Purpose : Forward pulmonary blood flow may be absent in some neonates with Ebstein's anomaly by anatomical or functional pulmonary atresia in association with the elevated pulmonary vascular resistance, patent ductus arteriosus and tricuspid regurgitation. We reviewed the presentation and outcomes of symptomatic neonates with Ebstein's anomaly focusing on the pulmonary atresia.
Methods : Clinical presentation and outcome of 15 symptomatic... |

Pediatricians often encounter some electrocardiographic abnormalities in infants and children. However, treatment or referral to pediatric cardiologist is not indicated for all arrhythmias. Many of them are benign in nature. Benign arrhythmias can be defined as the arrhythmias that no serious problem currently exists and no treatment is needed. The prognosis of benign arrhythmias is so good that the condition... |

Purpose : Anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity is well known and its pathology is characterized by localized myocardial cell necrosis and myocardial fibrosis. The variability in QT interval duration amongst the different leads of the standard 12-lead ECG(QT dispersion) is considered to reflect inhomogenous repolarization of the myocardium. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of anthracycline on cardiac... |

Pulmonary artery sling with bridging bronchus is not only rare but also difficult to diagnose unless specially sought. When young infant suffers from prolonged or recurrent wheezing, possibility of underlying anomalies of the tracheobronchial trees or great vessels should be considered, even though bronchiolitis and gastroesophageal reflux are the most common causes.
We experienced four cases of pulmonary artery sling with... |

Atrial flutter is a potentially life threatening complication of repair or palliation of congenital
heart disease and is frequently drug resistant. Recent studies in human have demonstrated that
common type atrial flutter is due to macro-reentry in the right atrium and that the reentrant
circuit may involve slow conduction in the low posteroseptal area of the right atrium. Catheter
ablation of atrial flutter has... |

Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome is association of thrombocytopenia with giant hemangioma. A 20
days, male patient had thrombocytopenia, the hemangioma involved the skin of the right distal femur.
This patient was placed on combined therapy with radiation and steroid. Following the conservative
therapy, the hemangioma regressed and the platelet returned to normal range.
We presented the case with brief review of the literatures.

It is well known that chronic anemia is associated with hemodynamic alterations like increased cardiac output and stroke volume and decreased peripheral vascular resistance. Left ventricular size and function were studied by echocardiography in 16 chronic anemia patients, mainly aplastic anemia, without evidence of cardiac decompensation. Left ventricular dimension, stroke volume, ejection fraction and fractional shortening were calculated. The LV... |
