Abstract
The pediatric electrophysiology literature during the past year has addressed several topics that are particularly relevant for children and other patients with congenital heart disease. This paper reviews selected studies germane to physicians and health care personnel who treat pediatric and adult congenital heart patients with arrhythmias and electrophysiologic disorders. Advances in arrhythmia diagnostics have been reported in pediatrics using loop monitoring, both external and implanted. Diagnostic criteria and risk stratification strategies have been refined for the congenital and inherited rhythm disorders such as cardiomyopathies and long QT syndrome. The use of therapeutic procedures such as catheter ablation for complex arrhythmias in congenital heart disease is discussed. Finally, a summary of articles on implanted devices in pediatrics and congenital heart disease is reviewed, including implantable defibrillators, atrial antitachycardia pacemakers, and cardiac resynchronization therapy in pediatrics. Pediatric electrophysiology is a rapidly changing field, with advances seen in diagnostic evaluation of arrhythmia, refinement of risk-stratification testing, and therapeutic options such as catheter ablation and cardia...Continue Reading
