Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze cardiac issues in patients with Kawasaki disease during their acute phase at a children's hospital in Mexico City, covering data from August 1995 to December 2016.
- It involved 508 Kawasaki disease cases, predominantly affecting boys, with most patients receiving intravenous immunoglobulin treatment; notable cardiac complications included arrhythmias, myocarditis, pericarditis, and coronary artery aneurysms.
- The findings highlighted a rise in Kawasaki disease diagnoses in Mexico, with a higher rate of cardiac complications than previously documented, emphasizing the need for greater awareness of the disease and its effects on heart health.
Introduction: QT interval prolongation is associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death syndrome.
Objective: To determine the value of QTc interval in healthy newborns in a general hospital in Jalisco, Mexico, and their outcome during their first months of life.
Methods: The study included healthy newborns from March to November 2016, in the Hospital General of Occidente in Jalisco, Mexico.
The cardiovascular system is a dynamic system, which is required to ensure adequate delivery of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to the tissues that are necessary for cell metabolism. It also synthesises and modifies the vasoactive components that regulate vascular tone and myocardial function. These vasoactive components have demonstrated their beneficial effects in the management of paediatric patients in a critical condition with heart failure and shock.
