Congenital Heart Defects and Supraventricular Tachycardia in Children
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Account for the differences in the fetal circulation and the circulatory changes that occur at birth as they relate to the physical assessment of congenital heart defects. 2. Develop an understanding of the anatomy and physiology associated with uncorrected, palliated, and corrected congenital heart defects. 3. Design pharmacological treatment plans needed for preoperative, postoperative, and long-term management of various congenital heart defects. 4. Describe the anatomy, physiology, and potential complications associated with corrected versus uncorrected congenital heart defects. 5. Based on the clinical features and electrocardiogram findings, distinguish between atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. 6. Design a pharmaceutical care plan for the management of acute and chronic supraventricular tachycardia in infants and children.

Dual atrioventricular nodal pathways: a common electrophysiologic response in children.
Electrophysiologic investigation was performed on 61 children and young adults during evaluation of either cardiac dysrhythmia or pre- or postoperative congenital heart disease. The results of these studies were reviewed retrospectively to determine if longitudinal dissociation of the atrioventricular node (AVN) was present. Dual AVN pathways were detected by the atrial extrastimulus technique,...
متن کاملEmergency diagnosis and management of common pediatric tachyarrhythmia
Tachycardia is common in the pediatric age group. The most commonly seen arrhythmias in children are sinus tachycardia. However, supraventricular tachycardia is the most common tachyarrhythmia that necessitates treatment. Ventricular tachycardia is rare in healthy children but may be associated with sudden cardiac death. The important risk factors that predispose children for arrhythmias inclu...

Sixty-two infants and children with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) were under long-term follow-up at The New York Hospital over a 20-year period. Twenty had associated congenital heart disease. In 29 infants and 6 children in hospitalfor paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, digitalis relieved the episodes in all but one instance and prevented further recurrences in all but 4. One ...

Symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia is a common indication for radiofrequency catheter ablation treatment. Often, supraventricular tachycardia is associated with sick sinus syndrome, which requires the implantation of a permanent pacemaker. Underlying structural heart diseases such as complex congenital anomalies or a history of prior cardiac surgery can hinder successful procedural treatm...
متن کاملSupraventricular microreentry in a newborn due to a giant atrial septum aneurysm
Supraventricular arrhythmias in neonates are rare and mostly not related to structural heart defects. We present the first case of a newborn with a supraventricular microreentrant tachycardia possibly associated with an atrial septum aneurysm and emphasize the importance of a thorough diagnostic workup allowing a fast and adequate therapy.
