The ability to identify and ablate different arrhythmia mechanisms after the total cavopulmonary connection has not been studied in detail.After obtaining Institutional Review Board approval according institutional guidelines, consecutive patients a undergoing electrophysiology study over 6-year period were included (2006-2012). Arrhythmia mechanism was determined, procedural outcome defined as complete, partial success, or failure. A 12-point severity score calculated for each patient at...
Introduction An increasing number of patients with congenital heart disease are now surviving into adulthood. This has also led to the emergence complications from underlying disease, related surgical interventions, and associated combordities. While prevalence particular arrhythmias specific been previously described, a detailed analysis all lesions large comorbidities not published. Methods Admissions were identified in National Inpatient Sample. Associated for these patients. Univariate...
Interpretation of pediatric ECGs is limited by lack accurate sex- and race-specific normal reference values obtained with modern technology for all ages. We sought to obtain contemporary digital ECG measurements in healthy children from North America, evaluate the effects sex race, compare our results commonly used published datasets.Digital (12-lead) were retrospectively collected ≤18 years old echocardiograms at 19 centers Pediatric Heart Network. Patients classified into 36 groups: 6 age,...
Abstract Introduction: Cardiac rehabilitation programmes for paediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) have been shown to promote emotional and physical health without any associated adverse events. While prior studies demonstrated the effectiveness of these types interventions, there has limited research into how inclusion psychological interventions as part programme impacts parent-reported patient-reported quality life. Materials methods: Patients between ages 7 24 years CHD...
Abstract Antiepileptic medications have been reported to cause disturbances in cardiac conduction. Lacosamide decreases seizure burden by modulating sodium channels. Although it has demonstrated few side effects, there reports of clinically significant conduction disturbances. We report the case a child with hypoplastic left-heart syndrome and well-controlled multifocal atrial tachycardia who developed haemodynamically after receiving two doses lacosamide.
Abstract Background: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing has been used to measure functional capacity in children who have undergone a heart transplant. results not compared between transplanted for primary diagnosis of CHD and those with cardiomyopathy despite differences outcomes. This study is aimed compare cardiopulmonary performance these two groups. Methods: Patients underwent transplant subsequent at least 6 months after our institution were identified. They then divided into groups...
Contact force (CF) catheters provide feedback confirming adequate tissue contact for optimal lesion size and minimal complications. CF ablation have resulted in decreased procedure times improved outcomes of atrial fibrillation adults. There is limited data evaluating use accessory pathway (AP) or pediatric patients. The aim our study was to compare a cohort who underwent AP with catheter historical controls, differences times, number lesions, outcomes.A retrospective chart review cases at...
Epoprostenol is a potent arterial vasodilator, and its administration by inhalation localizes effects to the pulmonary circulation. In this case report, we describe 3-month-old male patient with significant refractory hypertension after artery banding placement of Blalock–Taussig shunt. This continued have hypoxic episodes despite maximal therapy sedation, alkalinization, sildenafil, inhaled nitric oxide. After addition epoprostenol, improvements in both clinical response...
Objectives: Opioids are routinely used in the PICU. Methadone is an effective method of preventing and treating iatrogenic opioid withdrawal; however, it carries Food Drug Administration Boxed Warning due to potential prolong corrected QT interval potentially lead life-threatening arrhythmias. Guidelines on safe use methadone have limited applicability children since their cardiac intervals differ from those adults. There little data electrophysiologic effects pediatric population. We set...
