Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is a promising pacing technique aimed at mitigating pacing-induced cardiomyopathy; however, a gap in understanding persists concerning intraprocedural complications and their management. This case study sheds light on a rare complication associated with LBBAP. Through sheath penetration into the interventricular septum at a typical site, a septogram revealed the dissection of a large septal coronary vein. Herein, we propose the management strategy and its outcome.

Prevalence of scoliosis and congenital heart disease based on school screening in Jinghong City, Yunnan Province.
Front Public Health

Orthopedics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, China.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of scoliosis and congenital heart disease (CHD) in the same area and to explore the relationship between them according to a joint school screening.
Methods: All students aged 6-15 years in 20 schools in Jinghong City, Yunnan Province, China was screened for scoliosis and CHD. Scoliosis screening completed through the Adam's forward bending test with scoliometer measurement, and CHD screening completed through auscultation combined with portable echocardiography (ECHO).

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) involves the buildup of transthyretin protein in the heart muscle in the form of amyloid fibrils, which can affect heart structure and function. Common ECG findings of ATTR-CA include low QRS voltage and a pseudo-myocardial infarction (MI) pattern, defined as pathological Q waves or QS complexes in two consecutive leads without a history of MI or echocardiographic evidence of akinetic areas. Here, we present a case of ATTR-CA in a very elderly patient, in whom pathological Q waves on ECG were true indicators of a prior inferior MI.

Infective endocarditis remains a deadly disease with a significant mortality rate. While ventricular septal defects (VSDs) have been linked to an increased risk of infective endocarditis, cases of acquired VSDs resulting from infective endocarditis are not well-documented in the literature. Our report highlights a rare case of acquired VSD that resulted directly from aortic valve endocarditis, treated with successful repair and placement of permanent pacemaker.

A 69-year-old male diagnosed with subacute myocardial infarction was subsequently transferred to our institution. Upon admission, echocardiography revealed ventricular septal rupture (VSR). The patient was promptly supported via venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and Impella CP before surgical VSR repair on the 12th day of admission.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and natural history of pediatric patients with a diagnosis of vascular ring.
Method: We retrospectively studied the records of 110 patients of pediatric age, from January 2014 to December 2022, with the following variables: age, clinical manifestations, associated cardiac lesions, diagnostic method and surgical approach.
Results: Of the total, 60 (55%) were female and 50 (45%) were male.
