Listening to #CHD episode with a massive romantasy author. It is gratifying her use of the word ‘like’ is on par with mine.
How much can a #HealthyLifestyle influence #CHD risk? In a Dutch cohort, a healthy #PlantBasedDiet + non-smoking, moderate #PhysicalActivity & moderate sleep duration was associated with reduced risk of CHD, with the largest gains in those with the highest #GeneticRisk
Nachdem wir von 10 bis 14 Uhr auf ein Zimmer gewartet haben, 16:30 Uhr dann alle Voruntersuchungen durch waren, schläft K2 nun endlich. Auf's Aufklärungsgespräch warte ich immer noch 😵💫

💕 Advocacy often carries a mother’s voice, but let’s not forget the fathers—the quiet anchors.
Watching my daughter fight through open-heart surgery with half a heart taught me never to give up. She went through hell and prevailed. It was worth every second.

A therapist’s profound journey from congenital heart surgery to a #neardeathexperience, exploring the healing power of silence and storytelling. Listen to our #BigBlendRadio conversation with author Sally Dukes: youtu.be/BPSotpgTzjg?... #NDE #Memoir #CHD
As I'm among the very first to survive into adulthood with my particular #CHD, no doctor I've ever spoken to has been able to say anything about my life expectancy with the repairs that I've had.
The best I've ever got was "We don't know, we'll see how old you get and then we'll tell the next guy!"

Infographic with pink and red circles containing CHD facts, arranged in the shape of a heart from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Facts include: 1% of newborns are born with a chd every year. A baby's risk of having a chd is at least 3x more likely if their parent has a chd. 15-20% of chds are related to genetic conditions. CHD treatment helps kids live into adulthood. About 1 in 4 babies with a CHD have a critical chd. Infants with critical chds generally need surgery or other procedures in their first year of life.

Atticus started my research journey & countless other stories like his have helped to sustain it. Thank you to the incredible #chd community for sharing your stories & pushing us all to continue to fight for answers! You remind us why we do what we do. 🫶
Photo collage of my nephew with hlhs from a baby to his early teenage years.
Thanks to countless teams of medical professionals at the Medical University of South Carolina, my nephew Atticus, survived 4 open heart surgeries and is alive today at 18.
Witnessing his struggles when he was just a few days old inspired me to pursue a #CHD research career.
Illustration of two hearts. On the left is a normal heart with a 4 chamber view showing normal sized outflow tract and ventricles. On the right is a hlhs heart showing a very small left ventricle, mitral valve atresia, and a small aorta.
In honor of world #CHD awareness day, I want to share my family story about a CHD called #hlhs. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a rare (1 in 3800) condition where a baby has a small left ventricle.
Nobody knows what causes hlhs but it accounts for 23% of cardiac deaths in the 1st wk of life. 🧪🫀

In #JACC, diet quality was more strongly associated w/ #CHD risk than macronutrient quantity.
High-quality low-carb & low-fat patterns were linked to lower risk, while versions high in refined carbs & animal products were associated w/ higher CHD risk. https://bit.ly/4qrwFhj #HFWeek2026 #CardioSky
Figure 1. Association Between Childhood and Young Adult Overweight and the Risk of Coronary Heart Disease Events. Two graphs, A) Base model and B) Adjusted model, showing HR (95% CI) on Y axis and Cohort on X axis for men, women and full cohort.
In Swedish men and women born between 1945 and 1968, remission of childhood #overweight before young adulthood resulted in normalized adult #CHD risk, highlighting the importance of early intervention and prevention. ja.ma/4tso40y

A baby's heart starts forming before most know they're pregnant. Did you know key maternal health factors in those first 8 weeks can influence the risk of congenital heart defects?

Illustration showing a patched VSD
The good news is even though #VSD are the most common #CHD, patients usually have a good prognosis.
So how do we fix a #VSD? If they are small enough, they can close on their own. However, larger VSDs usually require surgery. Depending on the situation, it can sometimes be handled via catheter.
Illustration looking into the right ventricle showing the types of VSDs. the list includes: AV canal type VSD, conal septal VSD, conoventricular VSD & Muscular VSD, subdivided into anterior, midmuscular, posterior, and paical.
#VSDs can be small or they can be large & can occur alone or as part of more complex #CHD. They happen in different parts of the septum & causes can range from maternal illness, medication, and/or genetics. Many times the cause is just unknown.

For #CHD awareness this week I want to highlight several types of 🫀 defects & some of what we know about them. 🧪
First up are ventricular septal defects, #VSDs. A VSD is a hole in the heart between the left and right ventricles. That's bad because it allows mixing of blood & that means less oxygen.
