Scott Auerbach, MD Joey Spinner Angie Lorts Ari Cedars Michael Felker Ryan J Tedford MD David Peng worked on acute “iron lung”/NPV effects. Definitely potential but response depends on the Fontan pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31468061/

Particularly our Fontan patients with circulatory insufficiency - would they benefit from diaphragm stimulation to modulate preload reserve, afterload, and autonomic tone? Scott Auerbach, MD Angie Lorts Kurt Schumacher Ari Cedars Michael Felker Ryan J Tedford MD

Thank you Emmanuel Acho . We need many more people like you. #EndJewHatred

Information on SubQ ICD in #Tetralogy patients. Seems equally efficacious for rescue and similar adverse event rates. 65% of transvenous therapies though were ATP though. Less pain with transvenous? Shelby Kutty, MD, PhD, MHCM Elisa Bradley Ali N Zaidi, MD pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36265962/

This is kind of cool and interesting. I wonder if some combination of liver size and elastography scores, might predict histology and prognosis in #Fontan with #FALD .

Ari Cedars Shelby Kutty, MD, PhD, MHCM John Spertus ACTION Ada C. Stefanescu Schmidt, MD MSc FACC Alexander (Sasha) Opotowsky Getting patient reported outcomes incorporated into the #FON registry is going to be a vital step to really understanding HOW patients with #Fontan circulation are doing

I'm a huge believer in #PROMs as tools. Excellent prognostic power and totally underutilized. Here, in addition to shameless self-promotion, are my views on the topic!

#HDP in pregnant women with heart disease associated with 4-5x⬆️mortality! Interesting to me: ⬆️RV pressure strongly associated with preeclampsia (PAH, pulm atresia),⬆️CVP not ( #Fontan ). Mechanism? Anum Minhas Garima Sharma M.D Erin D. Michos, M.D. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35727736/

In this population study from Sweden, #CKD is associated with #CHD . Unfortunately, not able to identify those I'd presume to be at highest risk: #Fontan patients or those with RV failure.

Reassuring data from Mayo Clinic showing in their entire database only 1 PA dissection in association with PA aneurysm. I've always told patients it's a benign finding! Pregnancy safe too! Shelby Kutty, MD, PhD, MHCM Alexandra Frogoudaki Ali N Zaidi, MD pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36216090/

#Ross has pretty good outcomes for pregnancy. Certainly lower risk than AS! Will need to be vigilant long term for implications of neo-root dilatation in this setting-poss ⬆️ by pregnancy. Garima Sharma M.D Anum Minhas Erin D. Michos, M.D. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36181953/

Accompanying editorial has my views. Please don't deprive patients needing interventions of those interventions! Referral for comanagement good, referral for transplant when other options available bad.
