Using a statewide survey methodology to prioritize pediatric cardiology core content
ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the utility of an online survey methodology to identify pediatric cardiology content perceived most important. Learners and faculty generally provided concordant responses regarding most important content within the cardiology‐specific ABP objectives. Medical educators could apply this methodology to inform curriculum revision. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)

Body composition, appetite ‐related hormones, adipocytokines, and heart failure in adult patients with congenital heart disease: A preliminary study
ConclusionsPatients with Fontan circulation and those with cyanosis might be at a risk of sarcopenia. Despite the decreased skeletal muscle mass and increased body fat, ghrelin levels in these patients were decreased. These changes might have a negative impact on HF in these patients.

Heparin ‐induced thrombocytopenia complicating children after the Fontan procedure: Single‐center experience and review of the literature
Abstract
Heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life‐threatening complication of heparin therapy. The risk for HIT correlates with the cumulative dosage of heparin exposure. In Fontan patients, recurrent systemic anticoagulation, traditionally with heparin, is used to alleviate the thrombotic complications that may occur postoperatively when the venous pressure rises and the systemic venous flow into the pulmonary arteries becomes sluggish, putting them at increased risk. As a pressure gradient‐dependent circulation, elevation in systemic venous pressure, most often by venous thrombosis, contributes to circuit f...

Lambl's excrescences in children: Improved detection via transthoracic echocardiography
ConclusionsThe prevalence of LE in children is lower than that reported in adults, this supports the age‐related “wear and tear” process that has been described in previous studies. LE do not require intervention or more aggressive invasive imaging in children. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)
