Adult Congenital Heart Disease International EValuation of the Effectiveness of SGLT2i Registry

This real-world, international registry aims to evaluate the current experience with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients by investigating the prescription patterns, safety, tolerability, and potential beneficial effects on heart failure-related outcomes.

Cardiac Stem/Progenitor Cell Infusion in Univentricular Physiology (APOLLON Trial)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intracoronary injection of JRM-001 after reconstructive surgery in pediatric patients with functional single ventricle

An Integrated Prenatal and Postnatal Treatment Model for the Treatment of Newborns With Critical Congenital Heart Disease

The purpose of this two-way cohort study was to explore whether an integrated prenatal and postnatal treatment model for neonates with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) could be effective in avoiding preoperative morbidities, creating an ideal timing for surgery, thereby reducing postoperative in-hospital mortality, and improving surgical prognosis compared with the traditional model of care. In addition, in neonates with CCHD associated with the right cardiac system, the investigators aim to further investigate whether early postnatal cardiac surgery has the potential advantage of obtaining a time window for myocardial regeneration and thus improving myocardial remodeling. The aim of this study is to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic capacity of critical congenital heart disease and to promote the integrated prenatal-postnatal treatment model for clinical use. This will ultimately improve the quality of healthcare services for patients with cardiovascular diseases and lay the foundation for exploring guidelines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases suitable for China's national conditions. The project will be jointly implemented by Beijing Anzhen Hospital , Capital Pediatric Research Institute, and 307 PLA General Hospital. Starting from January 1, 2022, the hospitals will continue to collect hospitalized cases of newborns with CCHD. The integrated prenatal and postnatal model is defined as a definitive diagnosis of CCHD in the fetal period (22-26 weeks), documentation of intrauterine transfer in our obstetrics department, subsequent initiation of an intrapartum or postpartum surgical plan after multidisciplinary consultation, and transfer to the pediatric heart center at the first hour of life, where the child is treated with either postpartum immediate or elective surgery, depending on patient status. For neonates who meet the indications for emergency surgery, surgery is performed immediately after birth. For neonates with non-emergency surgical indications, surgery is performed after birth adjustment to optimal status. The traditional model was defined as postpartum transfer via an outside hospital with routine interventions. The investigators then evaluate surgical prognosis and myocardial regenerative capacity to compare the effects of the two treatment models. This project will validate the advantages of an integrated prenatal and postnatal model over traditional models through real-world research and will improve prognosis in neonates with CCHD.
