Rationale
– Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have increased cardiovascular risk (CV)
– Cardiometabolic risk factors are infrequently evaluated in children with CHD
– Implementation gap between guidelines and actual practice
Aims
– Define prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in children with CHD within PEDSnet
– Compare screening & management practices for cardiometabolic risk factors
– Identify barriers and facilitators to following evidence-based care
Impact
– Address the implementation gap to improve CV health in children with CHD
