Atrial arrhythmia and heart failure in adult patients with congenital heart disease: a retrospective cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Atrial arrhythmias (AA) and heart failure (HF) are major causes of hospitalisation in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Methods In this single-centre retrospective cohort study, data from 3995 patients with ACHD were analysed.

Very High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction Data regarding safety and long-term outcome of very high-power-short duration (vHPSD) ablation in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) are lacking. Regardless of CHD complexity, no vHPSD ablation modality related complications occurred.

PO-01-036 ACCURACY OF FORWARD-SOLUTION COMPUTATIONAL ECG MAPPING FOR VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS IN PATIENTS WITH ADULT CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE

HeartRhythm

Patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) such as Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) are at high risk for ventricular arrhythmias requiring ablation. Less common syndromes such as double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and Williams Syndrome provide additional complications.

Efficacy and Safety of Early Post-Operative Ablation in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

HeartRhythm

Post-operative arrhythmias are most often transient and medically treated, but some patients may require electrophysiology study (EPS) and ablation.

Collection of a few ECGs in congenital heart diseases

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

All these features together in a cyanotic congenital heart disease is characteristic of tricuspid atresia. Fragmented QRS is a marker of myocardial scar and consequent arrhythmias in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Multiple accessory pathways can occur and radiofrequency catheter ablation is effective.

PO-04-191 ABLATION SUCCESS UTILIZING REMOTE MAGNETIC NAVIGATION AND 3-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING IN COMPLEX CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE

HeartRhythm

Patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) are at risk for recurrent atrial arrhythmias late after atrial switch operations. Advanced anatomic knowledge including prior surgical incisions are integral in planning the ablation procedure.

An Unusual Response to Entrainment Mapping in a Patient with Congenital Heart Disease

HeartRhythm

A 37-year-old woman with biventricular repair for pulmonary atresia and an intact ventricular septum was referred for an electrophysiological study in the context of recurrent atrial arrhythmias with multiple electrical cardioversions. Her clinical tachycardia was easily inducible and had a cycle length (TCL) of 340 ms.
