Background In this study, we reported our experience with the use of cardiac event recorders in pediatric patients. Methods We evaluated 583 patients fitted an recorder (15–30 days) between March 2010 and November 2014 at clinic. Excluded from study were 117 no recorded events six records contaminated by electrocardiogram artifacts. All received electrocardiograms, Holter monitoring, echocardiography before recording. Results The patient sample consisted 460 (64% female). mean age was 12.8 ±...

Abstract Univentricular heart is a rare congenital defect that consists, in nearly 80% of cases, double inlet left ventricle, to which both atrioventricular valves connect. A 31‐year‐old male patient was diagnosed with single ventricle at the age 9. He had not received any surgical intervention and on medication. Functional capacity assessed as New York Heart Association class III. Both were found open into morphological located right; hypoplasic right side posteriorly aorta emerged from...

Background: This study aimed to evaluate patients diagnosed with posterior transposition of the great arteries (TGA) in detail. Methods: retrospective included 192 (155 males, 37 females; mean age: 0.4±0.9 month; range, 0.1 6 month) TGA who were followed between August 1, 2016, and 2022. Patients ventriculoarterial discordance, normal vessel relationship, mitral-aortic continuity considered TGA. Demographic features, clinical findings, echocardiographic data, surgical results each patient...

This study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of children diagnosed with sinus node dysfunction. was a retrospective review patients dysfunction in two tertiary paediatric cardiology centres Turkey from January 2011 June 2022. In all, 77 (50, 64.9% males) were included, mean age 8.2 ± 6.3 years weight 28.2 18.8 kg. While age-incompatible bradycardia pauses most common rhythm disturbances, syncope, presyncope, dizziness (n:33, 43%) frequent initial symptoms. Structural...

Pediatric ventricular tachycardias (VTs) have heterogeneous etiology and different clinical features. This study aimed to evaluate the spectrum long-term course of pediatric sustained VTs.Patients diagnosed as having VT between 2010 2020 were evaluated retrospectively.A total 129 patients with evaluated; 74 male, median age was 12.5 years (0.25-18 years). Patients grouped idiopathic (IVT) [n=85 (65.9%)], cardiomyopathy-associated (CMP-VT) [n=24 (18.6%)], catecholaminergic polymorphic [n=17...

Costello syndrome is a rare characterized by failure to thrive, short stature, mental motor retardation, characteristic facial features, macrocephaly, neck, loose soft skin with deep palmar and plantar creases, hypertrichosis. Cardiac involvement seen in almost two thirds of patients, determinant for the prognosis syndrome. The most common cardiac anomalies are pulmonary stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, atrial septal defect, ventricular defect arrhytmia. In this report, we present...

What is known on this subject?Aortopulmonary window (APW) a rare congenital heart defect.Symptoms depend the size of defect and associated anomalies.Treatment primarily involves surgical repair, with transcatheter closure reserved for select cases. study adds?The highlights importance careful systematic investigation detection APW.

Abstract Objectives: In recent years, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has also started to be performed in the paediatric and CHD population. This study aimed evaluate efficacy of CRT children with CHD. Patients methods: who underwent treatment our cardiology clinic between January, 2010 2020 were included study. Demographic findings, 12-lead electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, clinical characteristics, management strategies, outcomes reviewed systematically. Results: The population...

A full-term 38-day-old female infant weighing 4 kg was admitted to our clinic with cardiac murmur. Oxygen saturation 85%. Physical examination revealed a 2/6 systolic murmur along the left sternal border. Transthoracic echocardiography d-transposition of great arteries. The two ventricles were balanced preserved ventricle function (LVEF = 70%). 2 mm ventricular septal defect, 6 secundum atrial and large patent ductus arteriosus detected. In addition, there peripheral pulmonary artery...
