Evaluation of cardiac and extra cardiac vascular defects associated with Tetralogy of fallot in pediatric patients, regarding frequency and types of anomalies with assesment of multidetector computed tomography diagnostic value.
The CMR/CT WG of the Italian pediatric cardiology society set up a multi-center observational clinical database of repaired-TOF evaluated. This registry will enroll prospectively patients evaluated by CMR for clinical indication in most of the CHD Italian centers. Data collection will include surgical history, clinical data, imaging data, and also adverse cardiac events for a period of 6 years.
Individuals with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) remain at risk for sudden cardiac death from ventricular tachycardia (VT). Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) indications continue to broaden, yet its capability to reduce the risk of VT and sudden cardiac death remains unknown. Thus, in a cohort of participants with rTOF who are presenting for TPVR the investigators intend to: (1) quantify and localize right ventricular (RV) isthmuses with abnormal voltage and/or conduction velocity; (2) identify which RV isthmuses are at risk of being "jailed" by TPV prostheses; and (3) explore the feasibility of omnipolar technology to characterize wavefront directionality and differentiate slow conduction from conduction block.
We propose the novel integration of two echocardiographic technologies - three-dimensional echocardiography using semi-automated right ventricular analysis coupled with the administration of ultrasound enhancing agents - to improve the inter-rater reliability and accuracy of various measures of right ventricular size and function, compared with cardiac MRI.
Randomized clinical trial: comparison between Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate cardioplegia and cold blood cardioplegia for myocardial protection for Fallot tetralogy patients undergoing total repair This study aims to compare HTK cardioplegic solution and cold blood cardioplegia to provide optimal myocardial protection for a patient with tetralogy of Fallot planned for total repair.
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 purpose of this study is to characterize the functionality of transcatheter implantation of the Medtronic Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) achieved by real-world implanters.
This study aims to study the correlation between biomarkers of myocardial fibrosis (extracellular volume fraction calculated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (T1-mapping) and levels of molecular biomarkers of fibrosis) and adverse events in a population of patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
Heart failure is a common long-term complication in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Medical treatments to promote regeneration of new healthy heart muscle cells have the potential to provide new heart failure treatments for these patients. The development of such therapies is limited by the poor understanding of the ways in which heart muscles grow after birth. Investigators have learned that humans without heart disease generate new heart muscles cells up to the age of 20 years old and that this is decreased in patients with congenital heart disease like Tetralogy of Fallot. Investigators are trying to determine if treatment with a medicine called Propranolol can increase heart muscle cell proliferation and, with that, normalize heart growth. Investigators will examine discarded heart muscle tissue that is obtained during surgery for the presence of new heart muscle cells. Propranolol is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat a certain kind of benign tumor in infants (hemangioma), but it is not currently approved by the FDA to increase heart muscle growth.
