چکیده

Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital malformation, characterized by an apical displacement and dysplasia of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve with a right ventricular atrialization compromising its function. This malformation includes electrical conduction abnormalities, and very rarely ventricular arrhythmias. We report the case of a 22-year-old male, presenting with dizziness and palpitations. The electrocardiogram showed a sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT). The presentation of the disease with ventricular tachycardia associated with hemodynamic instability is extremely rare. We placed a surgical implantable cardiac defibrillator when the diagnosis of EA, SMVT, and right ventricular systolic impairment was confirmed.

Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia in a Patient with Superior- Inferior Ventricles and Dextrocardia Treated with Cryoablation

A 19-year-old female underwent repair of complex congenital heart disease (atrial and ventricular septal defect with a supero-inferior ventricular relationship) in infancy. Because of recurrent palpitations she underwent an electrophysiology study. Atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia was diagnosed. Catheter ablation was performed successfully using cryothermal energy. The diag...

Emergency 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...
