The relevance of the study is conditioned by the problem of implantation of an artificial cardiac pacemaker in atrial fibrillation in patients with tachy-brady syndrome according to the standard scheme related to the presence of a congenital anomaly, such as persistent left superior vena cava. The purpose of the study is to develop an operative method of implantation of a permanent two-chamber pacemaker in patients with tachy-brady syndrome with concomitant pathology of the persistent left superior vena cava. Research methods are the generally accepted clinical and instrumental examination of the patient, including taking anamnesis and a standard cardiological examination, electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography, plain radiography, angiocardiographic examination, and multispiral computed tomography, which, along with a general analysis, confirm the presence of tachy-brady syndrome with atrial fibrillation and congenital anomaly in the form of persistent left superior vena cava in patients.

Methods: The descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Karachi, between February and November, 2010. Using convenience sampling, the first 100 consecutive patients showing the characteristic electrocardiogram pattern with a history of chest pain indicative of unstable angina and undergoing coronary angiography were included.

Stella Van Praagh, MD (1927-2006) of Children's Hospital Boston was one of the greatest pediatric cardiologists and pediatric cardiac pathologists of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Née Stella Zacharioudaki from Crete, Greece, in addition to her stellar professional attainments, she was also an outstanding cuisinière, hostess, linguist, philosopher, and philanthropist. In 1962, she married Richard Van Praagh, MD, beginning a life-long collaboration that was in every sense an affaire de coeur.

This report describes a rare case of moderate to severe valvular aortic stenosis in the setting of severe tricuspid stenosis, pulmonary atresia with intact interventricular septum and right ventricular dependent coronary circulation. We discuss the clinical, hemodynamic, echocardiographic and angiocardiographic findings on this rare case and comment on accompanied malformations, with its possible association observed to the interstitial deletion of band q22 or q24 of the long arm of chromosome 2.

To detect in children with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) the prevalence of associated cardiac anomalies in syndromic and isolated cases, the additional cardiac defects of 150 consecutive patients with ToF (102 isolated and 48 syndromic cases) were evaluated by review of echocardiographic, angiocardiographic, and surgical reports. Syndromic patients were classified into groups with branchial arch defects, Down syndrome, and other genetic conditions. ToF is significantly associated with additional cardiac malformations in patients with branchial arch (11 of 21, p <0.
