Primary Objectives:- Determine the effect of pulmonary vasodilatation on indexed cardiac output during simulated exercise.- Characterization of structural properties of small pulmonary arteries.Secondary Objectives: - Investigate the effect of…
The primary objective is to investigate the determinants of aortic root deformation occurring >= 3 months after successful ASO implantation in adult patients with an atrial septal defect.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between atrial septal defects and airway responsiveness before and after percutaneous closure.
The aim of this study is to identify genetic defects underlying CHD and aortic aneurysms. This will provide insight in the aetiology and heredity of these diseases.
1. To characterize and compare RV myocardial structure, contraction patterns, and functional capacity of (A) PH patients (group 1 or 4, the latter are to be inoperable), (B) patients with pressure overloaded RV due to CHD and (C) healthy controls. 2…
To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the VU-AMS in pediatric cardiology.To validate and improve the measures of stroke volume from the VU-AMS device in a clinical population. VU-AMS stroke volume measures will be compared with stroke volume…
1. To obtain early diagnostic and prognostic markers for preterm premature rupture of membranes and premature labour, based on ultrasound examinations of mother, placenta and fetus and markers present in blood and urine of mother at 11-14 weeks and…
Our primary objective is to identify the patients with congenital heart defects in whom CHD7 mutation detection is needed. Secondly we want to identify the co-existing medical problems in children with a congenital heart defect due to a CHD7…
primary objective:-to define the optimal glucose intake by quantifying endogenous glucose production and fractional gluconeogenesis in critically ill children.secundary objectives:-determine glucose utilization in relation with exogenous glucose…
The PRELHUDE study investigates the reversal of the ZAHARA3 study; whether subclinical congenital heart disease occurs in women who deliver prematurely for unknown reason. The biosamples taken during and after delivery will be used to determine…
Fontan circulation: Analysis of its Impact on quality of life and Rate of deterioration (FAIR study)
Primary Objective: - Investigating the rate of the attrition and predictors of the failing Fontan circulation, defined as decrease in functional capacity. Secondary Objective(s): - Investigating predictors of decrease in NYHA class of Fontan…
The main objectives are 1) is to evaluate the prevalence of cardiac complications long-term after ASO by investigation of cardiac function as well as clinical outcome and to determine which factors (associated with life style or operative techniques…
to evaluate progression of IMT in post-coarctectomy patients in 7 years follow up.
To get insight in the long term results (mortality, morbidity and cardiologic function) of patients with congenital heart disease operated at young age. To compare whether the changes in surgical techniques have resulted in an increase of (…
The objective of the present study is the evaluation of ventricular function in patients with congenital heart defects by means of newly developed echocardiographic techniques as tissue doppler and speckle traking stran rate echocardiography. Since…
1. To investigate the causal relationships between atherosclerotic disease risk and existing, long-term cyanotic heart disease. 2. To differentiate these causal relationships according to each of the assessed risk factors and their relationship with…
- To determine physical fitness in children with a congenital heart disease (ventricular septum defect, atrium septum defect, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of large arteries and patients after a (modified) Fontan-operation) and to compare…
To study whether inflammmation plays a role in patients with RV disease, and can be detected with Gallium-67 scintigraphy
Primary Objectives: To prospectively investigate the changes in cardiac parameters (echocardiography, NT-pro-BNP) and uteroplacental flow (pulsatility index, diastolic notching) during/after pregnancy in women with CHD and compare these changes with…
An explanation of the complete spectrum of anomalies seen in fetuses with increased NT could be a disturbed endothelial differentiation related to the cardiovascular development. Cardiac defects form the severe end of the spectrum. More data, both…
