White and Eustis were the first to document congenital complete heart block (CCHB) with electrocardiogram in 1921. Until the 1950s, CCHB without structural heart disease was considered rare and benign. CCHB is estimated to complicate one in 15,000–22,000 live births; however, the true incidence of CCHB is unknown as there is an association with structural congenital heart disease (CHD) with a… View more

Before the advent of surgery only 20% of children with congenital heart disease survived to adult life.1 Great achievements in paediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery over the last few decades resulted in an increased survival of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Today we are facing the first generation of grown-up congenital heart disease (GUCH) patients and the management of their… View more

Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are among the most common congenital malformations at birth, with an incidence of 8/1,000 live births. These defects are characterised by a heterogeneous group of abnormal communications and connections between the cardiac chambers and vessels with different haemodynamic consequences and, hence, varying need for follow-up and interventions. The most common forms… View more

Multiple variations of congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries exist that may occur in isolation or in association with other congenital anomalies. They can cause myocardial ischaemia. A rare but potentially lethal condition is the anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. As pulmonary pressures fall in newborns with this condition, myocardial perfusion becomes… View more

Did you know that atrial arrhythmias are the most common complication in adults with congenital heart disease? Dr Irene Martin de Miguel (Adult Congenital Heart Disease Fellow at Mayo Clinic Rochester, US) joins us in this featured author episode to outline her recent review article, Atrial Fibrillation in Congenital Heart Disease. In this podcast, Dr Martinde Miguel provides an overview of the… View more

Congenital malformations of the heart and vessels occur in five to nine per 1,000 live births.1,2 Some of these malformations (10–15%) do not require correction. Between 70 and 80% of defects can be corrected, and an increasing number of therapeutic procedures can be performed by interventional catheterisation techniques, avoiding the need for open heart surgery.1 Definitive therapeutic… View more

Advances in the treatment of complex congenital heart disease over the past 20 years have led to a dramatic improvement in long-term survival.1 However, the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias as a sequel of palliative heart surgery has also increased significantly in adolescent and adult survivors of congenital heart disease surgery.1,2 Cardiac arrhythmias are the leading cause of emergency… View more

Congenital heart disease is the most common congenital malformation and accounts for about eight cases per 1,000 births.1 Due to tremendous developments in cardiac surgery, nearly 90% of all children with congenital heart disease reach adult age. In patients with congenital heart disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may develop due to increased pulmonary arterial flow as a result of a… View more
