3 days ago · Background Event monitors are being increasingly used in pediatric and adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients for arrhythmia evaluation. Data on their diagnostic yield are limited. Objecti...
3 days ago · Arrhythmias were found in 33 children (23.6%): 13 (9.3%) supraventricular tachyarrhythmias; 14 (10%) ventricular arrhythmias (five frequent PVCs (premature ventricular contractions), eight patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT), one ventricular fibrillation (VF)); two (1.4%) sinus node disfunctions; two (1.4%) complete atrio-ventricular ...
5 days ago · It is reported that ICD implantation is an effective and safe method both of primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death in children with LQTS [25, 26]. However, excessive and frequent use of electric defibrillation and cardioversion can easily lead to myocardial injury, make patients (especially children) in a state of extreme fear to activate the sympathetic nervous system [ 27 ].
4 days ago · Generally it is a benign condition related to emotional distress, especially in a young child with febrile illnesses, dehydration of variable degrees, or pain. Primary pediatric tachyarrhythmias are relatively infrequent, and in a healthy child, the majority are of a benign nature.
2 days ago · Given the variability in heart rates associated with fetal arrhythmias, such as atrial flutter (AF), SVT, SB, and fetal tachycardia, ranging from 110 to 300 bpm, a patch may encompass 2–10 cardiac cycles. 26–29 In this study, 24 slots were allocated in each patch, involving 12 slots for the peak of the LVS and 12 slots for the peak of the RAS.
2 days ago · Cardiac arrhythmias are commonly noted in patients during infections with and recovery from COVID-19. Arrhythmic manifestations span the spectrum of innocuous and benign to life-threatening and deadly. Various pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed. Debate continues on the impact of incident and exacerbated arrhythmias on the acute and chronic (recovery) phase of the illness. COVID ...

5 days ago · Infants and very young children who cannot avoid ICD therapy will generally have an epicardial ICD system implanted via open chest surgery, similar to an epicardial pacemaker system. However, removal of epicardial ICD coils and leads later in life is an even more invasive procedure than transvenous lead extraction, so epicardial hardware is almost always left in place and abandoned when a ...
