This week we review a recent work on postoperative ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) following congenital heart surgery in children. Are there risk factors for this arrhythmia and are any modifiable? What is the 'go to' therapy used by the electrophysiologists at Children's LA for the acute and chronic treatment of this arrhythmia in the postoperative period? Is the presence of EAT in a postoperative congenital heart patient a marker for a worse outcome? These are amongst the questions posed to Children's of Los Angeles pediatric electrophysiologist, Dr. Jonathan Uniat. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-022-03068-8

With the growing number of pediatric congenital heart patients growing up thanks to ever improving medical care, Dr. Scott Pilgrim takes us inside one of the few programs in the nation that bridges the gap to adult care without missing a beat. Meet the speaker Meet Dr. Pilgrim Related information Cook Children's Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program Adult Congenital Heart Disease Conditions Cook Children's Heart Center Specialty Programs Cook Children’s Heart Center Coming home: nurse returns to Cook Children’s for open heart surgery Diving heart first Heart-to-heart. Mother and daughter share the same cardiologist Transcript 00:00:02 Host Hello and welcome to Cook Children's Doc Talk. Today we're talking with Dr. Scott Pilgrim, who is the medical director of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease program here at Cook Children's. Dr. Pilgrim is board-certified in pediatrics, internal medicine, pediatric cardiology and adult congenital cardiology. Prior to coming to Cook Children's, Dr. Pilgrim founded the adult congenital heart disease program at the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center in Long Island. Today, under his leadership, the Adult Congenital Heart Disease program at Cook Children's Medical Center has shown tremendous growth with over 500 adult visits every year. Welcome Dr. Pilgrim. 00:00:42 Dr. Pilgrim Thank you. 00:00:43 Host So growing up with a sister who had heart surgery as a child had a major influence in your life, and ultimately led you to your role here at Cook Children's as medical director of the ACHD program, compared to many other cardiac specialties, adult congenital as a specialty is relatively new, can you give us a little history. 00:01:03 Dr. Pilgrim So, as you mentioned, my sister was born with a congenital heart disease. And so growing up with this in my family, it became of interest to me at a very young age. But as a field, congenital heart disease is something that has been around obviously, for several decades, this field of adult congenital heart disease has grown primarily because of the success stories that we've had in pediatric cardiology, namely, the surgical outcomes and the longevity of patients related to improved surgical care, improved surgical technique, you know, recognizing disease, early on fetal diagnosis, and so on and so forth. And so the incidence of congenital heart disease really hasn't changed. But the lifespan of individuals growing up with congenital heart disease has tremendously improved. And so when we think about the growth of adult congenital heart disease in the country, it really has grown out of necessity, because these kids are now growing up and becoming adults. In fact, the number of adults with congenital heart disease now far outweighs the number of children with congenital heart disease in th

Congenital Heart Disease or CHD is the number one leading cause of infant related death and it wasn't that long ago when the cardiovascular community didn't have enough “congenital heart disease” specialists working with adult survivors of CHD. Today, with help from the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Association (ACHA) the cardiovascular community has helped educate cardiologists on these abnormalities of the human heart and build a network of specialists throughout the world. I spoke with ACHA accreditation manager Misty Sharpe, also a CHD patient and nurse at Vanderbilt, about what ACHA is doing to connect adult patients, encourage and educate families, as well as work closely with the medical community to ensure families are aware of CHD specialists in their area or where the closest clinic is to their coordinates. As a survivor of CHD, Misty and I discuss the challenges we experienced when we became adults and had outgrown the children's hospital's age limit. Discover what happened and how we resolved that problem.ABOUT MISTY SHARPE"As the Accreditation Program Manager for the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA), I manage all aspects of the organization's national Accreditation Program for adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) centers. With a focus on patient-centered care, my role assists and guides programs through the process to ensure each meet a rigorous set of standards comprised of one hundred individual criteria across twenty categories related to staffing, policies and ancillary services. In 2020, the ability to adapt and pivot was critical for non-profit organizations and as ACHA's flagship program, it was necessary that the ACHD Accreditation Program do the same. I transitioned all site visits from an in-person format to completely virtual using the Zoom platform and successfully continued to move over ten programs through the process. During my career with ACHA, I have also participated in and led several initiatives related to volunteer recruitment, support programming improvement, community outreach and fundraising. I have collaborated on a variety of projects across various departments and currently serve on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Standing Committee. My background and education in both nursing and communications has been beneficial in providing opportunities to lend my knowledge and experience to meaningful discussions, projects and initiatives throughout the organization." -Misty Sharpe  (Reference: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mistyksharpe/)All Heart with Paul Cardall is sponsored by doTERRA, whose products are designed to offer hope and healing.

