Purpose: Coronary arterial lesion assessment in children can be difficult, depending on the coronary dominance pattern. Although it is easier to determine coronary dominance with echocardiography in children than in adults, it is still difficult. This study aimed to examine the coronary dominance pattern according to the objective coronary artery (CA) indices.
Methods: The CA diameter, aortic valve annulus, and abdominal... |

Purpose Previously, Kawasaki disease (KD) treatment with low-dose aspirin was administered for 6–8 weeks after the acute phase. However, inflammatory marker levels normalize before 6–8 weeks. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical outcome of short-term low-dose aspirin treatment based on inflammatory and thrombotic marker levels. MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of the medical records of patients with KD who... |

Myocarditis represent an important condition encountered by general pediatricians & general practitioners. Its presentation is varied, and therefore a high index of suspicion must be maintained when the possibility of myocarditis is raised. A progression from viral myocarditis to dilated cardiomyopathy has long been hypothesized. Treatment is initially aimed at achieving hemodynamic stability and is largely supportive. There is currently... |

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) is rare, less than 1% of congenital heart disease. It needs a therapeutic approach according to its individual morphologic feature. Surgical treatment of valvotomy and modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or non-surgical interventional catheter balloon valvuloplasty can be used for mild to moderate hypoplasia of right ventricle. Fontan operation can be considered for less optimum... |

The traumatic ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare but potentially life threatening complication of chest wall injury. The traumatic VSD occurs in up to 4.5% of penetrating cardiac trauma. Most of the patients are usually operated on because of heart failure and/or significant left-to-right shunt. The feasibility of surgical repair under cardiopulmonary bypass may be affected by coexisting pulmonary,... |

Growth hormone receptor gene is expressed in the myocardium and growth hormone(GH) administration has been shown to increase cardiac insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-1) contents. The cardiac myocyte express IGF-I receptors and IGF-I promotes cardiac hypertrophy. Furthermore GH therapy has been reported to have beneficial effects in the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy in adults. We have studied the effect of short term... |

gastroenteric cysts are rare and of outstanding diagnostic importance, because without definitive
treatment they can be fatal. Unlike other mediastinal cysts they are almost never asymtomatic. The
