Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to enhance the scope of neonatal congenital heart disease (CHD) screening by evaluating the effectiveness of training personnel in CHD screening using the "dual-index" method, combining pulse oximetry with cardiac murmur auscultation.
Methods: From 2019 to 2022, a total of 2374 screening personnel from the Xinjiang, Yunnan, Hainan, Fujian, and Anhui provinces underwent training in neonatal CHD screening using the "dual-index" method, which involves pulse oximetry and cardiac murmur auscultation. Pre- and post-training assessments were conducted using a neonatal CHD screening knowledge questionnaire, distributed through the Questionnaire Star platform, to evaluate the impact of the training. The annual neonatal CHD screening rates were consistently recorded in these five provinces during the same period to assess the increase in screening coverage.
Results: After the training, the screening personnel exhibited a significantly improved understanding of the neonatal CHD screening method ( < 0.001). Additionally, the professional background ( = -8.007, < 0.001) and years of experience ( = 2.839, = 0.005) of the screening personnel were identified as independent factors influencing their screening knowledge. During the same period, there was consistent linear growth in the screening coverage rate for neonatal CHD across the five provinces ( = 121065.416, < 0.001).
Conclusion: Standardized training in the "dual-index" method, incorporating pulse oximetry and cardiac murmur auscultation, for screening personnel significantly enhances their screening knowledge, thereby playing a critical role in expanding the coverage of neonatal CHD screening.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect, impacting about 1% of live births worldwide. Echocardiography, the gold-standard diagnostic method, is costly and inaccessible in low-resource settings. Diagnosis is delayed due to limited skilled experts, whose ability to interpret pathological patterns varies significantly, causing inter- and intra-clinician variability.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Acute cardiovascular events frequently occur in patients with coronary artery stenoses exceeding 70%. Although coronary revascularization can significantly improve ischemic symptoms, the inflection point for reducing mortality from CHD has yet to be reached.

Rationale: Tracheomalacia, typically seen in relapsing polychondritis,[1] is rarely reported in association with congenital heart disease (CHD). In patients with pulmonary hypoperfusion-type CHD, surgical repair results in a rapid increase in pulmonary blood flow, predisposing them to mucus retention, airway obstruction, and respiratory distress. We describe acute airway collapse in a patient with double outlet right ventricle and congenital bronchial stenosis following cardiac repair.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning radiomics (DLR) nomogram for individualized CHD risk assessment in the COPD population.
Methods: This retrospective study included 543 COPD patients from two different centers. Comprehensive clinical and imaging data were collected for all participants.
