متن کاملPediatric cardiology and adult congenital heart disease
Background: The major limitation of the anthracyclines (AC) class of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs is progressive cardiotoxicity. Currently, patients receiving AC are monitored by echocardiographic measurement of shortening fraction (SF). Other indices, though more sensitive, are technically difficult to obtain. There is a need for a sensitive and rapid biomarker to detect cardiac injury in the...
متن کاملRepair of Congenital Heart Defects: Essentials for the Adult Cardiologist
Congenital heart disease represents the most prevalent birth defect, and surgical and interventional advances have translated to a burgeoning adult population of patients. Timely, tailored, and lesion-specific interventions are necessary to optimise long-term outcomes for this complex, heterogeneous patient cohort. We present a review of the most common defects which may be encountered in gener...
