BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend that adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergo noncardiac surgery in regionalized centers of expertise, but no studies have assessed whether this occurs in the United States. We hypothesized that adults with CHD are less likely than children to receive care at specialized CHD centers. METHODS Using a comprehensive state ambulatory surgical registry (Ca...

METHODS A population based cohort study of 2267 men and 2931 women, aged ≥ 30 years. Prior CHD was defined as self-repor...

Introduction: A gross anatomical anomaly of the heart or intrathoracic great vessels that is actually potentially functionally significant referred to as congenital disease (CHD). One main reasons for newborn mortality CHDs. hospital-based study from India estimates 3.9 out every 1000 live babies are affected by disease. Thus, we conducted this research with aim prevalence, age-wise distributio...

Advances in imaging, catheter-based interventions, congenital heart disease surgery, and clinical management of (CHD) have yielded a dramatic change age distribution the CHD population. This implores clinicians researchers to gain better understanding aging, as this will be cornerstone how we plan manage rapidly evolving group patients. In article, first review demographic changes population th...

background although current data shows a positive association between obesity and development of coronary heart disease (chd) in general population, there is limited data on the important protective role of central or general obesity in patients with prevalent chd or the “obesity paradox”, from this region. conclusions results of this study demonstrated an apparently protective effect for overw...
