Menon D, Aggarwal S, Kadiu G, Zelin KM, Karpawich PP. Assessing Non-invasive Studies to Evaluate Resynchronization Pacing Effectiveness in the Young. Pediatr Cardiol 2024; 45:867-875. [PMID: 36063175 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-022-02996-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Appropriate non-invasive assessments (ECHO/ECG) of cardiac resynchronization pacing therapy (CRT) among younger patients (pts) with/without (w/wo) congenital heart disease (CHD) are not established. Ejection fraction (EF) and QRS can be unreliable due to anatomy, surgical repairs, and pre-existing pacemakers (PM). This study correlates updated non-invasive studies, including newer strain values, with clinical and invasive hemodynamic assessments of CRT response in the young. Sixteen pts (mean age 18.5 ± 6 years, 10/16 with pre-existing pacemakers) underwent CRT for heart failure (NYHA II-III). CHD included septal defects and Tetralogy of Fallot. Assessment of CRT efficacy was based on clinical findings, direct catheterization studies [pressures, contractility indices (dP/dt-max)], ECG changes, and ECHO studies [including updated global (GLS), left atrial strain (LAS), and sphericity indices] pre- and at 1-month and 1-year post-CRT. After 1 year following CRT, all pts improved (II-III to I-II) in clinical NYHA status. Contractility (dP/dt) increased (932 ± 351 vs 561 ± 178.7 mmHg-sec [p = 0.001]). QRS duration shortened only among pts with pre-existing PM (160 ± 25 vs 134 ± 25 ms [p = 0.02]). Standard ECHO parameters, including chamber dimensions and EF, showed no appreciable changes from pre-CRT values. However, endocardial GLS [(- 6.4 vs. - 9.6%) p = 0.0003] and LAS [(- 5.8 vs - 9.3%) p = 0.02] values significantly improved. Although CRT is applicable to younger pts, accurate non-invasive evaluations of response are lacking. This study establishes that newer strain values better correlate with clinical and hemodynamic changes over other parameters and offer more appropriate assessments of CRT response.

Long-Term Outcomes of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Multicenter Study. Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol 2024; 17:e012363. [PMID: 38344811 DOI: 10.1161/circep.123.012363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing number of patients with tetralogy of Fallot develop left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure, in addition to right ventricular dysfunction. Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment option, the effect of CRT in this population is still not well defined. This study aimed to investigate the early and late efficacy, survival, and safety of CRT in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. METHODS Data were analyzed from an observational, retrospective, multicenter cohort, initiated jointly by the Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society and the International Society of Adult Congenital Heart Disease. Twelve centers contributed baseline and longitudinal data, including vital status, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), QRS duration, and NYHA functional class. Outcomes were analyzed at early (3 months), intermediate (1 year), and late follow-up (≥2 years) after CRT implantation. RESULTS A total of 44 patients (40.3±19.2 years) with tetralogy of Fallot and CRT were enrolled. Twenty-nine (65.9%) patients had right ventricular pacing before CRT upgrade. The left ventricular ejection fraction improved from 32% [24%-44%] at baseline to 42% [32%-50%] at early follow-up (P<0.001) and remained improved from baseline thereafter (P≤0.002). The QRS duration decreased from 180 [160-205] ms at baseline to 152 [133-182] ms at early follow-up (P<0.001) and remained decreased at intermediate and late follow-up (P≤0.001). Patients with upgraded CRT had consistent improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction and QRS duration at each time point (P≤0.004). Patients had a significantly improved New York Heart Association functional class after CRT implantation at each time point compared with baseline (P≤0.002). The transplant-free survival rates at 3, 5, and 8 years after CRT implantation were 85%, 79%, and 73%. CONCLUSIONS In patients with tetralogy of Fallot treated with CRT consistent improvement in QRS duration, left ventricular ejection fraction, New York Heart Association functional class, and reasonable long-term survival were observed. The findings from this multicenter study support the consideration of CRT in this unique population.

