Fetal Electrophysiologic Abnormalities in High-Risk Pregnancies Associated With Fetal Demise
Each year world-wide, 2.5 million fetuses die unexpectedly in the last half of pregnancy, 25,000 in the United States, making fetal demise ten-times more common than Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This study will apply a novel type of non-invasive monitoring, called fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) used thus far to successfully evaluate …
National Registry of Adult Heart Failure Patients With Complex Congenital Heart Disease: Systemic Right Ventricle and Single Ventricle Treated With Sacubitril/Valsartan
Heart failure in adults with congenital heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Patients with systemic right ventricle (SRV) and single ventricle (SV) are particularly at risk1, 2, 3. There are no specific recommendations for the management of heart failure in adults with congenital heart disease, whose …
Evaluating Pulse Oximetry Bias in Children With Darker Skin Pigmentation
In this prospective study, the investigators will enroll 154 children with arterial lines to determine the accuracy of pulse oximeters in children with darker skin pigmentation. Studies in adults suggest pulse oximeters may overestimate the true level of oxygenation in the blood as measured directly by co-oximetry. However, pediatric data …
Towards Optimal Treatment of Marfan Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to determine whether new magnetic resonance imaging techniques can be used as a biomarker of aortic disease severity in patients with Marfan syndrome.
Transcriptomic Study of Adult Population With Marfan Syndrome
This project is designed to discover circulating biomarkers for aortic aneurysms in adults affected by Marfan Syndrome (MFS). The first aim is to identify circulating transcripts, protein-coding (mRNA) and not (ncRNAs), which show differential expression between three groups of adult patients affected by MFS, based on: presence or absence of …
Living With Marfans and Your Aorta: Surgical Outcomes Study
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disease affecting the eyes, skeleton, heart and arteries. Despite MFS affecting multiple organ systems, cardiovascular manifestations are the most serious and life threatening. Approximately 80% of adult MFS patients will have a dilated aortic root by age 40 years with aortic aneurysm and dissection …
Biological Collection for Marfan and Related Syndromes
The present study will establish a collection of biological samples from Marfan patients or with associated diseases to be used for research purposes only, with due respect for confidentiality.
Genome-wide Epistasis for Cardiovascular Severity in Marfan Study
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder with pleiotropic manifestations in the ocular, skeletal and cardiovascular systems. Morbidity and mortality are mostly determined by aortic root aneurysm dissection and rupture. Although mutations in FBN1, the gene coding for the extracellular matrix protein fibrillin-1, are the well-established genetic …
NIRS in Congenital Heart Defects - Correlation With Echocardiography
Neonatal patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) have changing physiology in the context of transitional period. Patients with CHD are at risk of low perfusion status or abnormal pulmonary blood flow. Near infrared spectroscopy has been used in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) to measure end-organ perfusion. The investigator plan …
Clinical, Genetic, and Epidemiologic Study of Children and Adults With RASopathies
Background RASopathies are a group of conditions caused by a genetic change. People with a RASopathy may have developmental issues, cognitive disability, poor growth, and birth defects. They may also have an increased risk for developing cancer. Researchers want to learn more. Objective: To learn more about RASopathies, how genes …