This week we enter the world of CT surgery to review a recent STS database study on outcomes of diaphragm paralysis following congenital heart surgery. How common is a diaphragm paralyzed following surgery and what are the main risk factors for this complication? How commonly are these plicated and how do those who are plicated fare in comparison to those managed more conservatively? Professor Narutoshi Hibino of U. Chicago shares his insights this week. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2020.05.175.

We are honored to have Mike Pazzaglini, CEO of St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy with us to talk about how they are meeting a great need in Texas by distributing free medications to those who are uninsured, a Texas resident, below 300% of Federal poverty level and have a valid prescription from a licensed provider. This program has literally exploded since inception, and Mike is here to tell us about the growth, and how you can be involved as a supporter. Congenital heart defects in newborns are the number-one birth defect in our country. Sadly, this can be a highly debilitating diagnosis, but it doesn't have to be anymore. There are amazing advancements in surgical and mechanical techniques that are saving lives and allowing kids to grow up almost "normal." Dr. Vivian Dimas joins us to talk about a new procedure she is doing at Medical City Children's Hospital, and was actually the first in North Texas to perform this one surgery she explains.

One of the most emotional areas of medicine is when a physician sits across from a family to tell them their child has a major heart defect that is going to require advanced medical treatment. Yet, that happens frequently here in North Texas at Children's Health, where advancements in this area gives families hope and have provided children with a new life. David Sutcliffe, Pediatric Cardiologist at Children's and UT Southwestern Medical Center joins us to talk about this very touching and heartwarming "Human Side of Healthcare." On this same path, often transplants become a consideration to fix these childhood diseases. We're delighted to have Dr. Dev Desai, Chief of Pediatric Transplantation at Children's Health and Professor of Surgery at UT Southwestern to discuss an area we often don't think about - children needing organs. Then, we conclude with Alejandro Mejia, MD, Transplant Surgeon and Executive Program Director of Organ Transplantation at Methodist Health System to talk about the importance of giving life to others by registering as an organ donor.

A mother's story typically begins with a love story - and Jae Day's love story may be unconventional to some, but she and her husband just knew they were meant for each other after getting married just four short months of dating. What inspired this now-mother-of-four to become a doula was wanting to provide services to women in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), specifically mothers, after she had been in the military for over 13 years and saw that there was a need for available resources and support to pregnant women.  After giving birth to her two boys and twin girls, Jae became a certified Maternal Support Practitioner (also known as a Doula), offering her doula services under the name "The Baby Days" and has worked as a birth and postpartum doula, mostly serving CAF women and spouses in the areas of CFB Borden and CFB Petawawa. This mama has remained strong, after her first son was diagnosed with a serious critical Congenital Heart condition and her twin baby girls were born premature and were in the NICU for several weeks before being reunited with their brothers and parents. Jae wants all mother's to know that pregnancy is one of the most beautiful journeys, but can also be of the hardest journeys, especially during a pandemic and she is here for anyone who may need resources, information, or guidance to help support pregnancy concerns during the pandemic.

This week we delve into the liver once more to review an intriguing report from the group at Johns Hopkins regarding hepatic stiffness in the 2 ventricle congenital heart patient. We know from prior works that single ventricle patients have enhanced liver stiffness but this work suggests that some 2 ventricle patients are also similarly affected. We speak with Professor Ari Cedars of Johns Hopkins University for his insights into these findings and who he thinks might warrant routine liver follow-up in the ACHD patient following congenital heart surgery. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2020

Have you heard of congenital heart defects?   A Congenital Heart defect is an abnormality in the heart that develops before birth. Congenital heart defect is one of the most common types of birth defects. Symptoms include abnormal heart rhythms, blue-tinted skin, shortness of breath, failure to feed or develop normally, and swollen body tissue or organs. Treatments include medications to lower blood pressure and control heart rate, heart devices, catheter procedures, and surgery. Serious cases may require a heart transplant. Today’s guest experienced an infant loss due to congenital heart defect and had a miscarriage. Keivon Hardy is a childless mother who managed life with prenatal and postpartum depression, anxiety, and isolation after her infant loss and miscarriage.  When she was 20 weeks pregnant with her son she found out via a routine ultrasound that he had a congenital heart defect.  Because his case was unique the doctors weren’t able to determine exactly what his defect was until birth.  After birth, it was determined that his blood vessels were too small to be operated on and he would need to grow before they could operate.  He lived to be one month old and never came home from the NICU.  Keivon went on to conceive again only to be faced with another loss a miscarriage while on birth control.   In today’s episode, Keivon takes us back to when she found out her son had a congenital heart defect, how she dealt with prenatal and postnatal depression, and losing her son and then having a miscarriage while on birth control. This episode is for you to listen to if you have experienced a infant loss due to congenital heart defect or a miscarriage while on birth control.

