Dr. Lantin giving a Top 10 review of #ACCACPC research in 2020, a truly crazy year! #ACC21

🔟 No mention of 2020 could possibly ignore the effects of the global pandemic on research, patient care, and the way we share knowledge. #COVID19 #ACC21

9⃣ Imaging indices correlate with prognosis.
- Transplant/VAD-free survival correlates with MPI-DTI z-score
- Left atrial strain correlates with PCWP and helps identify graft rejection/failure
#ACC21

8⃣New concepts in intervention
- Fetal cardiac interventions
- Encouraging results in the Ozaki repair for aortic valve disease
- Encouraging results in sirolimus for preventing restenosis in PVS
#ACC21

7⃣EP Advancements
- CRT associated with improved transplant-free survival in pediatric and CHD patients
#ACC21

6⃣Developement of a risk score for interstage death or transplant after stage 1 palliation of single ventricle patients
#ACC21

5⃣Increasing focus on QOL, neurocognitive outcomes, palliative care, and social/racial disparities
#ACC21

4⃣and 3⃣New Guidelines for #ACHD care! #ACC21

2⃣Collaborative research #ACC21

1⃣And of course, #COVID19 and MIS-C #ACC21

And finally, a moment to honor two giants in the field of #CHD care who we lost, Dr. Jacqueline Noonan and Dr. William Norwood #RIP
#ACC21
