Case Report
A pediatric case of Brugada syndrome diagnosed by fever-provoked ventricular tachycardia
Geena Kim, Ye-Chan Kyung, I-Seok Kang, Jinyoung Song, June Huh, Young Keun On
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(8):374-378.   Published online August 25, 2014

Brugada syndrome is a rare channelopathy associated with the SCN5A gene that causes fatal ventricular arrhythmias. This case of Brugada syndrome, in which ventricular tachycardia (VT) was provoked by high fever, is the first report in a Korean child. The boy had retinoblastoma of his left eye diagnosed at 16 months of age. After chemotherapy, he contracted a catheter-related infection...

A Case of Repeated Ventricular Tachycardia Caused by Cardiac Rhabdomyomas in an Infant with Tuberous Sclerosis
Hee Jung Joo, Min Seob Song, Tae Gyu Hwang, Chul Ho Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(9):913-917.   Published online September 15, 2003
Cardiac rhabdomyomas are relatively uncommon and associated with tuberous sclerosis in 40-50% cases. We report a 10-month-old infant with tuberous sclerosis who presented with ventricular arrythmias and status epilepticus. There were hypopigmented macules on the body, periventricular calcifications, renal cyst and cardiac rabdomyomas just below the aortic valve. The patient required resection of left ventricular subaortic masses due to sustained...

Clinical Features and ECG Findings of Supraventricular Tachycardia in Pediatric Patients
Chang Hwan Jang, Myung Chul Hyun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(9):1012-1018.   Published online September 15, 2001
Purpose : Supraventricular tachycardia(SVT) is the most frequent symptomatic arrhythmia in children. We performed this study to disover the SVT mechanisms, age at SVT onset, symptoms and ECG findings of SVT and effect of adenosine on SVT. Methods : We studied 57 patients(male : 30, female : 27, age : 1 day-15.8 years) who had been admitted or transferred due to SVT from January,...

A Case of Ventricular Tachycardia after Chloral Hydrate Ingestion
Hye Kyung Lee, Yoon Seop Jeong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(10):1390-1394.   Published online October 15, 2000
Chloral hydrate is widely used as a sedative or hypnotic, especially in pediatric patients, but cardiac arrhythmia following chloral hydrate administration has rarely been reported in literature up to date. The most common cardiac arrhythmia is ventricular extrasystole. We describe a 17- year-old Down syndrome patient who developed a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia developed after chloral hydrate administration of 100mg/kg body...

Effucact of Adenosine Triphosphate in Infants and Children with Supraventricular Tachycardia
Yae Kyung Suh, Chung Il Noh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(3):355-363.   Published online March 15, 1992
Acute tachyarrhythmia in infancy and childhood may be life-threatening if it is not treated promptly and accurately. The selection of a safe and effective pharmacologic agent is work in hand. We tried ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to pediatric patients with acute epidsodes of supraventricular tachycardia for therapeutic or diagnostic purpose and determined the safety and effectiveness of the drug. ATP was given...

A Case of Broad QRS Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia That is Difficult to Differentiate from Ventricular Tachycardia
Hung Ki Min, Hyun Hi Kim, Jong Wan Kim, Kyung Tai Whang, Sung Hoon Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(2):257-262.   Published online February 15, 1992
A narrow QRS paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is a common dysrrhythmia and medical emergency in childhood. We experienced a case of broad QRS type paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia which was induced by transesophageal pacing technique and the morphology of the QRS complex was similar to that of ventricular tachycardia. So, We report this with a brief review and its related literatures.

Clinical study of supraventricular tachycardia in children.
Eui Kyung Chung, Yun Seok Suh, Joo Won Lee, Soon Kyum Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(6):796-804.   Published online June 30, 1991
Supraventricular tachycardia is the most symptomatic dysrhythmia encountered in infants and children. Recognition of the dysrhythmias is of great clinical importance, since increasing number of infants will develop congestive heart failure and occasionally circulatory collapse. Retrospective study was done in 17 patients with supraventricular tachycardia, who were admitted to our hospital from 1983 to 1989. The results were as follows: 1) 47 percent of our patients with...
Clinical Characteristics of Ventricular Tachycardia on 24 hour ECG in Children.
Ki Soo Kim, Young Hwue Kim, Chung Il Noh, Jung Yun Choi, Yong Soo Yoon, Chang Yee Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(7):958-964.   Published online July 31, 1989
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is uncommon, but is in increasing tendency probably due to better case detection and longer survival of the patients with complex congenital heart disease. Widespread use of 24 hour ECG has contributed a lot to better understanding of ventricular tachycardia. Fourteen cases of ventricular tachycardia diagnosed by 24 hour ECG at Seoul National Children’ s Hospital from Feb. 1986 to Sep....
Case Report
A Case of Chronic Atrial Tachycardia.
Seung Won Park, Moo Young Oh, In Soon Park, Chul Ho Kim, Soon Yong Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(9):905-908.   Published online September 30, 1983
We report a case of chronic atrial tachycardia in a 8 year-old boy. One year 3 month duration of chronic precordial palpitation is the only complaint on admission. Diagnosis was confirmed with characteristic EKG findings. Digitalis therapy was tried, but in vain. The clinical manifestations have been persistent during follow-up for 1 year 6 months since diagnosis.
