Update on Education for Families and Patients with Pediatric Heart Disease: A Focus on Technological Advancements, Procedures, and Transitions of Care
Education for pediatric heart disease (pedsHD) must be continuous, inclusive, and family-centered—beginning at diagnosis and extending through adolescence and transition to adult care.

Disappointed to see DBMI & VCLIC accounts, which supported research, events & collaboration, deactivated with no public explanation. I'm told it’s a “security” decision, but lack of transparency makes it hard to understand or support. I’ll keep sharing here-views my own, obviously. 🩺🖥️ #AcademicSky

While we don’t always know what the future holds for Charlie, but we’re so thankful for the surgeons, researchers, funding agencies, and donors who have made Charlie's amazing life possible!

Allison B. McCoy, PhD, ACHIP, FACMI, FAMIA @allisonbmccoy.phd · 07/02/2025
Medicine is constantly changing thanks to new research - just a few decades ago, these surgeries weren’t available, and babies with hearts like Charlie’s had no hope for the future like we do today.

Many individuals with single ventricle disease have made it into adulthood without a need for additional interventions past their Fontan, while others have required more procedures, or even heart transplants.

Allison B. McCoy, PhD, ACHIP, FACMI, FAMIA @allisonbmccoy.phd · 07/02/2025
Despite everything, Charlie is very typical (almost) 9 year old boy. He is in the 3rd grade with some amazing friends, he's active in ninja classes twice a week, and he aspires to be a professional video gamer.

Allison B. McCoy, PhD, ACHIP, FACMI, FAMIA @allisonbmccoy.phd · 07/02/2025
Charlie currently takes aspirin, tadalafil, and lisinopril, iron, and Vitamin D every day, but in the past, he has taken up to 6 different medications, 3-4x/day.

Allison B. McCoy, PhD, ACHIP, FACMI, FAMIA @allisonbmccoy.phd · 07/02/2025
Charlie has had 9 surgical procedures so far. He had his first surgery (BTT shunt), when he was 8 days old, the Glenn procedure when he was 6 months old, and the Fontan when he was 5 years old.

Allison B. McCoy, PhD, ACHIP, FACMI, FAMIA @allisonbmccoy.phd · 07/02/2025
In his 1st year of life, Charlie spent 43 nights in the hospital. He has been admitted 6 times, visited the ED 3 times, and had >100 clinic/therapy visits.

Allison B. McCoy, PhD, ACHIP, FACMI, FAMIA @allisonbmccoy.phd · 07/02/2025
Charlie's official diagnosis includes a double outlet right ventricle, d-transposition of the great arteries, hypoplastic left ventricle, mitral atresia, pulmonic and subpulmonic stenosis, and left superior vena cava. Essentially, he has half of a heart.

Allison B. McCoy, PhD, ACHIP, FACMI, FAMIA @allisonbmccoy.phd · 07/02/2025
On September 29, 2015 we went in for what we expected to be a normal anatomy scan for Charlie; we found out early that he was a boy, and all our previous screenings had come back low risk. To our surprise, Charlie was diagnosed with complex congenital heart disease.
