Arrhythmias in Congenital Heart Disease

The Medical Clinics of North America
Jessica Kline, Otto Costantini

Abstract

Cardiac defects are the most common congenital defects, accounting for approximately 9 per 1000 births. Patients with structural heart disease related to congenital diseases are prone to develop intrinsic rhythm abnormalities as a result of altered physiology. In addition, they are at an increased risk of developing acquired arrhythmias secondary to the nature of surgical interventions done to improve physiologic function in the setting of these defects. Arrhythmia management and risk stratification pose particularly complex challenges to clinicians managing this population.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
