ECG challenge: Intermittent wide QRS complexes in heterotaxy syndrome.

J Electrocardiol

January 2025

Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, Medical University Graz, Graz, Austria.

We report wide QRS complexes appearing in conjunction with prolonged R-R intervals in a 5- year old patient with situs ambiguous and mirror image dextrocardia, who had undergone ASD and VSD closure at of the age of one. We present differential diagnoses of intermittent spontaneous QRS widening and refer to ECG lead positioning in mirror image dextrocardia patients.

Duodromic atrioventricular reentry tachycardia: a case report of a rare adenosine insensitive supraventricular tachycardia.

Eur Heart J Case Rep

January 2025

Arrhythmology, Pacing and Electrophysiology Unit, Cardiology Service, Santa Marta Hospital, Central Lisbon Hospital University Centre, R. de Santa Marta 50, Lisboa 1169-024, Portugal.

Background: Accessory pathways (AP) are associated with an increased risk of atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (AVRT), presenting as a wide QRS tachycardia if the mechanism is antidromic. Rarely, AVRT may not respond to adenosine, suggesting a duodromic mechanism if the patient has multiple APs. Herein, we present a case of a male patient with multiple APs, wide QRS complex tachycardia, and resistance to adenosine.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the management and diagnosis of Wolf-Parkinson White Syndrome (WPW) and asymptomatic pre-excitation in Africa, highlighting a lack of data in the region.
  • Conducted in 20 centers across 17 African countries, the research involved 541 participants and focused on symptomatology, treatment approaches, and the impact of local health dynamics on care.
  • Results indicated that a vast majority were diagnosed with WPW, with significant regional differences in treatment options and effectiveness, showing that Northern and Southern Africa have more advanced practices compared to other areas.
