Abstract
Regulatory decisions and scientific statements regarding the management of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) raise questions about the safety of medications and the appropriate pretreatment evaluation to determine suitability for treatment with medication. This is particularly true in the setting of known structural or functional heart disease. The present paper reviews the available data, including peer-reviewed literature, data from the United States Food and Drug Administration Web site on reported adverse reactions in children using stimulant medication, and Health Canada data on the same problem. A consensus-based guideline on appropriate assessment is provided, based on input from members of the Canadian Paediatric Society, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society and the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, with specific expertise and knowledge in the areas of both ADHD and paediatric cardiology. The present statement advocates a thorough history and physical examination before starting stimulant medications, with an emphasis on the identification of risk factors for sudden death, but does not routinely recommend electrocardiographic screening or cardiac sub-specialist consultation unless indicated by history or physical examination findings. A checklist for identifying children who are potentially at risk of sudden death (independent of ADHD or medications used to treat it) is provided. Although recommendations are based on the best evidence currently available, the committee further agrees that more research on this subject is necessary to optimize the approach to this common clinical scenario.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since 2008, all pediatric deaths in British Columbia have been reported to the coroner. The cause of death in pediatric sudden unexpected death (SUD) remains undetermined in 10% to 30% of cases. Before 2008, there was no standardized approach for referring relatives of SUD victims for follow-up medical testing to determine whether they were affected by the same condition. In the current era, genetic testing for primary electrical diseases can be used in cases of undetermined SUD when existing diagnostic methods fail. OBJECTIVE To improve the clinical care of surviving relatives of SUD victims, the current practice of assessment of SUD in British Columbia was reviewed. The study also aimed to determine the prevalence of SUD and sudden cardiac death, types of postmortem investigations performed in SUD, and the use of genetic testing for primary electrical diseases in SUD from 2005 to 2007. METHODS Cases involving individuals zero to 35 years of age, with a death due to natural disease or an undetermined cause were compiled from the British Columbia Coroners Service database. Cases were determined to be either sudden death due to a previously diagnosed condition or SUD. RESULTS In individuals zero to 35 years of age, the prevalence of SUD was 9.21 per 100,000 and the prevalence of sudden cardiac death was 5.26 per 100,000. There were 35 cases of SUD in which a cause of death was unidentified after autopsy (autopsy- negative SUD). Specimens were collected, and specialists were consulted in 86% of these cases in the pediatric population and 14% in the adult population. A suggestion was made to relatives to seek medical attention in 26% of the autopsy-negative SUDs, and molecular autopsy was discussed in 9% of cases but performed in none. CONCLUSION Currently, SUD in British Columbia is not managed in a way that optimizes a timely diagnosis for surviving relatives. A standardized protocol for SUD is needed to ensure optimization of diagnosis, genetic testing and referral of surviving relatives.

Abstract
Arrhythmias are commonly encountered in the paediatric intensive care unit setting, most frequently in the setting of postoperative congenital heart disease. Postoperative arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity in children in the postoperative period following cardiac surgery for congenital cardiac lesions. It is important for all paediatric critical care physicians involved in the care of these children to understand the potential mechanisms involved and how to make an accurate diagnosis. The existing literature has focused on small groups and specific arrhythmias. There is a paucity of literature to guide the clinician in approaching arrhythmias in the paediatric intensive care unit setting. Our objective was to review the recognition and diagnosis of paediatric arrhythmias in the postoperative period following congenital cardiac surgery. Timely and accurate identification of the rhythm disturbance is mandatory and allows for the institution of effective, rhythm specific management strategies.

Abstract
Supraventricular tachycardia is the most common pediatric arrhythmia, but there is no consensus and little evidence to guide its treatment. We sent a questionnaire to pediatric cardiologists in North America to assess the current practice pattern. Of 1534 surveys mailed, 352 (23%) were returned and 295 (19%) had complete data for analysis. In the acute setting, 11 different medications were chosen. The most commonly used in the infant without preexcitation were digoxin (42%), procainamide (21%), esmolol (13%), propranolol (10%), and amiodarone (8%). In the infant with preexcitation, propranolol (34%), procainamide (23%), esmolol (17%), amiodarone (11%), and digoxin (6%) were used. In the chronic setting, 8 different medications were chosen. The most commonly used in this scenario were digoxin (52%), propranolol (33%), amiodarone (4%), and sotalol (3%). In the infant with preexcitation, propranolol (70%), amiodarone (6%), digoxin (6%), atenolol (6%), and flecainide (5%) were used. Medication choices were influenced by additional electrophysiology training and preexcitation. Digoxin was used less in the setting of preexcitation. There are no comparative trials to explain the different medication choices. Although a number of medications may be efficacious, a randomized clinical trial is needed to offer further guidance.

Abstract
Atrioventricular block has been described in association with cases of long QT syndrome and mortality is increased in this subgroup. We describe an infant with congenital QT prolongation and atrioventricular block with normal cardiac function, leading to the initial diagnosis of long QT syndrome. She subsequently developed dilated cardiomyopathy requiring cardiac transplantation. We postulate that the presenting electrocardiograph abnormalities were early manifestations of the myocardial disease, preceding the development of myocardial dysfunction by several months. The need for heightened surveillance in cases of QT prolongation with atrioventricular block is amplified by the possibility of an evolving cardiomyopathy.
