This week, at the Toronto International ACHD Rounds, Dr. Mertens will discuss new echo techniques to assess intracardiac flow dynamics, myocardial stiffness, and applications of AI in CHD. Join us live at meet.goto.com/511869973 #ACHD @TorontoACHD @SKHeartCentre @LucMertens8

Can we please recognize that Women's health in #ACHD is far more than pregnancy? There's a huge need for research and care (for women's health issues) across the #CHD lifespan that affects QOL!

After 50 years of follow up, patients who underwent ASD closure in childhood have: 🔹Same survival than the general population but, ▪️Less that 50% remain event-free (30% symptomatic arrhythmia) ▪️Dilated RV is seen in 45% of patients sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@TomGlenn_3 @Schuch_doc @melissacousino @wernovsky30362 Are there types of CHD where this isn’t the case?

Excited to share this work along with @Schuch_doc, @melissacousino and @wernovsky30362 Resiliency is real and can be fostered in our patients with CHD—there are several modifiable and non-modifiable factors that can impact resiliency and change our care for these patients

The FindACHD poster at the #8thWCPCCS in Washington, DC.

Thanks #8thWCPCCS for letting me share our ideas. Creating a safety net or providers - the people #ACHD meet through their life journey - will help keep patients in care. Collaboration is key.

FindACHD is excited to be presenting at the #8thWCPCCS2023 on Partnering for life-long care: #FindACHD - Aug 30. Should be fun!

Please join us this Wednesday (April 26) @ 10amEST to hear more about this largely misunderstood topic. It's a perfect opportunity for your professional or lived experience comments and insights. Pls register bit.ly/3KRyotB

Looking forward to the #WCPCCS2023 & connecting with @globalarchorg leaders. Also presenting @FindACHD and our ideas for improving care for people with #CHD. Better communication, education, & mental/physical supports. Should be fun! wcpccs2023.org/LDD34N?sms=7&c…

Wow, we're clearly onto something! Suggestions for improvement include better communication, more #CHD education, simplified info, mental health/support, support groups, better transition, improved access, etc. Let's make this happen ❤️ @CachNetwork pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36847768/

This is why it’s so important to start educating non-ACHD physicians about the special needs of these patients, to create a safety net of providers to help keep them in lifelong care. Transition programs only reach a small % of patients. The rest are lost to care.

It's #CHDawareness week What is congenital heart disease & why do we need to raise awareness? Follow @theBACCNA this week for more info on #CHD #ACHD

An excellent @TorontoACHD presentation by advanced NP @Sarah_R_Ellison about the gaps in #CHD care, her personal experience, and her work as a researcher in bridging those gaps using big data and awareness. This is what @FindACHD is all about. tinyurl.com/2mars9vc