Abstract
Conduction system pacing involving either His bundle pacing (HBP) or left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a modality that has been introduced as a safe and effective alternative to right ventricular (RV) pacing to help prevent pacemaker-associated cardiomyopathy. While HBP has been employed in the pediatric and congenital populations, several small studies have shown LBBP to be safe and effective in the pediatric population. We present a patient with congenital atrioventricular block and postoperative ventricular septal defect repair cardiomyopathy with subsequent left ventricular function improvement following a transition from an RV epicardial pacemaker system to an LBBP system. This case report serves as a foundation for a review of the current state of LBBP in pediatrics and congenital heart disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a standard treatment for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, there is still a gap of evidence in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients regarding resynchronization therapy. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis and systematic review of CHD patients who received CRT implantation. We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane database from inception to June 2023. Studies that reported response rate to CRT, total mortality rate, change in QRS duration, change in left ventricular ejection fraction, and change in New York Heart Association functional class were included. RESULTS A total of 14 studies were included in the study. There were 10 studies that reported response rates after implantation. The overall response rate to CRT in CHD patients was 68% (95% confidence interval [CI] 61%-75%, I2 32%). The response rates in patients with systemic right ventricle (RV), systemic left ventricle (LV), and single ventricle were 58% (95% CI 46%-70%, I2 0%), 80% (95% CI 74%-86% I2 14%), and 67% (95% CI 49%-80% I2 0%). Response to CRT in systemic RV was inferior to systemic LV with an odds ratio of 0.38 (95% CI 0.15-0.95, I2 38%). The total mortality rate from seven studies was 12% (95% CI 8%-18%, I2 55%). The parameters which represented ventricular dyssynchrony improved after CRT implantation. CONCLUSION The overall response rate to CRT in CHD was 68%. Patients with systemic RV had a lower response rate to CRT when compared to patients with systemic LV. The total mortality rate after CRT implantation was 12%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence for the efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in pediatric and congenital heart disease (CHD) has been limited to surrogate outcomes. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the impact of CRT upon the risk of transplantation or death in a retrospective, high-risk, controlled cohort at 5 quaternary referral centers. METHODS Both CRT patients and control patients were <21 years of age or had CHD; had systemic ventricular ejection fraction <45%; symptomatic heart failure; and significant electrical dyssynchrony (QRS duration z score >3 or single-site ventricular pacing >40%) at enrollment. Patients with CRT were matched with control patients via 1:1 propensity score matching. CRT patients were enrolled at CRT implantation; control patients were enrolled at the outpatient clinical encounter where inclusion criteria were first met. The primary endpoint was transplantation or death. RESULTS In total, 324 control patients and 167 CRT recipients were identified. Mean follow-up was 4.2 ± 3.7 years. Upon propensity score matching, 139 closely matched pairs were identified (20 baseline indices). Of the 139 matched pairs, 52 (37.0%) control patients and 31 (22.0%) CRT recipients reached the primary endpoint. On both unadjusted and multivariable Cox regression analysis, the risk reduction associated with CRT for the primary endpoint was significant (HR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.25-0.64; P < 0.001; and HR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.28-0.71; P = 0.001, respectively). On longitudinal assessment, the CRT group had significantly improved systemic ventricular ejection fraction (P < 0.001) and shorter QRS duration (P = 0.015), sustained to 5 years. CONCLUSIONS In pediatric and CHD patients with symptomatic systolic heart failure and electrical dyssynchrony, CRT was associated with improved heart transplantation-free survival.

Abstract
Heart failure in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) stems from unique causes compared with the elderly. Patients with CHD face structural abnormalities and malformations present from birth, leading to altered cardiac function and potential complications. In contrast, elderly individuals primarily experience heart failure due to age-related changes and underlying cardiovascular conditions. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can benefit patients with CHD, although it presents numerous challenges. The complexities of CHD anatomy and limited access to appropriate venous sites for lead placement make CRT implantation demanding.

