    Abstract Heart failure (HF) is common in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), and it is the leading cause of death in this population. Adults with CHD presenting with stage D HF have a poor prognosis, and early recognition of signs of advanced HF and referral for advanced therapies for HF offer the best survival as compared with other therapies. The indications for advanced therapies for HF outlined in this article should serve as a guide for clinicians to determine the optimal time for referral. Palliative care should be part of the multidisciplinary care model for HF in patients with CHD.

    Abstract Background: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, but there are limited data to guide risk stratification in this population. The purpose of this study was to assess the role right atrial (RA) strain indices for prognostication in this population.
    Methods: This is a retrospective study of adults (aged ≥18 years) with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and biventricular repair who underwent echocardiogram (2003-2019). RA reservoir strain was used as the primary metric of RA function, and RA dysfunction was defined as RA reservoir strain <31%. Clinical outcomes were assessed using 4 different indices: (1) functional impairment (New York Heart Association II-IV); (2) hepatorenal dysfunction (model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalized ratio score >11); (3) incident atrial arrhythmias/heart failure hospitalization; (4) heart transplant/cardiovascular death.
    Results: Of the 43 patients in the study, RA strain imaging was feasible in 95%, and RA dysfunction was present in 95%. Of the 43 patients, 67% and 49% had functional impairment and hepatorenal dysfunction, respectively; 44% developed incident atrial arrhythmia/heart failure hospitalization and 14% died during follow-up. RA reservoir strain was independently associated with all indices of clinical outcomes.
    Conclusion: Collectively, these data suggest that RA strain imaging was feasible in almost all patients and can be used for risk stratification in this population. There was a high prevalence of comorbidities including hepatorenal dysfunction. Further studies are needed to determine the prognostic implications of hepatorenal dysfunction (a previously unrecognized complication), and whether using RA function indices for clinical decision making will lead to improved outcomes in this population.

    Abstract Background: Right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension are associated with mortality in adults with coarctation of aorta (COA). The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/RV systolic pressure (TAPSE/RVSP) ratio is a validated noninvasive tool for the assessment of RV-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) coupling in patients with PA hypertension, but similar data are lacking in adults with COA. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the TAPSE/RVSP ratio and outcomes in this population.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study of adults with repaired COA was performed. RV systolic dysfunction was defined as RV free wall strain ≥-24% at baseline, whereas new-onset RV systolic dysfunction was defined RV free wall strain ≥-24% during follow-up.
    Results: Of 661 patients, TAPSE, RVSP, and TAPSE/pulmonary artery systolic pressure ratio were 22 ± 6 mm, 34 ± 12 mm Hg, and 0.71 (0.48-0.89) mm/mm Hg, respectively. Of 661 patients, 152 (23%) had RV systolic dysfunction at baseline, and TAPSE/RVSP <0.43 mm/mm Hg was the optimal threshold to detect RV systolic dysfunction. TAPSE/RVSP <0.43 mm Hg was associated with RV systolic dysfunction (adjusted odds ratio: 3.11 [1.83-6.19],
    Conclusions: The TAPSE/RVSP ratio can potentially be used to identify patients at risk for new-onset RV systolic dysfunction and right heart failure and provide opportunity for proactive interventions to prevent adverse outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Although patients with coarctation of aorta (COA) have clinical risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF), there are limited data about AF prevalence, and role of left atrial (LA) indices for risk stratification in this population. We hypothesized that LA indices (LA reservoir strain and LA volume index) were associated with AF, and would identify patients at risk for AF progression.
    Methods: We analyzed electrocardiograms/Holters, and echocardiograms of adult COA patients at Mayo Clinic (2000-2018).
    Results: Of 776 patients, 726(94 %), 46(5.9 %) and 4(0.5 %) had no history of AF, paroxysmal AF, and persistent AF respectively; yielding AF prevalence of 6.4 %. LA reservoir strain (AUC 0.782 [0.751-0.808]) had more robust association with AF as compared to LA volume index (AUC difference -0.115, p < 0.001).Among 726 patients without prior AF, 25(3.4 %) had new-onset AF during follow-up. LA reservoir strain <25 % and LA volume index >34 ml/m
    Conclusions: Collectively, these data suggest that LA strain can potentially be used for AF risk stratification. Further studies are required to determine whether LA strain can proactively identify patients that will respond favorably to different antiarrhythmic therapies, and whether interventions to reduce LV pressure overload will improve LA function and reduce AF progression.
