Abstract Introduction Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common pediatricarrhythmia. We describe the prescriptive tendencies, efficacy, and tolerability of BBs and CCBs used in the treatment of pediatric SVT. Demographic, comorbidity, symptomatology, and medication data were collected.
Methods We performed a retrospective clinical data review of all consecutive pediatric patients (aged 2–18 years) who underwent orthotopic HT for advanced heart failure at our institution between January 2007 and January 2023. 111.87), arrhythmias were detected in 9 (33%) patients. On a median follow-up of 35.07 months (IQR: 13.13–111.87),
Discussion on pediatric exercise testing. Pediatric exercise testing may be used for evaluation of various disorders of cardiac rhythm rather than for inducible ischemia as in adults. QT prolongation and the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias with exercise are another important aspect of exercise testing in children.
Shortly after isoprenalin infusion was initiated, there were short runs of ventricular tachycardia. VT is the second most common presenting arrhythmia. Vaso or inotropic medications are not harmless, and can precipitate life threatening arrhythmias. She was started on isoprenalin (isoproterenol).
ABSTRACT Introduction The aim of this study was to describe our experience and outcome of ablation therapy for arrhythmias in pediatrics at a tertiary care center. All pediatrics presenting to AUBMC between 2000 and 2020 who underwent cardiac ablation were included. The completed procedures showed a success rate of 93%.
Left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LSCD) is an effective treatment for channelopathies, especially in those where adrenaline acts as a trigger for life-threatening arrhythmias, such as long QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT).
Background:In diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), cardiac complications such as QTc interval prolongation can pose a risk for ventricular tachycardia. Current pediatric DKA management guidelines should include routine 12-lead ECGs and venous blood gas analyses with electrolytes to monitor QTc changes and mitigate arrhythmia risks.
IntroductionFocal atrial tachycardia (FAT) is predominant in the pediatric population. A 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed a narrow QRS complex tachycardia with a rate of 157 beats per minute and a prolonged RP relationship. Echocardiography indicated a severely reduced ejection fraction of 22%.
This can be a source of cardiac arrhythmia as well. An important cause of arrhythmias in Ebstein’s anomaly is the presence of a right sided accessory atrioventricular pathway or WPW syndrome. This is one important cause of supraventricular tachycardia in Ebstein’s anomaly.
Here is his 12-lead: There is a wide complex tachycardia with a rate of 257, with RBBB and LPFB (right axis deviation) morphology. Read about Fascicular VT here: Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardias for the EM Physician Case Continued He was completely stable, so adenosine was administered. See Learning point 1 below.
IF this was 2:1 AV block — then the P-P interval should be everywhere the same ( with only occasional exception of some atrial tachycardias in adults that may not always be completely regular ). It is important to remember that pediatric tracings manifest a number of differences from adult ECGs.
This is the proposed mechanism of precipitation of arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome during febrile episodes. There is a potential risk for drug challenge in that life threatening ventricular arrhythmias could be precipitated. It is seldom done in pediatric age group. This leads to shortening of action potential duration.
Otherwise vitals after intubation were only notable for tachycardia. An initial EKG was obtained: Computer read: sinus tachycardia, early acute anterior infarct. Prior to Mizusawa's study, it was thought that the incidence of syncope, arrhythmia, or SCD in this cohort was low [7]. There was a 0.9% Circulation, 117, 1890–1893. [3]:
There is sinus tachycardia and also a large R-wave in aVR. Drug toxicity , especially diphenhydramine , which has sodium channel blocking effects, and also anticholinergic effects which may result in sinus tachycardia, hyperthermia, delirium, and dry skin. Her temperature was 106 degrees. As part of the workup, she underwent an ECG.
Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a common supraventricular tachycardia in children and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. As regards AVNRT in CHD patients, it represents the third most common form of arrhythmia in children with CHD.
