International pediatric cardiac efforts
Millions of children with congenital heart disease go without medical care throughout the world, especially in developing countries. It is estimated that only 7% of children with congenital heart disease have access to medical care. Efforts from major congenital heart centers in developed countries to participate in the care for and development of sustainable cardiac programs in these desperate countries are paramount to improving global health for children with congenital heart disease. Significant obstacles exist in developing these global programs including local government support, financial infrastructure and security...

On Purpose: New Directions in Life and Health

Infant Surgery and Diagnostic Echo: The evolving surgeon-cardiologist relationship
This is a personal narrative about the co-evolution of diagnostic echocardiography and infant cardiac surgery as experienced at Boston Children's Hospital in the 1970s. Both disciplines were experiencing exciting innovations throughout the world, but this snapshot of one institution's experience illustrates how they were interrelated. Such is my rationalization for the apparent self-absorption and tunnel-vision that follows. (Source: Progress in Pediatric Cardiology)

A career in congenital heart surgery: One surgeon's recollections
There is little question that a career as a congenital heart surgeon spanning some 30years has seen many incredible rewards as well as moments of sadness and disappointment. When asked to speak at the 2015 Joint Conference on Advances in Pediatric Cardiovascular Disease Management about the progress that has occurred in the treatment of congenital heart disease during my professional lifetime, I thought it would be most appropriate to use the evolution in the management of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) as the optimal example.

Progress in Pediatric Cardiology
Cardiomyopathies result in some of the worst pediatric cardiology outcomes, as nearly 40 percent of children who present with symptomatic cardiomyopathy receive a heart transplant or die within the first 2years after diagnosis. The percentage of children with cardiomyopathy who received a heart transplant has not declined over the past 10years and cardiomyopathy remains the leading cause of transplantation for children over one year of age. Studies from the NHLBI-funded Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Registry have shown that etiologies are established in very few children with cardiomyopathy yet genetic causes are likely to be p...

Early detection of acute kidney injury after pediatric cardiac surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasingly recognized as a common problem in children undergoing cardiac surgery, with well documented increases in morbidity and mortality in both the short and the long term. Traditional approaches to the identification of AKI such as changes in serum creatinine have revealed a large incidence in this population with significant negative impact on clinical outcomes. However, the traditional diagnostic approaches to AKI diagnosis have inherent limitations that may lead to under-diagnosis of this pathologic process. (Source: Progress in Pediatric Cardiology)
