Electrocardiogram Diagnostic Department, Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Background: Lorenz plot (LP) analysis enhances the accuracy of arrhythmia diagnosis and serves as an attractive diagnostic tool for patients with arrhythmias. We explored the utility of the LP in the classification of various types of neonatal atrial tachycardia and evaluated the treatment effects and prognosis.
Methods: Ninety-six newborns with atrial tachycardia had their dynamic electrocardiograms and clinical data collected between January 2018 and June 2023.

Article Synopsis
- In a study of a family with 8 individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation (c.2482C>T), half of the female carriers experienced serious heart conditions during pregnancy.
- Four female carriers had fetal ventricular tachycardia and a specific type of heart block, while one later showed signs of a different heart issue called atrial fibrillation.
- These findings highlight the importance of thorough monitoring for pregnant women who are carriers of this mutation to ensure better health outcomes.

Multifocal ectopic purkinje-related premature contractions and related cardiomyopathy.

Department of Cardiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.
Article Synopsis
- Genetic variants in the cardiac sodium channel Na1.5 are linked to various inherited arrhythmias, including sick sinus syndrome, atrial fibrillation, and sudden cardiac death, with both loss-of-function and gain-of-function variants playing significant roles.
- The rare Multifocal Ectopic Purkinje-related Premature Contractions (MEPPC) syndrome, characterized by frequent premature contractions and often accompanied by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
- Treatment for MEPPC-related DCM is challenging, but class 1c sodium channel inhibitors like flecainide have shown positive effects, emphasizing the need for genetic screening in affected patients.
Tachy-Brady Syndrome in a Schizophrenic Patient: A Case Report.

Cardiology, Larkin Community Hospital, South Miami, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Tachy-brady syndrome results from sinus node dysfunction, leading to alternating arrhythmias, as seen in a 73-year-old male patient with significant mental health and medical issues who presented with symptoms like catatonia and paranoid delusions.
- During his hospital stay, various arrhythmias were recorded, but the patient remained asymptomatic, confirming the diagnosis of tachy-brady syndrome through telemetry monitoring.
- The treatment plan included beta-blockers and anticoagulation, and ultimately the patient received an implantable dual-chamber pacemaker to manage the risk of both bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias effectively.

Successful Explantation of Berlin Heart Excor in Two Young Children.

From the Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, Central Michigan University College of Medicine, Children's Hospital of Michigan, Detroit, Michigan.
Article Synopsis
- The Berlin Heart EXCOR ventricular assist device (VAD) is commonly used in children as a temporary support system while they wait for heart transplants, but using it to help kids recover from heart failure is less common.
- The text describes two cases of 3-month-old boys who faced severe heart failure and required ECMO and Berlin LVAD support, initially intended as a bridge to transplantation.
- Both patients showed signs of heart recovery and were successfully weaned off the VAD through a careful evaluation process, demonstrating that VAD explantation can be effective in young children with the right approach.
Article Synopsis
- Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Interatrial Septum (LHIS) is a benign condition marked by fat buildup in the heart's interatrial septum, often found incidentally during echocardiograms.
- The condition can lead to various heart rhythm issues and is more common in older, obese individuals, particularly women.
- A case study of a 73-year-old obese woman showed typical LHIS findings on echocardiography, leading to a conservative management approach after complications arose during a planned heart procedure.

Department of Cardiology, Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian, China.
Article Synopsis
- Dual atrioventricular node non-reentrant tachycardia (DAVNNRT) is a rare heart condition that can be misdiagnosed, often resembling atrial fibrillation or being mistaken for ventricular tachycardia (VT) by ICD devices.
- A 73-year-old man with ischemic heart disease experienced serious symptoms like palpitations and fainting, leading to a misdiagnosis and recurrent inappropriate shocks from his implanted defibrillator.
- Following a specialized electrophysiology study, DAVNNRT was confirmed, and successful radiofrequency ablation of the problem area resolved his symptoms, preventing any further inappropriate therapy episodes during follow-up.
Association between electrocardiographic features and mortality in COVID-19 patients.

July 2021
East Atlanta Cardiology, Decatur, GA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular issues, including arrhythmias, have been linked to COVID-19, driven by systemic inflammation, but specifics regarding their types and effects on mortality need more understanding.
- A study of 186 COVID-19 patients found that conditions like atrial fibrillation and ST-segment depression were associated with higher mortality, and those who survived exhibited different ventricular rates.
- While anticoagulation therapy appeared to lower death risk, this needs further research; overall, more extended studies are needed to investigate the causes and management of these heart conditions related to COVID-19.
