“…[1][2][3][4] Apart from the influence of racial disparities, the increasing utilization of echo cardiography in newborns in Taiwan, to facili tate the early diagnosis of mild congenital heart disease, is a possible explanation for this differ ence, especially in asymptomatic infants. 4,32 Moreover, the prevalence of congenital heart disease in our study was higher than the preva lence reported in one previous local study, by Wu and associates, 4 who used only National Health Insurance claims in their analysis.…”

“…Prevalence at birth ranges from 5 to 15 per 1000 live births. [1][2][3][4] Despite advances in pediatric cardiac diagno sis and medical care, congenital heart disease remains the leading cause of perinatal and infant death due to congenital malformations. 5,6 How ever, little information is available about the risk factors, especially modifiable environmental and behavioural factors that may have adverse effects on fetal cardiac development; this lack of information represents a great obstacle in the prevention of congenital heart disease.…”

“…While valvar disease included acquired disease due to various stresses, the structural abnormalities generally reflected CHD. Thus, the rise in the prevalence of significant structural abnormalities, as demonstrated in this study, is most probably related to improved survival into adolescence as seen elsewhere [20]. Those early years saw great advances in corrective surgery for significant structural lesions.…”

Abstract:Objective: To determine the prevalence, secular trends and associations of heart disease in a large unscreened, otherwise basically healthy, adolescent population. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional study of the cardiac status of 113,694 adolescents from the northern district of Israel, who completed the profiling process between the ages of 16 and 19, including all essential measures over a 22-year period. Results of imaging were categorized as either isolated valvar or structural abnormalities, and their clinically significant subgroups defined prospectively. The findings were correlated with the socio-demographic and anthropometric data and non-cardiac health conditions. Results: Of those sent for echocardiography, 1257 (0.93% of the total population) had isolated valvar disease and 216 (0.19%) had structural abnormalities, with 20% of both groups considered significant. Females had lower prevalence of heart disease. There was peak prevalence in the second 5-year period. Tall subjects or a past history of rheumatic fever had more valvar abnormalities. Thin subjects or those with skeletal anomalies had more structural abnormalities. Significant valvar and structural anomalies were more common in subjects with learning disorders, endocrine disorders and diabetes mellitus. Fewer valvar abnormalities were diagnosed in obese subjects. Heart disease was more common in those with non-solid tumors. Conclusion: Appreciable numbers of potentially healthy adolescents were found to have heart disease. There appeared to be an association with body size, skeletal abnormalities and relatively common medical disorders, the cause of which remains to be determined in prospective studies that could change the way common adolescent disease should be followed.

“…Der plötzliche Herztod beim Sport ist vorwiegend bei Athleten untersucht, bei denen vorgängig kein gesundheitliches Problem und kein angeborener Herzfehler bekannt war. In der Autopsie finden sich in dieser Situation am häufigsten eine hypertrophe Kardiobend geborener Kinder, [4] andererseits hat sich die Wahrscheinlichkeit das Erwachsenenalter zu erreichen in den letzten Jahren kontinuierlich auf >90% verbessert [5]. Zusätzlich ist mit einem Anstieg der Lebenserwartung der GUCH-Patienten in den kommenden Jahren zu rechnen.…”
