Abstract:
In this review we provide a brief description of recently published articles addressing topics relevant to pediatric cardiologists. Our hope is to provide a summary of the latest articles published recently in other journals in our field. The articles address (1) a summary of a scientific statement of the American Heart Association for diagnosis and treatment of myocarditis, (2) development of a perioperative risk score for in-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery in adults with congenital heart disease, (3) using a machine learning algorithm to predict cardiopulmonary deterioration in patients in the interstage period 1-2 h in advance using hospital monitor generated data, (4) risk factors for reoperation after the arterial switch operation, (5) the effect of mitochondrial transplantation for cardiogenic shock in pediatric patients, (6) comparing outcomes of primary or staged repair in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.
