2. 11. Reconstruction of the RVOT with a conduit: Lifetime follow up

   Author : Kristofer Skoglund; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; congenital heart disease; RVOT surgery; conduit; quality of life; outcome; TPVR;

   Abstract : Background: The use of a conduit is an established surgical method for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in congenital heart disease. The most commonly used conduit is a homograft. Its limited durability makes reinterventions almost inevitable but the actual durability of a conduit in the adult population is poorly described.

4. 12. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia in adults

   Author : Henrik Falhammar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting adrenal steroid synthesis. More than 95% of CAH cases are caused by reduced 21-hydroxylase function leading to variable extent of cortisol and aldosterone deficiency in addition to androgen excess. The foundation of CAH treatment is the use of glucocorticoids. READ MORE

5. 13. The right ventricle in volume or pressure overload : Insights from novel imaging techniques

   Author : Aleksandra Trzebiatowska-Krzynska; Eva Swahn; Niels Erik Nielsen; Lars Wallby; Marcus Carlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This study is inspired by the gap in knowledge regarding the timing of cardiac surgery and interventions in adult patients with congenital heart disease. There are many parameters used assessing right ventricular function; however, most of them have pitfalls. READ MORE

6. 14. Blood flow specific assessment of ventricular function : Visualization and quantification using 4D flow CMR

   Author : Alexandru Grigorescu Fredriksson; Carljohan Carlhäll; Bengt Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The spectrum of cardiovascular diseases is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Early assessment and treatment of these conditions, acquired as well as congenital, is therefore of paramount importance. The human heart has a great ability to adapt to various hemodynamic conditions by cardiac remodeling.

7. 15. Interventional closure of persistent foetal cardiac shunts including PDA and PFO : study of outcome, complications and novel methods

   Author : Kristoffer Jonathan Steiner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Persistent foramen ovale (PFO) and persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are two of the most common congenital heart defects (CHD). The incidence of PFO is reported to be between 10% and 35% (1, 2). In term infants, a PDA is seen in around one in 2000 births, accounting for 5% to 10% of all congenital heart disease (3, 4).
