Objective: To determine the prevalence and spectrum of diseases that predispose to sudden cardiac death in Mexican children, and to identify the main early signs and symptoms that can enable the health personnel to suspect these diseases and to refer the patients to a tertiary hospital in a timely manner.
Methods: Incidence, prevalence, and period prevalence, as well as early symptoms, clinical data, and follow-up were recorded on all children found with diseases that predispose to sudden cardiac death in The Children's Hospital of Mexico.
Results: The study included 59 patients, with a mean age of 8 ± 5 years old, with 40 cardiomyopathies, and 19 with inherited arrhythmogenic diseases.
Article Synopsis
- The right-side aortic arch can be linked to an aberrant left subclavian artery, which may develop from Kommerell's diverticulum, an aneurysmal dilation of the aorta.
- Two cases are highlighted where a vascular ring is formed by the right-side aortic arch, an anomalous left subclavian artery, and Kommerell's diverticulum, alongside a left patent ductus arteriosus.
- The report includes a literature review discussing the embryological development of this anomaly and the imaging techniques helpful for its diagnosis.
Persistent fifth aortic arch is a rare congenital vascular anomaly, with no clinical impact, so diagnosis is usually an incidental finding occasionally associated with other congenital heart defects. We report a case of persistent fifth aortic arch associated with patent ductus arteriosus.
