Glenn Circulation #7: High-Risk Indicators for Fontan Completion

👉High PVRi, elevated EDP, significant AV valve regurgitation, or ventricular dysfunction can compromise Fontan candidacy.
👉Prior PA/PV interventions or an intact atrial septum suggest anatomic risk and may require careful pre-Fontan assessment.
👉Syndromic, respiratory, and functional factors can increase perioperative risk and should be integrated into Fontan decision-making.

Our hemodynamic effects of #music therapy paper is published! Music enriches and saves lives, sure has done that for me. And to be able to highlight it's positive effects in our #pediatric #cicu patients is exciting!

Happy to have this data published. Important perspective for implementing cardiac rehab across a broad range of patient demographics and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that is predominantly a clinical diagnosis.

We present a case in which a 5-month-old patient developed prominent enlargement of coronary arteries with associated giant aneurysms. Read our @CASEfromASE report: https://t.co/fQXrxDrXHc

What are the risk factors and imaging for sudden cardiac events (SCE) in Fontan? 👇

✅ 3.5% of #Fontan patients experienced SCE, with a 36% mortality

[Rohit loomba @loomba_rohit]

Pooled analyses comparing epinephrine & dopamine in #pediatric patients. Epi is my go to. Usually add milrinone next as data indicate benefit of an inodilator strategy.

3️⃣ What's Next?
🚨 Longitudinal studies needed to track lipid & cardiovascular outcomes in AAOCA as kids age - especially in Hispanic patients.

🚨 NEW: Lipid profiles in kids with #AAOCA explored for the first time!

1️⃣ #AAOCA is a rare congenital heart defect linked to sudden cardiac events. Our study of 180 kids @TCHheartcenter shows:
- Triglycerides elevated in 44%
- HDL low in 37%
- Disparities in Hispanic patients

[Thomas S. Przybycien @TinyHeartsMD]

2️⃣ Findings:
🔹 Hispanic kids had higher triglycerides & cholesterol-to-HDL ratios vs others
🚴‍♂️ 2/3 exercise recreationally, with no lipid differences between competitive & recreational groups.

[Thomas S. Przybycien @TinyHeartsMD]

1/3 of children with #AAOCA report feeling sad, angry, or lonely and ~ 1/2 report feeling different. Read more about our patients’ perceptions in our latest publication!

A big thank you to -
