Inherited Arrhythmias in the Pediatric Population: An Updated Overview

This review summarizes the latest evidence on genetics, clinical characteristics, management, and updated outcomes of primary pediatric CMs and electrical diseases, including DCM, HCM, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), Brugada syndrome (BrS), catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), long QT syndrome (LQTS), and short QT syndrome (SQTS).

An International Multicenter Cohort Study on Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators for the Treatment of Symptomatic Children with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia.

ICD patients had a high risk of appropriate and inappropriate shocks, which may be reduced with appropriate device programming, and risks versus benefits of ICDs need to be considered.

Outcomes of a Near-Zero Fluoroscopy and Minimally Invasive Approach in Ablation of Right Free Wall Accessory Pathways in Children

In children, a minimally invasive 3D TC ablation of RFW APs is a completely safe and quite effective approach, with better results for RAL and RL APs, poorer results for RPL APs, and no significant differences between cryoenergy and RF.

Pediatric Pacing from Proximal Right Ventricular Septum: Preserved Left Ventricular Systolic Function at Follow-Up.

In pediatric patients with CAVB, 3D-EAM-guided pacing of the proximal RV septum near the conduction system preserved LV systolic function during follow-up, and lead dysfunction occurred more frequently with NSHBP than with RVS pacing, requiring lead repositioning or replacement.

The Role of Nt-Pro-Bnp in Predicting Outcome in Pediatric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

The study showed that NTproBNP levels directly correlated to LVM and disease progression and it was found to be predictive, together with LVM, of ICD implantation.
