Ultrasound techniques currently used in echocardiography uses frame rates from 30-150 frames/s. This limits its temporal resolution for very short lived events, especially in pediatric and congenital heart disease with faster heart rates compared to adults [1].

Cardiovascular ultrasound has played a key role in the evolution of early diagnosis of structural heart disease, led by a technology pioneered by Philips: the ‘transesophageal echocardiography’ (TEE) ultrasound transducer. TEE helps cardiologists by providing highly detailed images of the heart and its internal structures.

Background Axillary arterial access (AAA) in pediatric heart catheterizations is undervalued. Methods We retrospectively reviewed children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) who received trans-axillary arterial catheterizations between January 2019 and February 2023.

Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has approved DEFINITY (Perflutren Lipid Microsphere) as an ultrasound enhancing agent for use in pediatric patients with suboptimal echocardiograms, including those who have undergone heart transplant, or have Kawasaki disease or a congenital cardiovascular anomaly.

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. Subcostal view is a favourite view of pediatric echocardiographers. Interatrial septum is best imaged in this view.
