Early Experience with Ivabradine for Focal Atrial Tachycardia in Pediatric Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

HeartRhythm

Ivabradine is an anti-arrhythmic agent that reduces the heart rate through inhibition of the pacemaker current of the sinoatrial node. It has been used to treat both inappropriate sinus tachycardia and sinus tachycardia related to heart failure in children and adults.

First in man right atrial appendage implantation of a Micra leadless pacemaker

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Pacemaker implantation can be challenging in patients with congenital heart disease. Methods and Results In a patient with Ebstein disease and symptomatic sinus node dysfunction, despite multiple attempts, the Micra® pacemaker could not be implanted in the severely dilated right ventricle.

Feasibility of epicardial implantation of medtronic 3830 lead in a pediatric patient : case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

High-grade atrioventricular block is the primary reason for epicardial permanent pacemaker implantation during the perioperative period in patients with congenital heart disease. Due to the smaller diameter of.

Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Patients with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for requiring cardiac pacing during their lifetime. Due to atrial and ventricular pacing dependence, a comprehensive congenital care team concluded the need for lead extraction and replacement of pacemaker via leadless peacemaking device.

Arrhythmias in children undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction Heart transplantation (HT) is the only treatment option in children with heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathies and non-reparable congenital heart diseases. Three patients developed symptomatic sinus node dysfunction at 18, 25, and 38 days and received permanent pacemakers. months (IQR: 13.13–111.87),
