Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on 12 children diagnosed with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), investigating their long-term health outcomes, including how they responded to treatments and the incidence of heart-related events over a follow-up period of about 20 years.
- - Despite beta-blocker therapy, a significant number of patients continued to experience syncope and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), indicating that the risk of cardiac events remains high, even with treatment.
- - Genetic testing revealed mutations in several patients, highlighting the importance of personalized treatment strategies, and suggesting that combining beta-blockers with antiarrhythmic medications might be beneficial for managing CPVT.
Background: The pacemaker lead placement is presented as one of the most appropriate procedures in children with a complete atrioventricular block (AVB). Despite the fact that video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for epicardial lead placement has demonstrated positive results as to the feasibility, safety, and efficacy in adults, its role in pacemaker implantation in children remains unclear.
Aim: This study sought to assess the intermediate-term outcomes of video-assisted thoracoscopic pacemaker lead placement in children with complete AVB.
The paper presents a practical case of histiocytoid cardiomyopathy concurrent with noncompact myocardium, atrial septal defects, myocarditis, and pericarditis in an 8-month-old girl, by describing their clinical presentations and a morphological examination.

Long QT syndrome was diagnosed in these children at ages 4 to 7 years. Syncope, QT prolongation on electrocardiogram (corrected QT interval ≥ 490 milliseconds), notched T-wave morphology, bradycardia, and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia were found in all of the patients.
