Pediatric Exercise Testing

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

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. Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is the classical arrhythmia noted in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.

Cardiac Ablation in the Pediatric Population at a Tertiary Care Center in a Developing Country

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

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%.

It is seldom done in pediatric age group. Still more are factors are age < 18 years, sudden cardiac death in first degree relative, SCN5A mutations, atrial fibrillation, PR interval > 200 ms, QRS duration > 120 ms, presence of late potentials and aVR sign, manifested as R wave ≥ 0.3 mV or R/q ≥ 0.75. Heart Rhythm.

QT Correction Formulas Compared to The Rule of Thumb ("Half the RR")

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Answer : you must treat the patient's underlying condition causing sinus tachycardia, and repeat the ECG at the lower heart rate. Rate correction should not be used when RR interval has large variability, as in atrial fibrillation. Correlation of QT Interval Correction Methods During Atrial Fibrillation and Sinus Rhythm.
