Young adults with dyslipidemia are at increased risk of premature cardiovascular events due to conflicting age-appropriate advice and no guidelines on best transition practice. Discover the unique needs of these adolescents and young adults.
Children born after assisted reproductive technology are at increased risk for congenital heart defects versus those born after spontaneous conception.
Confirmed primary cardiac angiosarcoma in a healthy adolescent was seen to spontaneously regress after initial percutaneous biopsy, with subsequent increase in size of the mass 4 months later.
Dyslipidemia in young people increases the risk for early development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle modifications remain the cornerstone of treatment, but a growing number of lipid-lowering therapies are safe and effective.
Nephrotic syndrome is usually caused by primary renal disorders, but you should consider metabolic diseases in atypical cases. This 7-month-old presented with nephrotic syndrome, malignant hypertension, and hemolytic anemia.

Large cutaneous hemangiomas can be hemodynamically significant, resulting in high-output heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.Embolization and resection is effective and well-tolerated.
An expert-led symposium exploring the most pertinent issues in cardio-oncology, with a focus on the new ESC guidelines. Highlights include preventative approaches in cardio-oncology, toxicity risk-stratification strategies, the clinical management of myocarditis as an adverse effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor-treatments, and the utility of biomarkers in long-term follow-up of cardiovascular disease risk in cancer patients.
Mental health (MH) is an important, yet understudied area of care for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Pediatric subspecialty fellows believe MH should be within their scope of practice, but few feel confident in their ability to …
Extensive research has consistently demonstrated that humans frequently diverge from rational decision-making processes due to the pervasive influence of cognitive biases. This paper conducts an examination of the impact of cognitive biases on …
Decision-making in fetal cardiology is fraught with ethical issues yet education in bioethics for trainees is limited or nonexistent. In this innovation report, we describe the development of a fetal cardiology bioethics curriculum designed to …
The emergence of Covid-19 has led to change within hospital-based healthcare. An example, has been to reconfigure clinical decision making meetings from traditional in-person (Face-to-face, FtF) to online video-conferencing (VC) format inorder to …
DMD remains a progressive incurable disease, but advances in patient-centered care and treatment for cardiopulmonary dysfunction have helped to increase life expectancy. This program equips multidisciplinary teams, including pediatric neurologists, pediatricians, pulmonologists, cardiologists, and endocrinologists, with key knowledge and skills to enhance care throughout the patient journey.
Improve your ECG interpretation skills with this comprehensive, rapid, interactive course. Expert advice provides detailed feedback as you work through 50 ECGs covering the most common cardiac presentations to ensure your practice stays up to date.
Children with cardiac disease suffer higher rates of in-hospital cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest outside of the intensive care unit (ICU) is an infrequent event, which is a threat for suboptimal code team performance. Shorter time to the first …
Scoring systems used to predict morbidity in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) have been developed and validated in Asian populations. The objective of this study was to assess their utility in predicting the development of coronary artery …
Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD2) detection is often delayed, with the potential for late diagnosis complications. Recent work demonstrated artificial intelligence-enhanced ECG analysis shows promise to detect ASD2 in adults. However, its …
The skill of interpretation of the electrocardiogram (ECG) remains poor despite existing educational initiatives. We sought to evaluate the validity of using a subjective scoring system to assess the accuracy of ECG interpretations submitted by …
