Background The overall severity of cardiac disease secondary to acute SARS-CoV-2 (severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) infection in children appears be much lower when compared with adults. However, the newly described multisystem inflammatory (MIS-C) associated coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has been complications. Methods We reviewed clinical course and testing results pediatric patients hospitalized MIS-C at 2 large hospital systems New York City metropolitan area over a 3-month...
Background Recent advances in hardware and software permit the use of cardiac MRI late gestation fetuses, however there is a paucity MRI‐based reference values. Purpose To provide initial data on fetal MRI‐derived dimensions, volumes, ventricular function, left longitudinal strain healthy developing fetuses >30 weeks gestational age. Study Type Prospective. Population Twenty‐five third trimester (34 ± 1 weeks, range 32–37 gestation) women with fetuses. Field Strength/Sequence Studies were...
Background. Lymphatic malformations or lymphangiomas are rare benign hamartomas that result from maldevelopment of primitive lymphatic sacs. They most frequently found in the neck and axilla, while intra-abdominal mediastinal uncommon. These primarily tumours infancy childhood successfully treated with surgical excision. Summary Cases. Five cases lymphangioma comprising three two unilateral axillary presenting at one institution Trinidad W.I. between 2005 2012 were examined. The...
We assessed the value of existing guidelines for evaluation suspected congenital heart disease (CHD) in term neonates and propose a revised algorithm. Retrospective chart review newborns referred cardiac at tertiary care center was performed. A total 777 qualified study. Among these, 3 critical 8 major CHD were identified. The sensitivity combination abnormal physical examination pulse oximetry screening 100%. cost to detect case CHD, based on echocardiograms done all electrocardiograms, 3.4...
Background: The sequelae of COVID-19 vaccine associated myocarditis (C-VAM) are incompletely understood. We sought to characterize the clinical course, myocardial injury, and outcomes in C-VAM.Methods: In this retrospective observational cohort multicenter study across 38 hospitals U.S., we compared cardiac imaging characteristics 333 C-VAM patients from April 2021 November 2022 with those 100 multisystem inflammatory syndrome children (MIS-C) explored risk factors for injury C-VAM.Findings:...
Cardiac injury has been described in both acute COVID-19 and the multisystem inflammatory syndrome children (MIS-C). Echocardiographic strain shown to be a sensitive measure of systolic function.We sought describe findings groups on initial presentation follow-up.A retrospective study analyzing echocardiograms all patients presenting with infection MIS-C at our institution between March 2020 December was performed.TOMTEC software used for analysis (COVID-19 MIS-C) age-matched healthy...
Abstract We present the case of a 4-month-old, former 23-week premature baby who underwent patent ductus arteriosus device closure in cardiac catheterisation lab with an Amplatzer Piccolo™ at 12 weeks life. This was complicated by late migration into aorta resulting severe obstruction and requiring surgical intervention.
Intrapericardial teratomas are rare, predominantly benign tumors that warrant surgical resection in the neonatal period because of their potential detrimental effects on cardiorespiratory system. Surgical can be a challenge when tumor encases and obscures coronary artery. Adherence to certain operative principles is necessary achieve successful outcomes.
Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to cause cardiac abnormalities in adults. Cardiac are well-described multisystem inflammatory syndrome children, but effects children with acute COVID-19 less understood. In this multicenter study, we assessed the of among hospitalized (<21 years) admitted three large healthcare systems New York City. Methods We performed a retrospective observational study. examined electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, troponin, or B-type natriuretic...
Abstract Congenital left ventricle to coronary sinus fistula is a rare entity. We report case of an infant with prenatal finding right atrial shunt. The anatomy was defined by multi-modality imaging. Baseline electrocardiogram notable for Wolff–Parkinson–White pattern. He underwent successful catheter device closure the fistula. patient developed supraventricular tachycardia and ablation accessory pathway.
Abstract Cardiac tumours are relatively uncommon, particularly in children. Myofibroma is an extremely rare variety of cardiac tumour, which nearly always arises the context infantile myofibromatosis. Herein, we present a case solitary myofibroma causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction 2-month-old male infant.
We describe the perventricular device closure of a large mid-muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) in 2.9 kg infant born with hypoplastic aortic arch and VSD using an Occlutech perimembranous occluder. In this case, anatomy required short low-profile hence occluder was used. To our knowledge, is first described use for hybrid muscular application technique patient <3 kg.
Background: Cardiac injury has been described in children with both acute COVID-19 and the multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). Strain shown to be a sensitive measure of systolic function can used for detecting subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We sought describe strain findings groups on initial presentation outpatient follow up. Methods: A retrospective study analyzing echocardiograms all patients presenting infection MIS-C at our institution between March 2020 December...
