Genes Associated With Development of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Patients With Congenital Shunt Lesions
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with considerable morbidity and even mortality. Next to environmental risk factors, the investigators believe that there is an important role of genetic predisposition to develop PAH in CHD. There often is a discrepancy between the severity of …
Mind the Heart - Mental Health in Children and Adolescents With Congenital Heart Defects
The aim of the Mind the Heart study is to document the feasibility of an online parent/child administered screening model for mental disorders (MDs) in Danish children and adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD). As MDs in children and adolescents with chronic somatic health issues are frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated, …
Prince of Wales Hospital Structural Heart Registry
Structural heart disease refers to a group of cardiac defects other than coronary artery disease. Structural heart intervention is a rapidly growing field in cardiology. In the past decade, there has been paradigm shift in the management of structural heart disease from conventional open-heart surgery to transcatheter interventions. With increasing …
Blood Based Assessment of sST2, Taken During and After Surgery, for Pediatric Patients With Heart Defects to Predict Heart Failure.
Patients younger than 18 scheduled for congenital heart surgery will be assessed during and post-operatively as well as at the first follow-up after 9-12 month for the novel biomarker sST2. We will assess the marker independently and in evaluation with other blood biomarkers to evaluate sings of heart failure. Compared …
Molecular Genetics of Heterotaxy and Related Congenital Heart Defects
The goal of this study is to obtain specimens and data from individuals and their families with heterotaxy and related congenital heart defects in order to clarify the molecular genetics of this disorder. The knowledge gained from the analysis of this information will provide the basis for future genetic counseling …
Swiss National Registry of Adults With Congenital Heart Disease
Due to successes in the last decades in pediatric heart surgery and cardiology, 90-95% of the children with congenital heart disease reach adult age.This results in an increasing number of adults or "grown-ups" with congenital heart disease (ACHD or GUCH patients) that require special health care organization and training programmes. …
Characterization and Support for Neurodevelopmental Disorders Associated With Congenital Heart Defects
The leading cause of birth defects, Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) affect 12 million people worldwide and 41,000 newborns/year in Europe. It's a major cause of life-long morbidity and mortality, and a crucial public health issue. More than 50% of childs born with critical CHD will develop Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDs), requiring …
Post Marketing Clinical Follow Up Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of the Occlutech PDA Occluder in Patients With Patent Ductus Arteriosus Defects
This retrospective and prospective, multicenter, international post marketing follow up study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the Occlutech® PDA Occluder, delivered using the Occlutech Occlusions Pusher (OOP), in subjects with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) defects. Safety and efficacy assessments include vital signs, electrocardiograms, and echocardiographic evaluations performed at baseline/implantation …
Fetal Ebstein Anomaly and Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia Registry
Ebstein anomaly and tricuspid valve dysplasia (EA/TVD) are rare congenital tricuspid valve malformations that carry among the highest mortality of all congenital heart disease diagnosed in utero. Despite the high mortality associated with severe EA/TVD in the fetus, it has only been studied retrospectively. By prospectively enrolling a cohort across …
Building of a Diagnostic/Prognostic Database for Human ERG Variant Effects
Cardiac channelopathies induce severe heart rhythm or conduction disorders. Mutations of the KCNH2 gene, that encodes the human (h) ERG channel, is responsible for 30-40% of all cases of long QT syndrome (inherited LQT2). Besides, hERG is frequently responsible for off-target effects of several pharmacological agents (acquired LQT2). With the …
