Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries commonly experience a significant rate of major cardiac events in their fifties and sixties.
Illustrates the clinical trajectories and potential impact of personalized care on major cardiac events in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
Sankey diagram illustrates the contemporary clinical trajectories of patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. Boxes on the left represent risk factors that require focused care, while those on the right suggest personalized care, which may improve the clinical trajectory. Patients commonly experience a significant rate of major cardiac events in their fifties and sixties. The Sankey diagram employs the height of the boxes and the thickness of the stripes to depict the proportional number of patients transitioning into and out of specific clusters of cardiac complications. Extrapolating from the available data of the study by van Dissel et al.,1 patients were assigned to the cluster that they were most likely to belong to in order to investigate the most probable trajectories. AI, artificial intelligence; CPET, cardiopulmonary exercise test; CV, cardiovascular; ECG, electrocardiography; HF, heart failure; HTx, heart transplantation; MAREs, major adverse ventricular arrhythmias and related events; MCS, mechanical circulatory support; NT-proBNP, N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide; RVEF, right ventricular ejection fraction; SRV, systemic right ventricle; TR, tricuspid regurgitation; TVR, tricuspid valve replacement.
