Case report: Challenges and implications of conduction system pacing in pediatrics: Case series.

Cardiac electrical stimulation in children usually is needed in the setting of complete congenital atrioventricular block, atrioventricular block after heart surgery, and bradycardia associated with some specific channelopathies. In cases of atrioventricular block, the high percentage of ventricular stimulation raises concern on the deleterious effects of chronic stimulation of the right ventricle. In recent years, physiologic stimulation has developed as a valid approach for adult patients and a great interest has risen in offering conduction system pacing also to the pediatric population.

Supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and sinus node dysfunction as a first manifestation of short QT syndrome in a pediatric patient. Case Report.

Short QT syndrome (SQTS) represents a diagnosis challenge where the symptoms may vary from palpitations in an otherwise asymptomatic patient to sudden death. Is a recently discovered rare channelopathy, identified by Gussak in 2000, characterized by short QT intervals on the electrocardiogram and a tendency to develop atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in the absence of structural heart disease, hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia, hyperthermia, acidosis and endocrine disorders. We present the case of a 16-year-old patient with short QT-type channelopathy, who presented with sinus arrest and junctional rhythm, who later developed atrial tachycardia and atrial flutter.
