Atypical twin atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia in a congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries patient with a surgical repair of a ventricular septal defect: a case report.

Background: Twin atrioventricular (AV) nodal tachycardia is a rare mechanism of supraventricular arrhythmia, only seen in some specific congenital heart defects (CHD). It consists of a re-entrant circuit between two distinct AV nodes (anterior and inferior). Since both nodes have antegrade and retrograde conduction, there is usually two QRS morphologies in sinus rhythm.

Outcomes of Newborns with Prenatal Ventricular Asymmetry not Requiring Neonatal Surgical Intervention: a 22-Year Retrospective Single-Center Study.

To assess the outcomes of neonates prenatally diagnosed with ventricular asymmetry and not operated on within the neonatal period and to determine the risk factors for left heart obstruction occurrence at follow-up. All neonates with prenatal asymmetry of the ventricles, diagnosed from August 1993 to July 2015, not operated on within the neonatal period, were retrospectively included in the study. Left heart echocardiographic measurements at birth and at last follow-up were collected and compared.

Right atrial tear associated with a tumour in the right atrium after blunt chest trauma.

Occult cardiac injury following blunt trauma is more common than generally suspected. Myocardial contusion is not rare, however, it is generally a benign disorder which often remains undiagnosed. We report a case of a right atrial rupture after blunt chest trauma causing a tamponade.
