Background: The Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern is a delta wave frequently detected in school-based cardiovascular screening programs in Japan. Although most children with Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern are asymptomatic, initial symptoms may include syncope or sudden death, necessitating accurate diagnosis and management. Delta waves can also indicate a fasciculoventricular pathway, which poses no risk and does not require management.

Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is generally associated with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Supraventricular arrhythmias are an accepted cause of SCD in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and complex congenital heart disease. However, the role of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATAs) in SCD in patients with structurally normal hearts is unclear.

Continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring remains crucial during surgery in infants and children. Although generally uncommon in pediatric-aged patients, ECG changes may occasionally be indicative of a variety of myocardial pathologies including anomalous origin of coronary arteries, ventricular hypertrophy, myocarditis, hypothermia, drug effects, electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base disturbances or conduction system disorders such as Wolff-Parkinson-White and Brugada syndrome. Distinguishing between pathologic and non-pathologic conditions impacting the ECG must be considered so that appropriate interventions are provided to prevent perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Purpose: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) and index newborns reportedly may experience cardiac arrhythmia disorders [Tella et al.-Pediatric Critical Care Medicine 2022]. This study analyses, details and reports contemporary outcome metrics of CHD and cardiac rhythm disease (CRD) in CDH babies attending a university surgical centre.
