Lyrics

[Verse 1]
After Truncus repair, the watch begins
Echo chambers tracking how the heart now wins
First two years demand our vigilant eye
Every three to six months, rhythms we spy
Conduit gradients, valve function's dance
Ventricular power, PA's advance

[Chorus]
Serial surveillance, the lifelong song
Three to six monthly when they're still young
Annual echoes once they turn two
Cath when indicated, MRI too
Exercise testing, Holter's embrace
Monitoring heartbeats, keeping the pace

[Verse 2]
Catheterization steps in when we need
Hemodynamic truth and intervention's deed
Around age five, MRI reveals the scene
RV volumes crystal clear, regurgitation seen
Quantifying leakage through the conduit wall
Precise measurements answering the call

[Chorus]
Serial surveillance, the lifelong song
Three to six monthly when they're still young
Annual echoes once they turn two
Cath when indicated, MRI too
Exercise testing, Holter's embrace
Monitoring heartbeats, keeping the pace

[Bridge]
Ventriculotomy scars whisper danger
Arrhythmias lurking like a midnight stranger
Holter monitors catch the silent threats
Annual screening, safety nets
Exercise tolerance tells the tale
When young hearts either soar or fail

[Verse 3]
Age appropriate testing maps the course
Functional capacity, arrhythmic force
Twenty-four hour recordings never lie
Detecting rhythms that could signify
The operated heart needs constant care
Surveillance schedules always aware

[Chorus]
Serial surveillance, the lifelong song
Three to six monthly when they're still young
Annual echoes once they turn two
Cath when indicated, MRI too
Exercise testing, Holter's embrace
Monitoring heartbeats, keeping the pace

[Outro]
From infancy through the growing years
Watching, waiting, calming fears
Three schedules merged in harmony
Protecting cardiac destiny
