As are many others in view of the results of the recent US elections, I will be switching my platforms to #Instagram. Hopefully will find there a forum more dedicated to dissemination of truth/science!

Interesting and important for counseling: #AVB and #LBBB more common after #SAVR in #BAV versus #TAV AND LBBB associated with adverse outcomes. Why not PPM? Doesn't that also cause LBBB? @alexvdbruaene @AlexFrogoudaki @elena_gribaudo pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39440421/
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Conduction Disturbances and Outcome After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With... New-onset LBBB after SAVR is associated with increased all-cause mortality during follow-up, and is more frequent complication in BAV AS patients compared with TAV-AS patients. BAV-AS patients with... As if more confirmation was needed, #Fontan is a SYSTEMIC DISEASE. Information on total body health status may improve outcomes. Plasma biomarkers/metabolomics as possible indicators? @AlexFrogoudaki @sasha_opo @AliZaidiMD @mgoschu pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39423992/
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Fontan circulation and systemic disease - a retrospective cohort analysis over 35 years of follow... This population-based study demonstrated that patients with a Fontan circulation had increased risk of SD, which in turn led to higher risk of mortality. These findings underscore the need for more... Interesting that the associations with #SCD in #Fontan are described markers of Fontan failure (PLE/Plastic bronchitis, ventricular dilation/dysfunction, NYHA). What's the mechanism? @sasha_opo @alexvdbruaene @ShelbyKuttyMD @swatigar pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39453360/
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Cardiac MRI Predictors of Arrhythmic Sudden Cardiac Events in Patients With Fontan Circulation -... SCE occurred in 3.5% of the study population, and one-third of patients who experienced SCE died. Mild ventricular dysfunction and dilatation by cardiac magnetic resonance, NYHA functional class, and... Wow! Another important study on #Fontan related #Frailty. Could systemic metaboloic changes related to poor physical activity, physiologic, dietary and genetic factors be contributing to Fontan failure? Here 6MWD most impacted. @AdditionalVent @mgoschu pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39367114/
