Background:In diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), cardiac complications such as QTc interval prolongation can pose a risk for ventricular tachycardia. Current pediatric DKA management guidelines should include routine 12-lead ECGs and venous blood gas analyses with electrolytes to monitor QTc changes and mitigate arrhythmia risks.

IntroductionFocal atrial tachycardia (FAT) is predominant in the pediatric population. A 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed a narrow QRS complex tachycardia with a rate of 157 beats per minute and a prolonged RP relationship. Echocardiography indicated a severely reduced ejection fraction of 22%.

Based on this robust study, one can conclude that symptomatic pediatric CPVT patients are at high risk for arrhythmic syncope, SCA and SCD even when receiving medical treatment. Compliance and underdosing with medications play a major role in these risks. LCSD may be underutilized in CPVT.

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. Clinical, procedural, and follow-up data were collected and comprehensively analyzed.

so it must be a pediatric ECG. The ECG was done because the heart rate was 230 and the differential included SVT vs. sinus tachycardia. This is typical of pediatric ECGs because the fetal circulation depends on the right ventricle. What can you say about this ECG at a rate of 230 beats per minute?

Left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LSCD) is an effective treatment for channelopathies, especially in those where adrenaline acts as a trigger for life-threatening arrhythmias, such as long QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT).

ABSTRACT Background Low voltage bridge mapping (LVBM) is an approach to atrio-ventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation that has been postulated to facilitate the procedure. The aim of this study was to analyze how the introduction of the LVBM influenced the results of the pediatric AVNRT ablations using the RF current.
