Northwest Adult Congenital Heart Disease Observatory
Congenital Heart DiseaseThe incidence of congenital heart disease is about 8 per thousand live births. Thanks to advances in cardiac surgery, 90% of children born with heart defects reach adolescence and adulthood. Congenital heart defects are the leading cause of heart disease in young adults and expectant mothers in Western countries. The number of patients increases continuously as life expectancy increases. An increasing number of patients with complex heart defects survive to adulthood. The medico-surgical management of this highly specialized growing number of patients is difficult and requires a multidisciplinary collaboration. In France, an estimated 200,000 patients the number of carrier patients with congenital heart disease. Half of them will require monitoring, medical procedures, catheterizations and/or surgical re-intervention. No objective demographic data are currently available on the French patients. So, the investigators decided to set up an epidemiological project to better understand this cohort of patients. The main objective of this project is to obtain accurate epidemiological data needed to adapt the supply of care.

Premature Coronary Heart DiseasePremature coronary heart disease (CHD) refers to the onset of myocardial infarction in men < 55 years old, women < 65 years old. At present, researches on early-onset coronary heart disease mostly focus on its risk factors and clinical characteristics, but there is no relevant research on the relationship between early-onset myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis.

Parametric Mapping in Paediatric Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Cardiac DiseasePediatric Disease2 moreMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly an important tool for diagnosis and management of cardiac diseases in children. One of the uses of MRI is tissue characterisation, in which the signal characteristics of the cardiac muscle (myocardium) can be determined with special techniques, known as parametric mapping. There is increasing evidence that parametric mapping may be able to identify regions of scarring in the myocardium, or detection of oedema/inflammation in the setting. This in turn can help predict disease course and add value to the management of patients. There is also evidence that other structures that are visualised in parametric mapping aside from the heart (e.g. liver and spleen) can also help improve diagnostic accuracy and guide management. Currently the majority of studies describing the use of parametric mapping is focused on adults, with limited data on its use in children. The parametric mapping values can also differ amongst different machines, so calibration with normal subjects are also required.

Central China Congenital Heart Disease Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Cohort Study
Pulmonary Arterial HypertensionThe study will recruit and follow up patients for five years patients newly diagnosed with congenital heart disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension(CHD-PAH) from the investigator's hospital. The main aim of the study is to describe the aetiology, natural history and management practices of CHD-PAH in central China.
Thyroid Functions in Children With Congenital Heart Diseases
Value of Thyroid Functions in Children With Congenital Heart DiseasesThyroid hormone is critical for normal neurocognitive development in young infants, and even transient hypothyroidism can cause adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. In a population of infants with CHD who already bear a high risk of long-term developmental delay, detection of hypothyroidism, even of a transient nature, may be even more consequential, and routine periodic monitoring of thyroid function may be necessary to reduce the risk of neurodevelopmental disabilities
