Resource reduction in pediatric chest pain: Standardized clinical assessment and management plan
ConclusionsThe Chest Pain SCAMP effectively streamlines cardiac testing and reduces resource utilization. Further reductions can be made by algorithm refinement regarding echocardiograms for exertional symptoms. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)

Development of quality metrics for ambulatory care in pediatric patients with tetralogy of Fallot
ConclusionsThe ACPC Council was able to develop QM for ambulatory care of children with repaired TOF. These patients should have documented genetic testing for 22q11.2 deletion. However, lack of evidence in the literature made it a challenge to formulate other evidence‐based QMs. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)

Low molecular weight heparin as an anticoagulation strategy for left ‐sided ablation procedures
ConclusionAdministration of low molecular weight heparin provides predictable anticoagulation and equally safe as unfractionated heparin when administered to patients post left‐sided ablation. A secondary gain has been reduction of procedural costs by elimination of the previously required inpatient observation stay. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)

Physical activity perceptions and behaviors among young adults with congenital heart disease: A mixed ‐methods study
ConclusionsThe influence of family appeared to help participants adopt a positive perception toward activity participation in childhood that was carried forward to young adulthood. Future clinical work should target adolescents with CHD with less social supports and/or negative perceptions toward physical activity. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)

Short ‐term outcomes following implementation of a dedicated young adult congenital heart disease transition program
ConclusionsDespite a dedicated transition clinic, successful transfer rates remained relatively low though comparable to previously published rates. Severity of disease and presence of implantable devices correlated with successful transfer. Other obstacles to transfer remain and require combined efforts from pediatric and adult care systems, insurance carriers, and policy makers to improve transfer outcomes.

Comparison of valvar and right ventricular function following transcatheter and surgical pulmonary valve replacement
ConclusionsTC PVR in patients age <17 years is associated with better PVR function in follow‐up compared to surgical valves. There was a transient decline in RV function following surgical but not TC PVR. TC PVR should therefore be the first choice in children who are considered for PVR, whenever possible.

Age is not a good predictor of irreversibility of pulmonary hypertension in congenital cardiac malformations with left ‐to‐right shunt
ConclusionsPulmonary hypertension may still be reversible in many surprisingly old patients with left‐to‐right shunt lesions, who may therefore still be operable. (Source: Congenital Heart Disease)
