OBJECTIVE
To determine whether patients with coarctation of the aorta (COA) were more likely to develop obesity compared with the general population or others with isolated forms of congenital heart disease.
METHODS
We conducted a cross-sectional study of 160 patients who underwent COA repair at our
BACKGROUND
Obesity affects almost one-third of pregnant women and causes many complications, including neural tube defects. It is not clear whether the risk of congenital heart defects, the most common malformations, is also increased.
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to determine whether obesity
LEOPARD syndrome (multiple Lentigines, Electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, Ocular hypertelorism, Pulmonary stenosis, Abnormal genitalia, Retardation of growth, sensorineural Deafness; LS), also called Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines (NSML), is a rare autosomal dominant disorder
OBJECTIVE
The burden of heart failure (HF)-related hospitalization and mortality of female patients with HF is substantial. Currently, several gender-specific distinctions have been recognized amongst HF patients, but their relationships to outcomes have not been fully elucidated. Accordingly, in
OBJECTIVE
Congenital heart diseases are among the most frequent major congenital anomalies. One of the suspected reasons for congenital heart defects is overweight and obesity of mother during prepregnancy and pregnancy. We studied the relationship between maternal overweight and obesity and the
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to examine associations between prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and congenital heart defects (CHDs).
METHODS
These analyses included case infants with CHDs (n = 6440) and liveborn control infants without birth defects (n = 5673) enrolled in the National
BACKGROUND
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive multiple congenital anomaly/mental retardation syndrome caused by a defect in cholesterol synthesis. Affected individuals have dysmorphism, short stature, failure to thrive, microcephaly, multiple congenital malformations,
Carpenter syndrome (Acrocephalopolysyndactyly type 2, OMIM 201000) is a rarely seen autosomal recessive disorder. In addition to abnormalities such as acrocephaly, craniosynostosis, facial asymmetry, polydactyly and syndactyly, obesity, hypogonadism, mental retardation, and corneal opacity, it may
We reviewed our experience with 382 fetal echocardiograms. Complete studies were not possible for three pregnancies because of either fetal position or maternal obesity. Studies were performed for fetal arrhythmia (28%), maternal factors (21%), fetal anomaly (11%) and family history of congenital
Survival of infants born with congenital heart disease (CHD) is improving tremendously and although most of them have mild lesions, others may be considered as only being palliated and undergo many medical or surgical interventions. Patients with CHD will be exposed to the same problematic of the
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between maternal body mass index and all congenital heart defects (CHDs) combined and 11 individual defects. PubMed, ELSEVIER ScienceDirect, and Springer Link (up to February 2013) were searched, and the reference list of retrieved articles
