Ep 3: Atrial Fibrillation in Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Irene Martín de Miguel Added: 2 years ago
Did you know that atrial arrhythmias are the most common complication in adults with congenital heart disease? Dr Irene Martin de Miguel (Adult Congenital Heart Disease Fellow at Mayo Clinic Rochester, US) joins us in this featured author episode to outline her recent review article, Atrial Fibrillation in Congenital Heart Disease. In this podcast, Dr Martinde Miguel provides an overview of the… View more

Pacing and Defibrillators in Complex Congenital Heart Disease

Device therapy is increasingly employed in the management of complex congenital heart disease (CHD). Bradycardias, most often related to sinus nodal dysfunction (SND) or atrioventricular nodal (AVN) block, may necessitate the implantation of pacing devices, while malignant arrhythmias may be treated by appropriate use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). However, there is a complex… View more

Supraventricular Arrhythmias in Adult Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Carina Blomström-Lundqvist , Tatjana S Potpara , Helena Malmborg Added: 3 years ago
With the advent of successful surgical repairs and modern diagnostic techniques, an increasing number of patients with congenital heart disease survive to adulthood. Despite these improvements, the surgical corrective atrial incisions performed during childhood lead to subsequent myocardial scarring that have the inherent risk of harbouring substrates for macro-reentrant atrial tachycardias … View more

Although there is no formal database of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) in the United States, the prevalence and incidence of CHD can be estimated and extrapolated from data in the Canadian providence.1 As such, the prevalence of CHD in the United States has been estimated in 2010 to be around 2.4 million people (1.4 million adults and 1 million children), with an incidence of between… View more

Ablation of Arrhythmias in Patients with Adult Congenital Heart Disease
Author(s): Rodrigo Gallardo Lobo , Michael Griffith , Joseph De Bono Added: 3 years ago
Around 0.8% of live births are affected by some type of congenital heart disease; 30–50% of whom will need one or more surgical interventions, generally during early childhood, involving in some cases complex corrections with patches, baffles or extracardiac circuits.1,2 As a result of advances in surgical interventions, the life expectancy of patients with congenital heart disease has… View more

The reported incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) depends on the number of trivial lesions included, such as atrial and ventricular septal defects (ASDs and VSDs). Moderate-to-severe CHD numbers remain stable with 6 per 1,000 live births.1 Survival into adulthood has improved dramatically over the last 25 years and has been driven mainly by a decreased mortality in moderate and severe… View more
