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. In a child with suspected sinus node dysfunction, chronotropic incompetence from sinus node dysfunction can be assessed by exercise testing.

Abstract 121: Misdiagnosis in a case of pediatric stroke

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Around a quarter of pediatric stroke patients will present with new onset seizures. We report this case to emphasize the importance of early consideration of ischemia as a differential diagnosis. pediatric stroke incidence is 2.5‐13 13 per 100,000 children per year [1]. There are thousands of stroke misdiagnoses every year [2].

PO-01-133 AN UNCOMMON ROAD TO RECURRING CARDIAC ARRESTS IN A PEDIATRIC PATIENT WITH HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

HeartRhythm

MB can alter diastolic flow and reduce coronary flow leading to myocardial ischemia and fibrosis. Myocardial bridge (MB) is common in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). MB is not well described in patients with HCM as a cause of sudden cardiac arrest (CA).

Teenager with chest pain and slightly elevated troponin. What happens then?
