Association of Child Opportunity Index with Outcomes in Pediatric Supraventricular Tachycardia.
Pediatr Cardiol
November 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Heart Institute, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between the Child Opportunity Index (COI) and the management and outcomes of pediatric supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), focusing on ablation use over a 5.5-year period.
- Researchers analyzed data from 306 SVT patients, finding that those with a low COI had significantly higher rates of hospital admissions compared to those with a high COI, but there was no difference in ablation utilization or outcomes across COI categories.
- The results suggest that while social determinants, indicated by COI, may influence hospital resource use, they have a limited effect on treatment effectiveness for SVT patients.
Impact of growth on electrophysiological properties of ventricular pre-excitation in paediatric athletes.
Cardiol Young
November 2024
Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Arrhythmias Complex Unit, Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how the electrophysiological properties of ventricular pre-excitation change in young athletes over time, particularly when assessing their eligibility for sports participation.
- A total of 44 pediatric patients were monitored over a minimum of two years, showing significant changes in parameters such as the accessory pathway's effective refractory period during stress tests, suggesting a need for regular follow-ups.
- The findings indicate that some patients shifted their risk profiles for cardiac issues, emphasizing the necessity of repeat electrophysiological evaluations to ensure accurate risk assessments for athletic activities.
Catheter ablation in a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy: A case report and literature review.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Rationale: Preexcitation syndrome is an uncommon congenital cardiac disorder that impairs the normal cardiac conduction system. Radiofrequency ablation is one of the most effective treatments for this condition. Nevertheless, radiofrequency ablation is rare in women with preexcitation syndrome during pregnancy.

Background: Danon disease (DD) is a rare X-linked dominant lysosomal storage disorder. Studies on DD pediatric patients are limited owing to the small number of cases and challenges in early detection.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed clinical and genetic data of 29 pediatric patients who visited our hospital for treatment or genetic counselling for DD from July 2014 to December 2023.
A change in QT interval and ST-segment after radiofrequency catheter ablation in pediatric patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
J Electrocardiol
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Toyama Prefectural Central Hospital, Toyama, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- A study on pediatric patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome examined how radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) affects QT, JT intervals, and ST-segment changes.
- Out of 27 patients, those with ventricular preexcitation (manifest group) had a notably longer QT interval before RFA compared to those without it (concealed group), and their QT interval significantly shortened after the procedure.
- Although transient ST-segment changes and abnormalities were common in the manifest group post-RFA, most ECG changes normalized within one month.
