Objectives To provide a comprehensive overview of all reported cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) findings that predict clinical deterioration in pulmonary arterial …

Aims Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality and the
predictive capacity of traditional functional echocardiographic measures is poor. Recent …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a lethal complication of different connective tissue
diseases such as systemic sclerosis, mixed connective tissue disease and systemic lupus …

Aims The right ventricle (RV) remodels early after pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in
tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients. Previously reported preoperative thresholds to achieve …

Background Although QRS duration> 180 ms has prognostic value in adults with tetralogy of
Fallot (TOF), its sensitivity to predict mortality is low. Fragmented QRS complexes, a simple …

Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) are a major cause of morbidity in adults with
congenital heart disease (CHD). Few data exist on safety and efficacy of antiarrhythmic …

Importance Adults late after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are at risk for major
complications. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is recommended to …

Background: The effect of angiotensin II receptor blockers on right ventricular (RV) function
is still unknown. Angiotensin II receptor blockers are beneficial in patients with acquired left …

OBJECTIVE: Formerly preeclamptic women are at increased risk for remote cardiovascular
and thrombotic diseases. We studied co-occurrence of cardiovascular and prothrombotic …
