Molecular and Cellular Characterization of Cardiac Tissue in Postnatal Development
The study team will use small pieces of human hearts which are removed as part of a required surgical procedure to study different objectives. One of the objective is how calcium ions pass through the membrane of heart cells in order to tell the heart cell how much force to …
The Swiss Neurodevelopmental Outcome Registry for Children With CHD
Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequent birth defect. As survival has significantly improved, attention has turned to neurodevelopmental outcomes of children undergoing heart surgery in early infancy. Since multiple risk factors contribute to neurodevelopmental alterations, a nationwide registry collecting data on medical characteristics, interventions, clinical course and …
Effect of Fetal Aortic Valvuloplasty on Outcomes
In one of the most severe congenital heart defects, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), the left ventricle is underdeveloped and the prognosis is worse than in most other heart defects. The underdevelopment can occur gradually during fetal growth caused by a narrowing of the aortic valve. At some international centers, …
Rutgers University Study of the Genetics of Pulmonary Hypertension
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about how genes impact the risk of pulmonary hypertension. Anyone 18 or older living in the US is eligible, and a diagnosis of PH is NOT required. Study participation is online, and it takes about 20 minutes to complete health …
Stress Echo 2030: the Novel ABCDE-(FGLPR) Protocol to Define the Future of Imaging
With stress echo (SE) 2020 study, a new standard of practice in stress imaging was developed and disseminated: the ABCDE protocol for functional testing within and beyond CAD. ABCDE protocol was the fruit of SE 2020, and is the seed of SE 2030, which is articulated in 12 projects: 1-SE …
Development of CIRC Technologies
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Advanced cardiovascular imaging using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven to be effective in providing gold standard myocardial tissue characterization. Moreover, the intrinsic advantage of MRI's lack of exposure to ionizing radiation is particularly beneficial. At the same time, blood work …
A 10-Minute Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Protocol for Cardiac Disease
This study aims to identify and assess new CMR techniques that can improve current CMR protocols.
Prognosis in Adult Patients with Congenital Heart Disease
This is a mono-center observational ambispective study in which adult patients with congenital heart disease evaluated at our institution will be enrolled. The primary endopoint is to assess the clinical and echocardiographic predictors of adverse events during follow-up (death, arrhythmias, cardiac hospitalization). The secondary endpoints are: 1) evaluation of the …
Skin Pigment/Pulse Oximeter in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)
Recent retrospective studies have demonstrated differences between pulse oximeter values (SpO2) and measured arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in patients identifying as Black or Hispanic. These retrospective studies have limitations because self-reported race is likely not an accurate metric for level of skin pigmentation and the retrospective nature of these studies …
Atrial Late Gadolinium Enhancement in Patients With Repaired Congenital Heart Disease
In this research study the investigators want to learn more about how well the investigators can visualize scar tissue in the heart by MRI. In patients with congenital heart disease who need a procedure in the electrophysiology laboratory, how the MRI findings match the findings in the electrophysiology laboratory is …
