A 40-year-old female presented at our hospital because of heart palpitations. During an electrophysiological study, atrioventricular (AV) conduction showed dual AV nodal physiology. Three types of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) were induced. The initiation of SVT was reproducibility dependent on a critical A-H interval prolongation. An early premature atrial contraction during SVT repeatedly advanced the immediate His potential with termination of the tachycardia, indicating AV node reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). However, after atrial overdrive pacing during SVT without termination of the tachycardia, the first return electrogram resulted in an AHHA response, consistent with junctional tachycardia. The mechanism of paradoxical responses to pacing maneuvers differentiating AVNRT and junctional tachycardia was discussed.

Introduction: Although amiodarone is traditionally used in the treatment of postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET), the search for new treatments is ongoing. We present our experience with ivabradine at two medical centers.
Materials And Methods: Between January 2022 and January 2023, patients who developed JET after pediatric cardiac surgery were prospectively followed up and documented.
Comparison of Immediate Outcomes of Pulmonary Valve-Sparing and Transannular Patch Techniques for Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot.

Objectives: This study primarily aimed to compare the mechanical ventilation durations between pulmonary valve-sparing and transannular patch repair techniques in the surgical correction of Tetralogy of Fallot. Secondary objectives included comparison of demographic characteristics, cardiopulmonary bypass parameters, postoperative vasoactive inotrope requirements, incidence of cardiac conduction abnormalities, echocardiographic findings, intensive care unit and hospitalisation durations, reoperations rates, morbidity and mortality between the 2 approaches.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, between January 2016 and December 2019.
Junctional Ectopic Tachycardia After Congenital Heart Surgery: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes.

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Dr. Siyami Ersek Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital, İstanbul, Türkiye.
Objective: Postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is usually a self-limiting condition; however, when combined with atrioventricular dissociation and postoperative ventricular dysfunction, it may increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the overall incidence of JET following congenital heart surgery, to identify patient and procedure-related risk factors, and to evaluate the clinical impact of JET on outcomes.
Methods: The records of 2,814 patients who underwent cardiac surgery over a five-year period were reviewed retrospectively to identify those with JET.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the heart health of women with HIV using Holter monitoring at Ditan Hospital.
- It analyzed data from 35 female HIV-infected patients, revealing various heart rhythm issues, with the most common being sinus rhythm and various premature beats.
- The findings highlighted that Holter monitoring can detect significant ECG abnormalities in HIV-positive patients, potentially allowing for earlier treatment interventions.
