Interventricular septal hematoma is a rare and life-threatening complication of pediatric cardiac surgery. Commonly seen following ventricular septal defect repair, it has also been associated with ventricular assist device (VAD) placement. Although conservative management is usually successful, operative drainage of interventricular septal hematoma occurring in pediatric patients undergoing VAD implantation should be considered.

Objective: To describe national patterns in the screening, diagnosis, and clinical management of bronchopulmonary dysplasia-associated pulmonary hypertension (BPD-PH) in Spanish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and assess the need for standardized screening and management protocols and unified follow-up strategies.
Methods: A 20-question electronic survey was distributed to all Level III NICUs in the Spanish public health system to evaluate practices in BPD-PH screening, diagnosis, and clinical management. Results were analyzed globally and by NICU level (IIIB vs.

Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with significant maternal and fetal complications, including potential effects on fetal cardiac development. This study aimed to evaluate structural and functional cardiac changes in fetuses of mothers with GDM using fetal echocardiography and to compare them with those of healthy pregnancies. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate functional cardiac changes, specifically interventricular septum (IVS) thickness and posterior wall thickness, E/A ratio (ratio of early (E) to late (A) diastolic mitral inflow velocities), and fractional shortening, in fetuses of mothers with GDM.
