Article Synopsis
- The case report discusses a rare combination of two heart conditions: cor triatriatum and partial atrioventricular septal defect in a pediatric patient.
- Cor triatriatum is a congenital heart defect characterized by an abnormal division of the left atrium, leading to potential complications in blood flow.
- The report highlights the importance of recognizing and diagnosing this unusual combination to manage the child's condition effectively.
Heart block and empirical therapy after transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
November 2005
Two patients with perimembranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and inlet extension have undergone uncomplicated transcatheter device closure using the Amplatzer membranous VSD device. Both patients developed complete heart block 2-4 days from the closure. Both patients responded well to high-dose intravenous therapy with steroids and high-dose oral anti-inflammatory aspirin.

Methods: One hundred singleton pregnancies were examined in this longitudinal study. Cardiac time intervals were derived from fetal electrocardiograms obtained noninvasively using three electrodes placed on the maternal abdomen.
We document the value of non-invasive fetal electrocardiography (fECG) in a case of fetal arrhythmia in which an unnecessary cesarean section was almost performed. The fetal heart rate (fHR) was 60-70 beats per minute (bpm) on the cardiotocography (CTG), with occasional, sudden fluctuations to 130 bpm. This was probably a result of the technical limitations of the CTG.
