1. Valvular aortic stenosis in children. Outcome, physical activity and health-related quality of life
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Isolated valvular aortic stenosis (VAS) accounts for 3–5% of congenital heart disease and presents with a wide spectrum of severity. Critical VAS in the neonate is the most severe form, fatal in the absence of treatment. Physical activity is essential for normal development and is a prerequisite for long-term cardiovascular health. LÄS MER
2. The effect of pressure afterload due to aortic coarctation on left ventricular function in children
Sammanfattning : Background:Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital heart disease which represents a narrowing of the proximal descending aorta, hence increasing pressure afterload to the left ventricle (LV). Conventional treatment of native CoA is surgical repair, however potential recurrence or other related complications e.g. LÄS MER
3. Vascular function in bicuspid aortic valve disease
Sammanfattning : The aortic valve normally consists of three cusps (tricuspid aortic valve, TAV), but in 0.5-2% of the population it consists of only two cusps (bicuspid aortic valve, BAV), which is the most common congenital cardiac malformation. LÄS MER
4. Follow-up of adults with congenitally malformed hearts with focus on individualised and computer-based education and psychosocial support : A descriptive and interventional study
Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Many adults with congenitally malformed hearts are at risk for complications such as decreased function and capacity of the heart due to the heart defect and previously surgery. This advocates self-management behaviours related to medical treatments, physical activity, preventions of endocarditis, some restrictions regarding suitable employment and spare time activities, birth control and pregnancy, but also lifestyle concerns such as refraining from smoking and healthy eating.

5. Interventional closure of persistent foetal cardiac shunts including PDA and PFO : study of outcome, complications and novel methods
Sammanfattning : 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). LÄS MER