The doctor spent over an hour analyzing my baby's heart during the 31-week ultrasound. This was our second child and I knew something was not right. Turns out Abby had a congenital heart condition. Nothing can prepare you for that bit of news. Nothing. Don't waste time thinking about the what ifs. Save your energy for getting ready. Decisions need to be made. Which hospital to deliver at? Which hospital would be best for Abby post-birth? What level of care can its NICU provide? Which OB should deliver? My OB did not have admitting rights at the hospital of our choice. So many decisions. Don't think about the what ifs. I was afraid before the birth. So many things can go wrong. I knew they were going to take my baby from me. Our three year old, our dog, our home all fell on my husband's shoulders. He is the more rational one. Just be strong and patient. Abby had an abnormality in her heart. They had to stop Abby's heart before they could operate. She looked "dead" just laying there. Nothing can prepare you for that. Her chest was kept open for 24 hours after the surgery. Nothing can prepare you for that. Then you wait. That's all you do in the hospital. Just wait. Waited for 56 days in the NICU. I wasn't in control of anything. I needed ownership of something. I am her mother after all, but feedings and diaper changes were on the nurses' schedule. The nurses' strength carried me through. They were my rock. They understood me as a person, and took the white coat out of it. She has had three major surgeries. This surgeon has never nicked an artery before, but he nicked one during one of Abby's procedures. She was losing blood as quickly as they were giving it to her. They replaced her blood volume twice. She made it. She is a fighter. The stress and aggravation had to go somewhere. Small things can lead to big arguments, but our marriage survived. We promised to be at church every Sunday. Every Sunday. Over 50% of couples with seriously ill children don't make it. That wasn't going to be us. Our story is documented on our Facebook pages. One of our posts had over a million views. We used that momentum to raise money and help the NICU get more sound machines. Have a late term ultrasound. That's our advice. Just schedule it. Even if you don't think you need it. It will buy you time to prepare if something is not right. Three operations and 10 months later Abby is fine. Abby should live a relatively long and healthy life. We are fortunate. We were able to bring our baby home. The biggest resource is other parents who have gone through something similar. Reach out to us.

This week we enter the worlds of cardiovascular surgery and interventional catheterization to review a recent STS dataset analysis of postoperative transcatheter interventions. Who needed these sorts of catheterizations more commonly after surgery and what was the relation between needing such an intervention and overall outcomes? How much variability existed between centers in their use of interventional cath following congenital heart surgery? We speak with Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Kevin Hill of Duke University about his recent study on this subject. doi: 10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.119.007853

In this episode we are talking to Lindsay Uekman, Reed's Mom, about Reed's heart transplant journey at Arkansas Children's and how even a hurricane couldn't come between Reed and his family's journey to a new beginning.

Mark Donne, best man at my wedding and friend since age 5, significantly impacted my attitude towards my bipolar disorder. Mental illness is chronic in nature, and patients don't truly achieve a "cure," but rather, a reduction in symptoms. Mark was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart condition that has required him to undergo multiple open heart surgeries. Despite these constant visits to doctors, I never heard Mark complain. His attitude towards his condition is inspiring, because he never feels like a victim. Mark takes advantage of everyday he has, and continues to pursue his dreams. Mark and I discuss his experience living with his heart problems, and also the mental health of entrepreneurship.

CHAMP (Cardiac High Acuity Monitoring Program) is a multi-disciplinary based team that has been designed to meet the needs of the most complex cardiac population with single ventricle heart disease. The program closely monitors patients with single ventricle heart disease between the critical first and second stages (before stage II Glenn surgery). The team at the Ward Family Heart Center at Children's Mercy has also developed a tool that makes it easier for families to report their single ventricle child's vital signs from home and provides the hospital team with frequent updates needed to keep these patients well between visits. Dr. Hancock discusses everything you need to know about CHAMP.
