    Abstract Introduction: Implantation of transvenous endocardial or epicardial pacemakers presents specific challenges in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients. Micra leadless permanent pacemakers (Micra PPM) may overcome some of these difficulties.
    Methods: Fifteen ACHD patients who underwent Micra PPM insertion were retrospectively evaluated.
    Results: Males 53.3%. Mean age at study: 37.5 ± 10.7 years. Mean age at Micra PPM insertion: 35.5 ± 11.0 years. Mean follow-up so far: 2.0 ± 0.3 years. Concerning the ACHD patients, 6.7% had a simple defect, 66.6% had a moderately complex defect, 26.7% were complex. Four patients (26.7%) had a previous PPM implantation. Three patients (20%) had a systemic right ventricle. Two patients (13.3%) had a single ventricle physiology. Five (33.3%) had Trisomy 21. The most commonly used Micra PPM modality was single chamber ventricular pacemaker (73.3%). Mean threshold post implantation was 0.48 V [range: 0.25-1.13 V], while mean threshold at 6 months control was 0.60 V [range: 0.38-1.13 V] (p = ns). Mean R wave postimplantation was 10.3 V [range: 3.25-19.4 V], whilst mean R wave at 6 months follow-up was 10.1 V [range: 3.5-19.0 V] (p = ns). No major peri and postprocedural complications were encountered.
    Conclusions: since ACHD patients are living longer and surviving into adulthood, the incidence of conduction disorders continues to increase, as part of the natural history of some lesions or as early or late complication of surgery. The Micra leadless PPM can be successfully implanted in ACHD patients and have significant theoretical advantages. They should be considered when transvenous and epicardial pacing are either contraindicated or represent an otherwise suboptimal approach.

    Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a multifaceted illness causing clinical manifestations like dyspnea, fatigue, and cyanosis. If left untreated, it often evolves into irreversible pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), leading to death. Metabolomics is a laboratory technique capable of providing insights into the metabolic pathways that are responsible for a number of physiologic or pathologic events through the analysis of a biological fluid (such as blood, urine, and sputum) using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or mass spectrometry. A systematic review was finalized according to the PRISMA scheme, with the goal of providing an overview of the research papers released up to now on the application of metabolomics to PH/PAH. So, eighty-five papers were identified, of which twenty-four concerning PH, and sixty-one regarding PAH. We found that, from a metabolic standpoint, the hallmarks of the disease onset and progression are an increase in glycolysis and impaired mitochondrial respiration. Oxidation is exacerbated as well. Specific metabolic fingerprints allow the characterization of some of the specific PH and PAH subtypes. Overall, metabolomics provides insights into the biological processes happening in the body of a subject suffering from PH/PAH. The disarranged metabolic pathways underpinning the disease may be the target of new therapeutic agents. Metabolomics will allow investigators to make a step forward towards personalized medicine.

    Abstract Although the genetic origins underpinning congenital heart disease (CHD) have been extensively studied, genes, by themselves, do not entirely predict phenotypes, which result from the complex interplay between genes and the environment. Consequently, genes merely suggest the potential occurrence of a specific phenotype, but they cannot predict what will happen in reality. This task can be revealed by metabolomics, the most promising of the "omics sciences". Though metabolomics applied to CHD is still in its infant phase, it has already been applied to CHD prenatal diagnosis, as well as to predict outcomes after cardiac surgery. Particular metabolomic fingerprints have been identified for some of the specific CHD subtypes. The hallmarks of CHD-related pulmonary arterial hypertension have also been discovered. This review, which is presented in a narrative format, due to the heterogeneity of the selected papers, aims to provide the readers with a synopsis of the literature on metabolomics in the CHD setting.
