Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is rare in children, and sudden cardiac death (SCD) is difficult to predict. Two prognostic scores - HCM Risk-Kids and Precision Medicine for Cardiomyopathy (PRIMaCY) - were developed to assess the risk of SCD in the next 5 years in children with HCM.
Aims: To test the ability of these scores to predict SCD in children with HCM.
Unlabelled: Hypnoanalgesia is a promising non-pharmacologic adjunct technique in paediatric interventions. Its safety, efficiency, and impacts on paediatric cardiac catheterisation (CC) are unknown.
Methods: In a prospective study, patients aged <16 years who underwent CC under hypnoanalgesia from January to December 2021 were included.
(1) Transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (PmVSD) is becoming more attractive and effective with the development of new occluders. The aim of this study was to report a single-center experience in PmVSD closure using the Lifetech Konar-multifunctional occluder (MFO). (2) From March 2019 to October 2022, 43 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study.

This study aims to measure the time to diagnosis in MIS-C, assess its impact on the occurrence of cardiogenic shock, and specify its determinants.
Methods: A single-center prospective cohort observational study was conducted between May 2020 and July 2022 at a tertiary care hospital.
