N1 - Funding Information: Cardiology trainees should have basic skills in the ability to conduct cardiopulmonary resuscitation per established guidelines. Pediatric cardiology fellows should acquire the following: ▪ Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification (or accepted alternative training, e.g., Fundamental Critical Care Support sponsored by the Society of Critical Care Medicine). ▪ Understanding of the specific clinical situations in which modifications of the PALS guidelines should be employed (e.g., avoidance of administration of high concentrations of supplemental O 2 to the preoperative newborn with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and underlying pulmonary overcirculation). ▪ Ability to provide initial stabilization of the hemodynamically compromised patient with congenital heart disease, including neonates and young infants. Mechanical circulatory support of the failing myocardium has evolved from the predominant use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) to include ventricular assist devices (VADs) to support either the failing left ventricle (LVAD), right ventricle (RVAD), or both ventricles (BiVAD). These support techniques can be used to recover patients with congenital heart disease after cardiac surgery (typically VA ECMO), as a “bridge” to cardiac transplantation (typically VADs), or more recently, as “destination therapy” in patients who are determined not to be eligible for cardiac transplantation (5–7) . Although not all pediatric cardiology fellowship training programs offer clinical exposure to advanced heart failure patients who are treated with mechanical support or cardiac transplantation, the trainee should be familiar with, and capable of, conversing about both mechanical circulatory support and cardiac transplantation. For a more detailed discussion of the competencies required in heart failure and transplantation, the reader is referred to Task Force 7: Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Training in Pulmonary Hypertension, Advanced Heart Failure, and Transplantation. 4
