INNOVATIONS IN CARDIAC CARE CAN SAVE AND IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN WORLDWIDE

1 in Every 120 Babies in the U.S. is born with Heart Disease

*February is Heart Health Awareness Month*

GUEST:

Jonathan Chen, MD, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery in the Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)

MORE ABOUT DR. JONATHAN CHEN:

Dr. Chen is the Chief of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and the Co-Director of the Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. His clinical research has primarily been directed toward surgical issues in complex congenital heart care and cardiac transplantation (focusing on advances with operative techniques, outcomes research and transplantation for congenital heart disease), with a particular emphasis on the development of mechanical ventricular assist devices for children, as well as stem-cell-based valved conduits for pediatric application.

The Cardiac Center at CHOP cares for babies prior to birth, infants, children, and young adults with congenital and acquired heart conditions.

The birth of a child is a joyous occasion for an entire family.  But for the families of the more than 40,000 American babies born each year with congenital heart disease (CHD), it also brings fear and uncertainty. There are multiple types of congenital heart disease and for those parents whose children do have a heart condition, they may not be fully aware of the various treatment options.

For example, cardiac catheterization is a procedure that can be used to both diagnose and treat many heart conditions. It is a highly specialized procedure that requires the expertise of a skilled and experienced team. In CHOP’s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, a team of dedicated specialists performs more than 1,400 cardiac catheterization procedures each year on newborns, infants, children, and young adults.

Did You Know?

  • 1 in 120 babies is born with heart disease each year in the US – that’s 40,000 babies every year.
  • Congenital heart disease is approximately 60 times more prevalent than childhood cancer.
  • About 25% of babies with CHD have a critical form and generally need intervention during their first year of life.
  • The Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia team performs more than 850 pediatric heart surgeries a year, including open heart and closed heart procedures and heart transplants.
  • Over 85% of babies born in the U.S. with CHD now live to at least age 18.

At least 3.4+ Million Live with Epilepsy in the U.S.2

National Neurology Expert Offers Immediate Steps to Mitigate Deadly Risks, Reduce

Related Healthcare Costs and Burden

GUEST:  Dr. James Wheless, Professor and Chief of Pediatric Neurology, Le Bonheur Chair in Pediatric Neurology, University of Tennessee Health Science Center

Background:

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain that is characterized by seizures.3 Seizures can be debilitating and even life threatening.4 Just one convulsive seizure is a potentially shattering event that increases the risk of significant health consequences, including physical injury and cognitive decline.5,6,7 Although epilepsy is widely recognized, few understand it – even those who know someone with the disorder.1 And this misunderstanding causes a stigma that makes it harder to treat,1 while the number of adults and children challenged by epilepsy in the U.S. is increasing.2

Freedom from seizures is the ultimate goal in epilepsy treatment.8 Yet missed doses are a common occurrence that can get in the way of achieving it. For most people with this condition, it’s a question of when, not if they will miss a dose of their medication. In fact, 71% of epilepsy patients surveyed have missed at least 1 dose.9 And, almost 50% report that a missed dose of medication was followed by a subsequent seizure.9 Poor seizure control means a higher likelihood of emergency room visits and greater healthcare costs.10 Yet many with epilepsy may be reluctant to discuss their struggles even with their doctor.11

Dr. James Wheless, Professor and Chief of Pediatric Neurology, Le Bonheur Chair in Pediatric Neurology, University of Tennessee Health Science Center will help educate your viewers about epilepsy, including the crucial role of individual lifestyle in treatment, and advances in epilepsy management that will help people living with epilepsy achieve seizure freedom.

More information can be found at www.epilapsey.com

More About Dr. James Wheless

Dr. Wheless is Professor and Chief of Pediatric Neurology and the Le Bonheur Chair in Pediatric Neurology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. He also serves as Director of the Neuroscience Institute and the Le Bonheur Comprehensive Epilepsy Program for the Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.

Dr. Wheless is a paid consultant on behalf of Eisai Inc.
