Article Synopsis
- Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a hereditary heart condition marked by unusual heart muscle structure, and this study specifically focused on biventricular noncompaction (BiVNC) in children to understand its clinical characteristics and genetic factors.
- The research involved 234 pediatric patients and revealed that BiVNC often leads to serious complications, including a higher incidence of congenital heart disease and reduced survival rates compared to other heart conditions.
- Findings indicated that patients with BiVNC frequently exhibited left ventricular dysfunction and a notable percentage had genetic variants linked to mitochondrial and developmental issues, emphasizing the need for thorough genetic screening for better patient outcomes.

Background: Peripheral pulmonary stenosis (PPS) is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the pulmonary arteries, which impairs blood flow to the lung. The mechanisms underlying PPS pathogenesis remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the genetic background of patients with severe PPS to elucidate the pathogenesis of this condition.

Coronary arterial dominance is concerned in the management of ischemic heart disease. In particular, right coronary arterial dominance is having a risk for three-vessel coronary artery disease. Thus, this study aimed to explore coronary arterial dominance in patients with congenital heart disease.
