Catheter ablation of atrial flutter in an adult with a univentricular heart, common atrium, and single atrioventricular valve: a case report-'complex things don't always require a complex solution'.
Eur Heart J Case Rep

Cardiac Electrophysiology, National Medical Center 'November 20th', ISSSTE, Av. Felix Cuevas #540, Col. Del Valle Del. Benito Juarez, C.P. 03100 Mexico City, Mexico.
Background: The 'univentricular' heart encompasses a variety of congenital cardiac defects characterized by a single functional ventricle and an underdeveloped ventricular chamber. Surgical intervention, typically in infancy or childhood, aims to regulate pulmonary blood flow volume. In adulthood, untreated patients may experience limitations in physical activity and elevated morbidity due to persistent cyanosis and arrhythmias, notably after the Fontan procedure.

Constrictive pericarditis is a rare complication after cardiac surgery. It is mostly seen in adults. We report a case of constrictive pericarditis in a 3-year-old child with right ventricular dysfunction after permanent pacemaker implantation during infancy for congenital complete heart block.

- Right ventricular outflow dysfunction is a common issue in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, leading to increased health risks as they age.
- The American Heart Association has released an update focusing on how to monitor and treat this condition effectively, including new therapies and techniques for managing complications.
- The statement highlights the importance of understanding how other health issues and patients' perspectives affect their quality of life and includes discussions on when and how to perform pulmonary valve replacements.
[Clinical and genetic analysis of a case of Triadin knockout syndrome due to variant of TRDN gene and a literature review].
Zhonghua Yi Xue Yi Chuan Xue Za Zhi
November 2024
Department of Cardiology, the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi 710003, China.
Objective: To explore the genetic etiology and clinical phenotype of a child with Triadin knockout syndrome (TKOS), and to review the relevant literature of TKOS patients due to variants of TRDN gene.
Methods: A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University on March 19, 2023 due to sudden cardiac arrest 3 days earlier was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples (2 to 3 mL) were collected from the child and her parents for the extraction of genomic DNA and whole exome sequencing (WES).
Pathogenesis and Surgical Treatment of Dextro-Transposition of the Great Arteries (D-TGA): Part II.
J Clin Med
August 2024
Department of Clinical Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Lodz, Mazowiecka 6/8, 92-215 Lodz, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is a serious congenital heart defect where the heart’s two main arteries are switched, leading to separation of pulmonary and systemic blood flow.
- The condition can occur on its own or alongside other heart issues and is influenced by a mix of genetic and environmental factors.
- Surgical intervention during infancy, including necessary procedures like balloon atrial septostomy and various corrective surgeries, is crucial for improving outcomes, as early diagnosis and treatment significantly enhance the chances of survival into adulthood.
