From Other Journals: A Review of Recent Articles by Our Editorial Team.
Tarek AlsaiedAwais AshfaqPublished in: Pediatric cardiology (2021)
In this review, we provide a brief description of recently published articles addressing topics relevant to pediatric cardiologists. Our hope is to provide a summary of the latest articles published recently in other journals in our field. The articles address (1) preterm birth association with ventricular fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction in adulthood, (2) shared decision-making as a viable strategy to counsel patients with long QT syndrome to return to play, (3) using pulmonary-to-aortic surgical shunt in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension which is associated with similar 5-year survival compared to lung transplant, (4) the use of donor-derived cell-free DNA to screen for heart transplant rejection, and (5) the role of microvasculature in hypoplastic left heart syndrome using cardiac magnetic resonance.
