AUGUST 21, 2024

Among pediatric patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT), 1-12% are reported to need a permanent pacemaker (PPM).1 1 There are limited studies on the outcomes of PPM placement, and the role of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in pediatric OHT remains unclear.

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. Three patients developed symptomatic sinus node dysfunction at 18, 25, and 38 days and received permanent pacemakers.

Objective Describe the methodology and role of CNA for treatment of pediatric patients with functional AVB or SP. Conclusion CNA may be an effective alternative to pacemaker implantation in pediatric patients with syncope or significant symptoms secondary to functional SP or AVB. At 6 months, the median longest pause was 1.1 s

so it must be a pediatric ECG. This is typical of pediatric ECGs because the fetal circulation depends on the right ventricle. The computer read is usually very good at determining pacemakers and intervals, but it was way off in this case: it said: "electronic ventricular pacemaker" and measured the QRS at 202 ms!
