Studies have shown that ACHD patients have a higher risk for CAD than their non-ACHD matches, highlighting the need for awareness and prevention efforts among congenital heart disease specialists and non-ACHD cardiologists. At the same time, ACHD patients with CAD often present specific characteristics all practicing cardiologists should be aware of. While further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying the higher CAD risk in this population, this article summarizes key evidence on CAD in ACHD and emphasizes on one hand the importance of early screening and management of known cardiovascular risk factors in ACHD patients, particularly those who are younger, female, or have more complex/severe CHD.

SRV patients are at a higher risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) than other adult CHD patients and continues to be a significant cause of death in this aging population. However, the pathophysiology of ventricular arrhythmias in SRV is still not fully understood, and there may be differences between subtypes of CHD. Although these events are rare, predicting them is challenging. This review discusses contemporary strategies for assessing and preventing the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in SRV patients. Several risk factors have been identified to be associated with ventricular arrhythmias in patients with SRV. A recent risk stratification model combines independently associated factors into a risk score, and subpulmonary left ventricle dysfunction is emerging as a critical factor in risk assessment. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, biomarkers, and genetic data may refine the ability to predict ventricular arrhythmias in SRV. However, the question of whether implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) should be used as a preventive measure in this cohort remains unanswered. Multicenter studies are needed to evaluate risk models and ICD use in this aging population. Given that ICDs have drawbacks, such as a high rate of inappropriate shocks and late lead-related complications, shared clinical decision-making is crucial when considering their use. The review emphasizes the need for further research in this area to improve the identification of patients at risk of clinical ventricular arrhythmias and to develop effective prevention strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73429,"journal":{"name":"International journal of cardiology.

QRS prolongation is a well-known ECG predictor of these outcomes but has poor sensitivity for mortality. Growing evidence demonstrates QRS fragmentation (fQRS) as a better prognostic marker for mortality in adults with rTOF, though the two markers have not been directly compared as correlates for CMR abnormalities. Additionally, fQRS has never been studied in pediatric TOF. This single institution retrospectively reviewed 138 CMRs in rTOF patients (median age 21.7 years) who had a corresponding 12-lead ECG within 1 year. fQRS was defined as ≥3 R-waves/notches in the R/S complex (>2 in right bundle branch block) in ≥2 contiguous leads. QRS prolongation was defined as QRS ≥160 ms. Nearly half (46%) the sample had fQRS (42.1% of pediatric subgroup), and 26% had QRS prolongation. Both markers were significantly associated with reduced RV ejection fraction (EF%) (p < 0.01) and larger RV end-diastolic volumes (p < 0.01). QRS prolongation alone predicted lower LV EF% (p = 0.02). Regression analyses showed both QRS prolongation (p < 0.01) and fQRS (p < 0.01) independently associated with reduced RV EF%; QRS prolongation alone predicted RV dilation (p < 0.01). We concluded that both QRS prolongation and fQRS are equivalent as significant markers of RV dysfunction in rTOF patients. QRS prolongation may be a better surrogate for RV dilation specifically. fQRS was frequently seen in children with rTOF and was significantly associated with similar late structural sequelae.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73429,"journal":{"name":"International journal of cardiology.
