Adherence to palivizumab prophylaxis programmes is crucial protect infants with CHD against respiratory syncytial virus infections. We analysed the effectiveness of two nudge interventions in increasing adherence. Our study included 229 infants, and their caregivers, from five centers Turkey 2020-2021 season. randomly allocated caregivers a control intervention groups. Caregivers all groups were informed about programme provided schedule. Additionally, Intervention 1 called days before...
Abstract Background Children who experience chest discomfort, palpitations, vasovagal syncope, and underlying heart disease often present a complex clinical picture. Not only are they dealing with potential cardiac issues, but may also exhibit behavioral problems that can complicate the diagnostic treatment process. Moreover, parental acceptance or rejection significantly influence child’s well-being medical outcomes in such cases. This study aims to explore comorbidity of...
This study evaluated cardiac function using tissue Doppler echocardiography and assessed electrocardiographic findings in children diagnosed with Wilson's disease.Asymptomatic patients a diagnosis of disease (n = 43) were compared to healthy controls 37) that age gender matched.The standard conventional echocardiographic examinations similar both groups. The left ventricular ejection fraction, shortening diastolic not significantly different between the two Tei index for mitral lateral,...
Introduction Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) is an effective procedure for the treatment of inherited channelopathies. Left CSD has traditionally been recommended as neuromodulation to prevent arrhythmia episodes; however, it thought that bilateral sympathectomy in combination with Kuntz ablation may have additional effects due anatomical variability preganglionic fibers. The aim study was share our single-center clinical experience thoracoscopic cardiac different groups pediatric...
<title>Abstract</title> Backgrounds and Aims : This study aims to assess the epidemiology, clinical presentation, management, outcomes of pediatric Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, as well incidence life-threatening events (LTE) in South Wales. Methods retrospective review patients (< 17 years old) diagnosed with WPW syndrome between 1986 2019 Results The population consisted 160 patients, whom 86 (54%) were male. prevalence was 0.028%. Thirty percent cases during infancy, while 63%...
Vasospastic angina is extremely uncommon for adolescents to experience chest discomfort, which defined by transitory ST segment elevation or depression and symptoms that occur while at rest. It may result in potentially fatal conditions like myocardial infarction, ventricular fibrillation, even sudden cardiac arrest. To aim of this article report a very rare case 17-year-old male Afghan refugee who was diagnosed with vasospastic after presenting pain, receiving calcium channel blocker...
Abstract Background: Lower respiratory tract infections caused by syncytial virus can be severe during infancy, which requires admission to the hospital. These may more especially in patients with congenital heart disease. Passive immunisation palivizumab, a monoclonal antibody, is recommended high-risk infants. We tried determine compliance rates, factors affecting compliance, and also other microorganisms responsible for lower after palivizumab prophylaxis these patients. Methods:...
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour usually has a benign course and is very rarely associated with the heart. It can have life-threatening consequences, depending on its position or presence of aggressive metastatic complications. A 3-month-old boy presented pericardial tamponade was diagnosed intrapericardial inflammatory Coronavirus OC43. large attached to left ventricle completely removed by surgical resection he made full recovery.
Abstract Aim In this study, it is aimed to analyze the data of children who were referred our clinic for pre-participation sports screening. Methods Data, between September 2017 and December 2021, had been analyzed. All these subjects questioned their personal family medical stories examined cardiovascular system findings. Electrocardiography (ECG) echocardiography applied all them. Results 11487 consulted cardiology pre-sports participation The mean age was 12.7±4,57 (7–18 years)....
Abstract Anomalous single coronary artery from pulmonary is a very rare congenital heart anomaly. has high mortality rates and poor surgical outcome despite advanced techniques. We report 4-month-old infant presented by congestive failure findings diagnosed with anomalous trunk arteries arising right artery.
Abstract Background and objectives: Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare cyanotic CHD that requires surgical repair. An unligated vertical vein after total surgery may help to decrease the episodes of post-operative hypertensive crises, low cardiac output syndrome, mortality. The aim was assess long-term outcome our transcatheter closure experiences in five patients with repaired patients. Methods: A retrospective study conducted cases an following repair supra-cardiac at...
Abstract Acute coronary syndrome is a cause of cardiac-induced chest pain and rarely seen among childhood. It should be kept in mind patients presenting with typical history CHD and/or surgery, as this will lead to life-threatening complications death. We present an adolescent Bentall operation who had acute owing thrombosis result inappropriate drug use.
Abstract Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome is a genetic anomaly characterised by craniofacial dysmorphia, developmental retardation, skin lesions, mental retardation/learning disability, and cardiac malformations. rarely causes arrhythmias has not been previously associated with long QT in the literature. With this report, it was aimed to draw attention different presentation of syndrome.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and efficiency 'figure-of-eight' suture among children young adults with congenital heart defects who underwent interventional procedures, in patients structurally normal hearts electrophysiological haemodynamically impaired newborns. We also reported a novel femoral haemostasis method central catheter by modifying around for haemorrhage control.Between 2015 2018, total 100 sutures were performed 90 (48 males, 42 females) where median age 12.5...
An increase in red blood cells production as a result of serum erythropetin release characterizes secondary erythrocytosis, condition consequent to tissue hypoxia cyanotic heart disease (Rose SS et al., J Gen Intern Med 2007; 22: 1775–1777, Thorne SA., Heart 1998; 79: 315–316). Higher viscosity may have negative consequences referred hyperviscosity symptoms. Hyperviscosity can manifest variety ways including mild neurologic symptoms headache, loss cognitive function, vision, paresthesia, and...
During the acute phase of rheumatic fever (ARF), cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders may occur.Standard electrocardiogram (ECG) be insufficient in cases possible paroxysmal rhythm or abnormalities.The aim this study is to evaluate benefits 24-hour Holter ECG on detecting these children with ARF.Two hundred ten patients who were diagnosed ARF during a four -year period, retrospectively analyzed.Demographic characteristics, clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic findings...
