The 2015 Joint Conference on Advances in Pediatric Cardiovascular Disease Management
was held in Traverse City, Michigan, September 17-20, 2015. The Conference was sponsored by the University of Michigan Congenital Heart Center, in partnership with the Children ’s Hospital at Montefiore and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. (Source: Progress in Pediatric Cardiology)

Towards standardization: Analysis of specific modifiable perioperative process measures among neonates undergoing arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum – A mini-pilot for the California Congenital Cardiac Consortium
The California Congenital Cardiac Consortium (CCC) was conceived to define the variation and scope of care for neonates undergoing cardiac operations at seven participating California centers and to determine whether standardization could improve quality and value. This mini-pilot study analyzes defined perioperative practices and outcomes of neonates undergoing arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA/IVS).

Diagnosis and Treatment Strategies for Children with Myocarditis
Overview. Myocarditis is defined as an inflammatory disease of the myocardium, which results in cardiac structural and functional abnormalities secondary to cell injury and death. The true incidence of this condition is difficult to estimate secondary to a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations that range from asymptomatic patients with incidental lab findings to cardiogenic shock and sudden death. A recent evaluation of a large administrative database revealed that myocarditis accounted for 0.05% of pediatric discharges in the United States. (Source: Progress in Pediatric Cardiology)

Biomarkers in pediatric heart failure
A biomarker is intended to provide additional information regarding the diagnosis, prognosis and/or treatment of a disease process. A useful biomarker must be reliable, reproducible, valid and easy to use. Considerations for ease of use of any biomarker include availability of the test, cost, turnaround time and ability of the provider to interpret the results. However, the utility and significance of biomarkers extends beyond their added value to clinical practice. Biomarkers are also commonly used as clinical trial endpoints, a particularly important consideration in pediatric heart failure (HF) where clinical trials are...

The evolution of medical therapy for children with heart failure
has largely moved in parallel with the development of knowledge concerning medical therapy in adults. Euphemisms aside, we dare say we in Pediatrics rode the coattails of our adult colleagues where the rigorous trial data and innovations originated. However, as we have heard it preached time and time again, “Children are not adults”, pediatric cardiovascular diseases are different, and the pediatric comorbidities are dissimilar from adults.

Big data in medicine: The upcoming artificial intelligence
We are immersed in a sea of data as a result of a proliferation of Internet-enabled communications: texts in books and publications, sensor data from monitors and self tracking devices, audiovisual data (recordings, pictures, video clips, etc.), social media postings (Internet, Twitter, blogs, etc.), and even global positioning system (GPS) signals. We, as data agents, are presently creating 2.5 quintillion (2.5 ×1018) bytes of data per day, and incredibly, 90% of all current data that is estimated to be at 2zettabytes (or 2trillion gigabytes) was produced only in the last two years with most of this data being unstructur...
