Functional network organization is locally atypical in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease.
medRxiv 2024 April 21
Children and adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) frequently experience neurodevelopmental impairments that can impact academic performance, memory, attention, and behavioral function, ultimately affecting overall quality of life. This study aims to investigate the impact of CHD on functional brain network connectivity and cognitive function. Using resting-state fMRI data, we examined several network metrics across various brain regions utilizing weighted networks and binarized networks with both absolute and proportional thresholds. Regression models were fitted to patient neurocognitive exam scores using various metrics obtained from all three methods. Our results unveil significant differences in network connectivity patterns, particularly in temporal, occipital, and subcortical regions, across both weighted and binarized networks. Furthermore, we identified distinct correlations between network metrics and cognitive performance, suggesting potential compensatory mechanisms within specific brain regions.
