardiac Inpatient Neurodevelopmental Care Optimization (CINCO) program interventions, delirium, and neurodevelopment in young children (newborn through age 2 years) hospitalized with CHD.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used quality improvement data from inpatient cardiac units at a tertiary care children's hospital in the US.

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.
