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

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

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
