JOURNAL ARTICLE
Debbra Chong, Yan Ting Chua, Shu-Ling Chong, Gene Yong-Kwang Ong
Troponin I is a cardiac enzyme that is released during myocardial injury. However, cardiac enzymes are non-specific and can occur in many cardiac and non-cardiac pathologies. We aim to (1) describe the range of acute conditions that were associated with raised troponins in the paediatric population in our institution and (2) quantify the extent of troponin elevation and correlate it with the underlying aetiology. We performed a retrospective observational study in a tertiary institution which included patients from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2013...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Single ventricle palliation relies on the pulmonary vasculature accommodating non-pulsatile systemic venous return. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) and indexed pulmonary vascular resistance (PVRi) are two measures that impact pulmonary blood flow following bidirectional cavopulmonary connection (BCPC). The purpose of the study was to determine which hemodynamic features are associated with adverse outcomes after BCPC. Pre-operative hemodynamic data and post-operative morbidity and mortality in 250 patients undergoing BCPC at a single center from 2008 to 2014 were reviewed...

REVIEW
Yogen Singh, Cécile Tissot
The hemodynamic changes during the first few breaths after birth are probably the most significant and drastic adaptation in the human life. These changes are critical for a smooth transition of fetal to neonatal circulation. With the cord clamping, lungs take over as the source of oxygenation from placenta. A smooth transition of circulation is a complex mechanism and primarily depends upon the drop in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and increase in systemic vascular resistance (SVR). Understanding the normal transition physiology and the adverse adaptation is of utmost importance to the clinicians looking after neonates...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Rohit S Loomba, Seth B Gray, Saul Flores
INTRODUCTION: Ketamine is a drug often used for procedural sedation or as adjunct agent for general sedation in children with congenital heart disease. In the clinical realm, there is often confusion regarding the effects of ketamine on hemodynamics, particularly pulmonary vascular resistance and systemic vascular resistance. We performed a meta-analysis of studies investigating the effects of ketamine on hemodynamics. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted to identify studies characterizing the hemodynamic effects of ketamine in children with congenital heart disease...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Joshua A Daily, Elijah Bolin, Brian K Eble
Pediatric cardiologists teach complicated concepts to a diverse group of learners that include medical students, nurses, residents, fellows, patients, and parents. Unfortunately, much of what is taught is not retained. In order to increase the likelihood of long-term retention, a cardiologist should teach with both meaning and sense. The authors provide a review of these concepts and give specific examples of how to teach in ways that both make sense and are meaningful to a cardiologist's leaners.

The initial "Frontiers in Fontan Failure" conference in 2015 in Atlanta, GA, provided an opportunity for experts in the field of pediatric cardiology and adult congenital heart disease to focus on the etiology, physiology, and potential interventions for patients with "Failing Fontan" physiology. Four types of "Fontan Failure" were described and then published by Dr Book et al. The acknowledgment that even Dr Fontan himself realized that the Fontan procedure "imposed a gradually declining functional capacity and premature late death after an initial period of often excellent palliation...

A bicuspid aortic valve is not only a common congenital heart defect but also an enigmatic condition that can cause a large spectrum of diseases, such as aortic valve stenosis and severe heart failure in newborns whereas aortic dissection in adults. On the contrary, a bicuspid aortic valve can also occur with normal function throughout life and never need treatment. Numerous genetic mechanisms are involved in the abnormal cellular functions that may cause abnormal development of the aortic valve during early foetal life...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare inpatient outcomes and costs for children with respiratory syncytial virus and congenital heart disease before and after the change in management guidelines for respiratory syncytial virus prophylaxis. DESIGN: Hospital discharge data from the Vizient (formerly University HealthSystem Consortium) were queried from October 2012 to June 2014 (Era 1) and July 2014 to April 2016 (Era 2) for patients aged <24 months with an any International Classification of Disease (ICD)-9 or ICD-10 code for congenital heart disease (745-747...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Daniel De Backer, Jean-Louis Vincent
The central venous pressure (CVP) is the most frequently used variable to guide fluid resuscitation in critically ill patients, although its use has been challenged. In this viewpoint, we use a question and answer format to highlight the potential advantages and limitations of using CVP measurements to guide fluid resuscitation.

Cardiac arrest occurs at a higher rate in children with heart disease than in healthy children. Pediatric basic life support and advanced life support guidelines focus on delivering high-quality resuscitation in children with normal hearts. The complexity and variability in pediatric heart disease pose unique challenges during resuscitation. A writing group appointed by the American Heart Association reviewed the literature addressing resuscitation in children with heart disease. MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases were searched from 1966 to 2015, cross-referencing pediatric heart disease with pertinent resuscitation search terms...

#36
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Divya Suthar, Debra A Dodd, Justin Godown
There is often a diagnostic dilemma in pediatric patients presenting with depressed ventricular function, as myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) of other etiologies can appear very similar. Accurate identification is critical to guide treatment and to provide families with the most accurate expectation of long-term outcomes. The objective of this study was to identify patterns of clinical presentation and to assess non-invasive measures to differentiate patients with acute myocarditis from other forms of DCM...

BACKGROUND: Junctional ectopic tachycardia is a serious arrhythmia that frequently occurs after tetralogy of Fallot repair. Arrhythmia prophylaxis is not feasible for all pediatric cardiac surgery patients and identification of high risk patients is required. The objectives of this study were to characterize patients with JET, identify its predictors and subsequent complications and the effect of various treatment strategies on the outcomes in selected TOF patients undergoing total repair before 2 years of age...

REVIEW
Josep Brugada, Oscar Campuzano, Elena Arbelo, Georgia Sarquella-Brugada, Ramon Brugada
The Brugada syndrome is an inherited disorder associated with risk of ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death in a structurally normal heart. Diagnosis is based on a characteristic electrocardiographic pattern (coved type ST-segment elevation ≥2 mm followed by a negative T-wave in ≥1 of the right precordial leads V1 to V2 ), observed either spontaneously or during a sodium-channel blocker test. The prevalence varies among regions and ethnicities, affecting mostly males...

REVIEW
Subodh R Devabhaktuni, Eyas Chakfeh, Ali O Malik, Joshua A Pengson, Jibran Rana, Chowdhury H Ahsan
Subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) is one of the common adult congenital heart diseases, with a prevalence of 6.5%. It is usually diagnosed in the first decade of life. Echocardiography is the test of choice to diagnose SAS. Surgical correction is the best treatment modality, and the prognosis is usually excellent. In this review, we describe the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prognosis, and management of SAS with a focus on different pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnostic approach, and prognosis of the disease by reviewing the current literature...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Edon J Rabinowitz, David B Meyer, Priya Kholwadwala, Nina Kohn, Adnan Bakar
Post-pericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) is an inflammatory process involving the pleura, pericardium, or both and occurs after cardiothoracic surgery. Surgical atrial septal defect (ASD) closure is associated with higher incidence of PPS post-operatively as compared to other operations. Reported incidence of PPS varies from 1 to 40%. NSAIDs are often used to treat PPS and in our center, some practitioners have prescribed ibuprofen prophylactically. This study sought to investigate the impact of prophylactic treatment with ibuprofen on the development and severity of PPS following surgical ASD closure, with particular attention to secundum-type ASDs...
