Objective Describe the methodology and role of CNA for treatment of pediatric patients with functional AVB or SP. with one documented SP after termination of atrial tachycardia at the 3-month follow-up. Methods This is a single-center, case series study. Post-CNA, the median longest pause was 1.3 s s (range 0.8–2.2)

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.

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).

Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) presenting with ventricular tachycardia (VT) has been associated with poor early outcome, and complete heart block (CHB) is rare, especially without ventricular escape rhythm.

Shortly after isoprenalin infusion was initiated, there were short runs of ventricular tachycardia. During the next 24 hours, she experienced periods of complete AV block with a ventricular escape rhythm in the 20s. She was started on isoprenalin (isoproterenol). The following ECG was recorded during one of these episodes of VT.

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?

IF this was 2:1 AV block — then the P-P interval should be everywhere the same ( with only occasional exception of some atrial tachycardias in adults that may not always be completely regular ). It is important to remember that pediatric tracings manifest a number of differences from adult ECGs.

It is seldom done in pediatric age group. There is a potential risk for drug challenge in that life threatening ventricular arrhythmias could be precipitated. Hence drug challenge is to be done only in a monitored intensive care facility. With proper precautions, risk can be reduced.
