Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of congenital malformations, representing 1% of live births. Progress in surgical care have led to the dramatic increase in the population of children and adults living with heart disease. As survival is no longer a concern, long-term outcomes have become the major …
This study is being done to determine the mechanism(s) contributing to the onset of symptoms (i.e. shortness of breath and/or palpitations) as well as changes in heart structure in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD)
The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate the feasibility, sustainability, and public health impact of a district-based program for secondary prevention of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) in Uganda.
This study is enrolling pregnant persons treated at Rady Children's Hospital fetal cardiology program with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease to look for genetic disorders in the fetus or unborn baby. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a group of structural differences to the heart that represent the most …
Infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk for delayed neurodevelopment. Multiple etiological explanations have been proposed, as there seems to be a multifactorial interplay of both prenatal and perioperative factors. The main goal of this research project is to focus on peri-operative physiological risk factors in infants …
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 …
Insomnia is prevalent (45%) in CHD patients and associated with significantly increased risk for recurrent cardiovascular events. Insomnia has recently been identified as the third most important risk factor for prognosis. However, very few insomnia patients are identified and receive treatment of insomnia today. CBT-I is the first-line treatment for …
The benefits of cardiac rehabilitation have been supported by a large amount of evidence-based medicine. Cardiac rehabilitation can correct cardiovascular risk factors, reduce morbidity and mortality, and improve quality of life.
There are many barriers to heart-healthy lifestyles in pediatric patients with acquired and congenital heart disease. Investigators want to further understand how participants heart and skeletal muscles work together during exercise and evaluate the impact on cardiac function. To do this, the investigators will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to …
This project aims to validate sex-specific biologic signatures associated with aortic valve disease developed in a large multicenter CMR registry, using unsupervised phenomapping. The aim to use standard and advanced CMR techniques (MRF, DTI, chemical exchange transfer, and radiomics analysis) is to determine advanced CMR predictors of reverse remodeling following …
