The first classification on this topic categorized cardiomyopathies as heart muscle diseases
with dilated (DCM), hypertrophic, restrictive, arrhythmogenic right ventricular (ARVC), or …

Congenital heart disease is diagnosed in 0.4% to 5% of live births and presents unique
challenges to the pediatric anesthesiologist. Furthermore, advances in surgical …

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect. Traditionally, a
polygenic model defined by the interaction of multiple genes and environmental factors was …

Background—Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect with
family-and population-based studies supporting a strong genetic cause for CHD. The goal of …

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect. The advent of
corrective cardiac surgery and the increase in knowledge concerning the longitudinal care …

Ventricular hypertrabeculation (noncompaction) is a poorly characterized condition
associated with heart failure. The condition is widely assumed to be the retention of the …

Ebstein anomaly of the tricuspid valve (EA) can be associated with left ventricular non‐
compaction (LVNC), a rare congenital cardiomyopathy. We report a 2 year‐old female with …

Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a rare heart defect in which the tricuspid valve is malformed and
displaced. The tricuspid valve abnormalities can lead to backflow of blood from the right …

Background Left ventricular non‐compaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy. Many
genetic variants have been associated with LVNC. However, the number of the previous …

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by impaired left ventricular (LV) systolic
function and left ventricular dilation. Remarkable progress has been made in understanding …
