Abstract

We aimed to evaluate rhythm abnormalities in cases of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) and associated treatment strategies. This retrospective cohort study included 65 pediatric patients with ccTGA who were admitted to the clinic between 2009 and 2017. The patients were divided into two groups, and surgical data, Holter electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings, ECG recordings, electrophysiological data, and device implantation data on the two groups were compared. Group I (n = 53, 82%) consisted of patients with significant associated lesions, and Group II (n = 12, 18%) consisted of those with minor or no associated lesions (isolated ccTGA). Rhythm abnormalities were diagnosed in 22 (34%) of the patients based on initial ECG findings and Holter ECG recordings. Eleven (17%) of these patients had atrioventricular (AV) block of different degrees, and the other 11 (17%) had supraventricular arrhythmia (SVA). The median follow-up was 49 months (range, 9-89 months), and the rhythm remained normal in 26 (42%) of the patients. Three patients died on follow-up. Of 40 patients with normal initial findings, nine required pacemaker implantation due to complete heart block, and SVA developed in seven patients ...Continue Reading

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.
