KIDSHEART AND BRAIN : Early EEG Surgery Congenital Heart Disease Predict Onset of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (KHB)

April 21, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Lille

Intérêt de l'électroencéphalogramme précoce en Chirurgie de Cardiopathie congénitale Pour prédire la Survenue de Troubles du neurodéveloppement

Congenital cardiopathy are frequent malformations (1/100 birth). The progress of surgery permit a survival rate at the adult age of more than 90%. The long terms consequences must be taken in account and the nerodevelopmental disorders are in first place (intelectual deficiency, autism spectrum disorders, or attention disorders) and presents in 30 to 60% of the patients (Calmant, 2015). The impact can be important on the scolarity, the studies, the professional activity and finaly on the quality of life of the patients becomming adults.

The identification of the risk factors on surgery period should permit to propose the most adapted follow-up to the specifics needs of each patients.

On the scientific plans, the identification of early markers on brain dammage on EEG should permit to better apprehend the physiopathologic mecanisms involved.
