Background: The aim of the study was to document cardiovascular clinical findings, cardiac imaging, and laboratory markers in children presenting with the novel multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.
Methods: This real-time internet-based survey has been endorsed by the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiologists Working Groups for Cardiac Imaging and Cardiovascular Intensive Care. Children 0 to 18 years of age admitted to a hospital between February 1 and June 6, 2020, with a diagnosis of an inflammatory syndrome and acute cardiovascular complications were included.
Background: In cystic fibrosis (CF) patients the right ventricle (RV) suffers a progressive deterioration, but it is not clear when these changes begin. The aim of this study was to analyze the RV function in CF patients with mild respiratory disease.
Methods: Color-Doppler-Echocardiographic studies were prospectively performed in CF adolescent patients and an age-matched control group.
Article Synopsis
- - Pediatric syncope is a common issue seen in 3% of emergency department consultations, especially among teenage girls aged 15 to 19, where about 25% have experienced it.
- - While most causes of syncope are benign, it's crucial to determine any serious underlying conditions, as heart disease can be responsible for 10-28% of cases.
- - An extensive medical history and thorough examination usually suffice to exclude serious health problems, but a case is discussed involving a diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma in the mediastinum following recurrent syncopal episodes.
[Clinical observations on propranolol use for paediatric airway hemangiomas].
Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp

Treatment of subglottic hemangiomas in children has traditionally been characterized as a challenging situation with multiple therapeutic options without consensus as to which one is the best and with risks of severe side effects. Recent reports on the experience of propranolol use in the treatment of paediatric airway hemangiomas suggest favourable reasons for this use due to the rapid improvement and its lack of severe side effects. In this paper we report the experience with 6 children having symptomatic airway hemangiomas treated with propranolol.

Corrective surgery was carried out without previous cardiac catheterization. During the operation, the right superior vena cava was found to be absent.
