Children were relatively spared during COVID-19 pandemic. However, the recently reported hyperinflammatory syndrome with overlapping features of Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome-"Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome-temporally associated SARS-CoV-2" (PIMS-TS) has caused concern. We describe cardiac findings short-term outcomes in children PIMS-TS at a tertiary children's hospital. Single-center observational study from 10th April to 9th May 2020. Data on ECG echocardiogram...
COVID-19 has caused significant worldwide morbidity and mortality. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is likely to increase vulnerability understanding the predictors of adverse outcomes key optimising care.
There is limited data on the organisation of paediatric echocardiography laboratories in Europe. A structured and approved questionnaire was circulated across all 95 Association for European Paediatric Congenital Cardiology affiliated centres. The aims were to evaluate: (1) facilities Europe, (2) accredited laboratories, (3) medical/paramedical staff employed, (4) time echocardiographic studies reporting, (5) training, teaching, quality improvement, research programs. Respondents from...
Lymphatic disorders such as protein-losing enteropathy, plastic bronchitis, and chylothorax are important complications of the Fontan circulation ultimately result in an increased risk early death. Several European centers now performing lymphatic procedures. The aim this study is to map extent these treatments provided across pediatric cardiology centers.
<h3>Background</h3> Primary cardiac tumours are rare with an incidence of around 1 in 5000,<sup>1</sup> literature showing that the majority benign rhabdomyomas and present under year age.<sup>2</sup> The most common co-morbidity is Tuberous Sclerosis (TS). <h3>Aim</h3> We our experience at a single tertiary centre over 25 years, looking presentation outcomes. <h3>Method</h3> A retrospective review all patients <16 years primary tumour between 1990–2015. 15 were excluded (non-cardiac...
<h3>Background</h3> Coarctation of the aorta accounts for 8–10% all congenital heart disease, and generally tends to present in two peaks; newborn infants with congestive failure or older children hypertension.<sup>1,2</sup> We report an uncommon case late presentation coarctation initial normal echocardiogram. <h3>History</h3> A 15 year old girl was admitted her DGH episodes dizziness palpitations worsening over previous 3 months. She hypertensive above 99th centile on admission no blood...
<h3>Aims</h3> We aimed to assess the impact of a Paediatrician with Cardiology Expertise (PEC) on ambulatory ECG requests at large University Teaching Hospital. <h3>Methods</h3> conducted retrospective study comparing before and after appointment PEC (November 2013–October 2014 versus November 2014–October 2015). analysed data for a) number requests, b) clinical indication, c) referral source, d) result monitoring. Patients underlying congenital heart defects or known arrhythmias were...
Long term use of tacrolimus in solid organ transplantation and recurrent fluid, electrolyte balance may be associated with cardiac dysfunction long term. Aim: To assess follow-up intestinal (ITx) Methods: Retrospective review all patients who have had small bowel echocardiograms from Apr 93-Mar 20. Patients did not congenital heart disease (CHD) survived for more than 2 years two clinical outcome data were included the study. Echocardiogram was compared pre-transplant most recent scan to any...
Tissue Doppler Imaging and Speckle Tracking Echocardiography are newer echo-cardiographic modalities, that assess myocardial valvular function in congenital acquired heart diseases childhood. In addition, cross-sectional imaging including Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Computed Tomography has been widely used over the last decade paediatric cardiology, order to evaluate intra-cardiac extra-cardiac anatomy. particularly allows detailed analysis of function, shunt quantification applications...
