European Collaboration for Prospective Outcome Research in Congenital Heart Disease (EPOCH)

EPOCH is an international multicenter registry embedded in the SACHER network, designed to evaluate long-term outcomes in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD): www.sacher-registry.com/epoch.

I serve as a Co-Investigator for the EPOCH-ASO subproject, which focuses on the prospective follow-up of patients after an arterial switch operation (ASO). This subproject is ongoing and coordinated in Switzerland by Prof. Daniel Tobler, Prof. Matthias Greutmann, and myself.

In addition to EPOCH-ASO, the EPOCH collaboration previously included the COVID-19 ACHD Tracker, which investigated outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in ACHD patients. The findings were published in International Journal of Cardiology (PMID: 33685931).
