The authors have followed up 26 children suffering from severe scoliosis associated with congenital heart disease up to the end of puberty. The curve was usually a very severe idiopathic scoliosis developing early and requring surgical treatment. Two types may be distinguished: I. Scoliosis without excessive surgical risk, in patients in whom the heart disease is not associated with cyanosis or where the heart condition has already been treated surgically and in which there are no clinical, radiological or electrical signs of cardiac failure. 2. Scoliosis with considerable surgical risk because of heart disease with cyanosis not treated surgically, or with signs of heart failure or pulmonary hypertension. In such cases, the surgical treatment of the scoliosis is likely to endanger life.

The purpose of this study was to determine if previously documented perfomances deficits of patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease are peculiar to centrallly mediated visual tasks or are also manifested on tests of other centrally mediated sensory functions such as hearing. A simple auditory reaction time test was, therefore, performed on 239 patients with congenital heart disease, 43 of whom were cyanotic. Results indicated that (a) there is no significant relationship between level of arterial oxygen saturation and auditory RT. (b) Auditory RT for the group as a whole declines until the mid-teens and then rises, a pattern at variance with that of normal subjects. (c) The audiroty RT of females was significantly higher, i.e., slower, than that of males.

This study examines personality self-ratings of 283 married men who had recently experienced a first myocardial infarction and who previously had been free from major disease. Similar data were collected from their "non-cardiac" wives. Results indicated that several traits often identified as descriptive of "coronary-prone" personality had high mean ratings in both husband and wife populations. In addition, factor analysis revealed a similar pattern of factors in each group. However, inspection of correlations showed for individual items, men with so-called "coronary-prone" personality traits did not generally have wives with these traits. Husbands and wives tended to agree regarding each other's personality self-ratings. Implications of these husband-wife data are discussed in regard to questions on the role of "coronary-prone" personality in heart disease.

In order to evaluate the difficulties of treatment of associated scoliosis and congenital heart disease (C.H.D.), 44 patients who have been treated between 1970 and 1988 were reviewed. The scoliosis was idiopathic in 30 cases, congenital in 11, neurologic in 3. There were 27 females and 17 males. Twenty one patients had a cyanotic C.H.D. (twelve tetralogies of Fallot). No relation was found between the side of the cardiac approach and the side of the thoracic curves. Three cases of right aortic arch with two left thoracic scolioses were noted. Associated anomalies were encountered in 60 p. 100 of cases. The analysis of old chest X-rays, revealed that the scoliosis was already present an average of 5 years before the first orthopaedic consultation. Eight patients had an orthopaedic treatment; in ten cases surgery was decided but not performed. Twenty six patients were operated. (22 posterior and six anterior procedures). The average angulation was 55 degrees pre-operatively, 30 degrees post-operatively and 40 degrees at a 40 months follow-up. In five cases a pseudarthrosis led to re-intervention. One patient died during a posterior procedure, an other post-operatively. Two patients had a severe complication (one heart arrest; one gaz-embolism) but recovered. The surgical prognosis can be evaluated on an original scale including different cardiac parameters, and the importance of the planned surgical procedure. Under a limited mark, no serious complications occurred. In conclusion, a closed collaboration between pediatricians and the orthopaedic team, should lead to more precocious screening of scoliosis in cardiologic children and before the orthopaedic procedure, to a more precise risk factors evaluation.

Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk of neuropsychological impairments, but few studies are available on the nonlinguistic neuropsychological abilities of children with CHD. We conducted neuropsychological evaluations using the NEPSY II on a cohort of 17 school-age Italian children with diagnoses of Class 1 CHD, no genetic or chromosomal abnormalities, and normal intelligence scores, and we compared them with 34 matched controls. Children with CHD in this study had undergone at least one cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass support. We found that children with CHD scored significantly lower than their matched controls on memory and learning domain tasks, and they displayed subtle attention/executive dysfunctions and deficits in sensorimotor skills.
