Aim: To summarize our experience on the implementation of a telemedicine service dedicated to adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients during the lockdown for the first wave of COVID-19.Methods: This is a prospective study enrolling all ACHD patients who answered a questionnaire dedicated telematic cardiovascular examination.Results: A total of 289 patients were enrolled, 133 (47%) were male, 25 (9%) were affected by a genetic syndrome.

Objective: Acute low cardiac output (CO) is a frequent scenario in pediatric cardiac intensive care units (PCICU). While fluid responsiveness has been studied extensively, literature is scarce for the immediate postoperative congenital heart surgery population admitted to PCICUs. This study analyzed the utility of hemodynamic, bedside ultrasound and Doppler parameters for prediction of fluid responsiveness in infants and neonates in the immediate postoperative cardiac surgery period.

Objectives: The determinants leading to different renal outcomes in community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) and the influence of renal histological damage on the prognosis and recovery of CA-AKI are scarcely reported.Methods: Adult patients with CA-AKI admitted to Shanghai Changzheng Hospital with renal biopsy profiles from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2018, were enrolled in our cohort. After 3 months of follow-up, clinical outcomes, including patient survival, dialysis requirement during hospitalization and at 3 months, CKD stage 3-5, and renal functional recovery at 3 months, were analyzed, and risk factors were identified.

Objectives: Currently there is no validated method to predict renal reversal and recovery after acute kidney injury (AKI). As exosomes have the potential for AKI prognosis and CD26 is involved in the mechanisms in AKI, this study aims to investigate whether urinary exosomal CD26 is associated with renal-related outcomes and explore its prospect as a novel prognosis biomarker.Methods: This was a single-center, prospective cohort study.
