Atrial arrhythmia and heart failure in congenital heart disease: a pas de deux with consequences

Heart BMJ

In adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD patients), atrial arrhythmias (AA) and heart failure (HF) are common. 1 Factors related to congenital heart disease, such as underlying anatomy, surgical repair technique and scars, can all be considered as AA substrates.

To revise the anatomy lessons, this is the external jugular vein and this is the internal jugular vein. So a prominent A wave in a complex congenital heart disease situation would indicate that interventricular septum is intact. One is ventricular tachycardia with regular retrograde activation.

Transcatheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia in children and congenital heart disease in the era of 3D mapping

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a common supraventricular tachycardia in children and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. Nowadays, in large enough children, chronic treatment for symptomatic and recurrent AVNRT episodes relies on transcatheter ablation.
