#Statin use in pregnancy seems to be safe for growing fetus. In women at high CV risk, benefits of statin use likely outweigh potential risks

High blood pressure is the most prevalent and modifiable risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, dementia, chronic kidney disease, and all-cause mortality.

This reflects several major changes since 2017, including use of the American Heart Association’s PREVENT risk calculator to estimate cardiovascular disease risk.

Important data on #Fontan and #pregnancy. Rates of fetal loss of only 21% (lower than other studies I remember) and no adverse maternal outcomes. IUGR is a problem (predictably). More data coming! @DrAnumMinhas @ErinMichos @ShelbyKuttyMD https://t.co/MSDlxY1m4y

Did you know:

The height of the colour box does not drop the frame rate, it’s the WIDTH that affects the frame rate.

I always teach people to lengthen colour box to look at the whole of the pulmonary artery not just the valve.

You never know when you may pick up a PDA!

Physical activity appears to reduce CV risk in part by acting through stress-related brain activity; this may contribute to the novel observation that physical activity reduces CV risk to a greater extent among individuals with #depression. https://t.co/K10G9cL3IF #JACC

DAPA-SERVE Trial - RCT with 50 patients with sRV (35 atrial switch) treated with Dapaglifozin for 1y showed improvement in sRV function measured by:
🔹FAC
🔹GLS of RV free wall
🔹3D RVEF
🔹But also improvement in LV GLS
https://t.co/pPNOAfwBHq

[Rafa Alonso @ralogon]

We need to get ready for what is coming.

Fontan patients with morphologically RV vs LV have:
▪️> 2-fold risk of atrial arrhythmias, TE events, heart Tx or death.
▪️> 9-fold risk of heart Tx and death alone
▪️> 2-fold risk of atrial arrhythmias alone

After 50 years of follow up, patients who underwent ASD closure in childhood have:
🔹Same survival than the general population but,
▪️Less that 50% remain event-free (30% symptomatic arrhythmia)
▪️Dilated RV is seen in 45% of patients
