The Roles of Pre-P-wave Versus Peri-P-wave Fractionated Electrograms for Atrial Substrate Beyond Entrainment Response.

Atrial tachycardia (AT) with alternating cycle lengths is sparsely reported, and, hence, the ideal mapping strategy has not been firmly established. Beyond the entrainment during tachycardia, some fragmentation characteristics might also give important clues for its possible participation in the macro-re-entrant circuit. We discuss a patient with prior atrial septal defect surgical closures who presented with dual macro-re-entrant ATs related to a fragmented area on the right atrial free wall (240 ms) and the cavotricuspid isthmus (260 ms), respectively.

Shaken baby syndrome in an infant treated for retinopathy of prematurity with anti-VEGF injection.

We present the case of an infant who received bevacizumab treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and developed retinal hemorrhages 12 weeks later.
