- Clinical Practice Algorithm For the Follow-Up of Unrepaired and Repaired Ventricular Septal DefectsVentricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common form of congenital heart disease (CHD) diagnosed in childhood. There is a wide variation in clinical practice for the management of common types of VSDs.
- Clinical Practice Algorithm For the Follow-Up of Unrepaired and Repaired Patent Ductus ArteriosusIsolated patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a relatively common defect, accounting for 5-10% of congenital heart defects (excluding premature infants).1 Given the increased use of echocardiography, incidental detection of asymptomatic silent PDAs is on the rise.
- Clinical Practice Algorithm For the Follow-up of Unrepaired and Repaired Secundum Atrial Septal DefectsThere is lack of evidence-based guidelines to help cardiologists determine the frequency of follow-up and testing in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Thus, there remains a wide variation in clinical practice even for the management of common types of CHD.
- Clinical Practice Algorithm For the Follow-Up of Repaired and Unrepaired Atrioventricular Septal DefectsAtrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs) represent a spectrum of congenital heart lesions that result from abnormal embryologic development of the endocardial cushions in the primitive atrioventricular (AV) canal. Primum atrial septal defects (ASDs), inlet ventricular septal defects (VSDs), and abnormalities of the AV valve are among the possible pathologic features of AVSD.
- ACCEL Lite: Umbrella: Cardioprotection During TreatmentIn this interview, Dipti Itchhaporia MD, MACC and Ana Barac, MD, PhD, FACC discuss Umbrella: Cardioprotection During Treatment.
