Abstract Background Congenital heart disease is a wide category of structural and functional heart abnormalities present at birth, including defects in the cardiac muscle, septa, valves, arteries, or veins. Patients…
Abstract Accelerated ventricular rhythm is well-recognized in adults and is frequently reported with reperfusion post-infarction. It is rare in newborns. We present a case of presumed neonatal myocarditis likely secondary…
Abstract Background Patent foramen ovale is a fetal communication between the atria that is caused by incompetence of the valve of the oval fossa. It is a common incidental finding…
Abstract Background Acute myocarditis, often linked to viral infections and autoimmune processes, significantly contributes to sudden cardiac death in young adults. Recurrent episodes can result from genetic mutations, particularly involving…
Abstract Background In recent years, there has been a rise in the adoption of conservative approaches to managing patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants. Systematic appraisal of the clinical…
Abstract Background Early detection of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction before the onset of Duchenne muscular dystrophy–associated cardiomyopathy (DMDAC) may direct earlier clinical management. Ejection fraction (EF) is the most measured…
Abstract Background Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) affects 1 in 500 children and is characterized by rapid heart rate originating from the atrial tissue above the atrioventricular node and interventricular septum. Aim…
Abstract Infantile scimitar syndrome is a rare type of partial pulmonary venous return that is sometimes complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension, which has a poor prognosis. As the genetic background…
Abstract Background Transposition of the great vessels (TGV) is a congenital heart defect characterized by ventriculoarterial discordance, leading to cyanosis and hypoxemia. Globally, TGV accounts for 4 % of all congenital…
Abstract Background A 3-dimensional understanding of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and its stages of surgical palliation is crucial for pediatric cardiology trainees. Virtual reality has been used in surgical…
