Data echoing a manuscript from last week, on #ECC #Fontan as opposed to #LT. Earlier and higher rates of cirrhosis (histology/hepatologist defined) in ECC. No advantage in #arrhythmia. Most 16mm conduits. Rethink current strategy? Kurt Schumacher ACTION pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38688450/

Hot of the press, 1005 paediatric patients with BAV treated prophylactically with atenolol or losartan. After 7 years follow up there was no difference in the annual aortic growth rate between treated and untreated patients. #CHD. internationaljournalofcardiology.com/article/S0167-…

Off the press. New Mortality Risk Score in ToF from the INDICATOR cohort. 5 independent predictors (>4 high risk): ▪️Older age at CMR ▪️Obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) ▪️ToF repair type ▪️Higher RVESVi ▪️Lower BVGFI (biventricular global function index) ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…
