9780128016404 English 012801640X " Congenital Heart Disease and Neurodevelopment: Understanding and Improving Outcomes "brings together the work of leading researchers from the U.K., Europe, and the U.S. to provide a comprehensive examination of the causes, risks, and neurodevelopmental and psychological outcomes in children with congenital heart disease. The book includes longitudinal studies which have tracked outcomes from birth through late childhood and explores the emergent phenotype and etiologies, risk, and protective factors that strengthen proposed models. Medical and surgical advances have meant that greater numbers of children with even the most severe congenital heart disease (CHD) now survive well into adulthood. Studies over the past 20 years have suggested certain neurodevelopmental and psychological features are common, with clinical interventions being internationally articulated. The U.K. Belfast Center has developed and evaluated unique early intervention programs to circumvent the common problems discerned and promote optimal adjustment and outcomes. The first edition of "Congenital Heart Disease and Neurodevelopment: Understanding and Improving Outcomes "describes these programs in detail and outlines promising results obtained by researchers worldwide. Such interventions, together with the U.S. consensus statement (Circulation, 2012) on neurodevelopmental screening, hold great promise for clinical interventions. Features input from leading research experts in the fieldDescribes cutting-edge research on longitudinal studies that link neurodevelopmental phenotypes with cutting-edge neuroimaging studiesDiscusses the first series of early intervention studies developed in Belfast targeted at key developmental transitions birth and diagnosis, early childhood, and adolescenceIncludes clinical implications and action points in each sectionFeatures generalizable potential of interventions across other pediatric populations", Medical and surgical advances have meant that greater numbers of children with even the most severe congenital heart disease (CHD) now survive well into adulthood. This essentially represents an emergent clinical population. Empirical studies over the past 20 years have suggested certain neurodevelopmental and psychological features are common, with a phenotype becoming clear and implications for clinical interventions being internationally articulated. This volume brings together the work of the leading researchers in this area from the U.K., Europe, and the U.S. These include longitudinal studies which have tracked neurodevelopmental and psychological outcomes from birth through to late childhood. In this book, the emergent phenotype will be explored and, importantly, etiologies, risk, and protective factors elucidated using longitudinal designs that strengthen proposed models. Uniquely, the U.K. Belfast Center has developed and evaluated early intervention programmes to circumvent the common problems discerned and promote optimal adjustment and outcomes. The first edition of Neurodevelopmental and Psychological Phenotypes in Children with Congenital Heart Disease describes these programs in detail and outlines promising results obtained by researchers worldwide. Such interventions, together with the U.S. consensus statement ( Circulation , 2012) on neurodevelopmental screening, will be considered as models of good clinical interventions for this population. * Written by the leading research experts in the field - U.K., U.S. and Europe. * Derived from cutting-edge research in the area conducted by the authors, who have led longitudinal studies that have strengthened findings and model credibility. * Describes leading research from Boston that link neurodevelopmental phenotypes with cutting edge neuroimaging studies. * Discusses the first series of early intervention studies developed in Belfast targeted at key developmental transitions - birth/diagnosis, early childhood and adolescence originally * Each section features clinical implications and action points. * Generalizable potential of interventions across other pediatric populations.