Abstract
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for congenital heart disease has shown promising suucess as an adjunct to medical therapy for heart failure. While cardiac conduction defects and need for ventricular pacing are common in congential heart disease, CRT indications, techniques and long term outcomes have not been well establaished. This is a review of the techniques nad short term outcomes of CRT for the following complex congenital heart disease conditions: single ventricle physiology, systemic right ventricle, and the subpulmonic right ventricle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventricular dyssynchrony and its relationship to clinical outcomes is not well characterized in patients following Fontan palliation. METHODS Single-center retrospective analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging of patients with a Fontan circulation and an age-matched healthy comparison cohort as controls. Feature tracking was performed on all slices of a ventricular short-axis cine stack. Circumferential and radial strain, strain rate, and displacement were measured; and multiple dyssynchrony metrics were calculated based on timing of these measurements (including standard deviation of time-to-peak, maximum opposing wall delay, and maximum base-to-apex delay). Primary endpoint was a composite measure including time to death, heart transplant or heart transplant listing (D/HTx). RESULTS A total of 503 cases (15 y; IQR 10, 21) and 42 controls (16 y; IQR 11, 20) were analyzed. Compared to controls, Fontan patients had increased dyssynchrony metrics, longer QRS duration, larger ventricular volumes, and worse systolic function. Dyssynchrony metrics were higher in patients with right ventricular (RV) or mixed morphology compared to those with LV morphology. At median follow-up of 4.3 years, 11% had D/HTx. Multiple risk factors for D/HTx were identified, including RV morphology, ventricular dilation, dysfunction, QRS prolongation, and dyssynchrony. Ventricular dilation and RV morphology were independently associated with D/HTx. CONCLUSIONS Compared to control LVs, single right and mixed morphology ventricles in the Fontan circulation exhibit a higher degree of mechanical dyssynchrony as evaluated by CMR-FT. Dyssynchrony indices correlate with ventricular size and function and are associated with death or need for heart transplantation. These data add to the growing understanding regarding factors that can be used to risk-stratify patients with the Fontan circulation.

Abstract
Cardiac physiologic pacing (CPP), encompassing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and conduction system pacing (CSP), has emerged as a pacing therapy strategy that may mitigate or prevent the development of heart failure (HF) in patients with ventricular dyssynchrony or pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. This clinical practice guideline is intended to provide guidance on indications for CRT for HF therapy and CPP in patients with pacemaker indications or HF, patient selection, pre-procedure evaluation and preparation, implant procedure management, follow-up evaluation and optimization of CPP response, and use in pediatric populations. Gaps in knowledge, pointing to new directions for future research, are also identified.

Heart Rhythm 2023; 20:e17-e91. [PMID: 37283271 PMCID: PMC11062890 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2023.03.1538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 85] [Impact Index Per Article: 85.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Cardiac physiologic pacing (CPP), encompassing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and conduction system pacing (CSP), has emerged as a pacing therapy strategy that may mitigate or prevent the development of heart failure (HF) in patients with ventricular dyssynchrony or pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. This clinical practice guideline is intended to provide guidance on indications for CRT for HF therapy and CPP in patients with pacemaker indications or HF, patient selection, pre-procedure evaluation and preparation, implant procedure management, follow-up evaluation and optimization of CPP response, and use in pediatric populations. Gaps in knowledge, pointing to new directions for future research, are also identified.

Bevilacqua F, Pasqualin G, Ferrero P, Micheletti A, Negura DG, D'Aiello AF, Giamberti A, Chessa M. Overview of Long-Term Outcome in Adults with Systemic Right Ventricle and Transposition of the Great Arteries: A Review. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2205. [PMID: 37443599 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13132205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The population of patients with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) in biventricular circulation includes those who have undergone an atrial switch operation for destro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) and those with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA). Despite the life expectancy of these patients is significantly increased, the long-term prognosis remains suboptimal due to late complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and premature death. These patients, therefore, need a close follow-up to early identify predictive factors of adverse outcomes and to implement all preventive therapeutic strategies. This review analyzes the late complications of adult patients with an sRV and TGA and clarifies which are risk factors for adverse prognosis and which are the therapeutic strategies that improve the long-term outcomes. For prognostic purposes, it is necessary to monitor sRV size and function, the tricuspid valve regurgitation, the functional class, the occurrence of syncope, the QRS duration, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels, and the development of arrhythmias. Furthermore, pregnancy should be discouraged in women with risk factors. Tricuspid valve replacement/repair, biventricular pacing, and implantable cardioverter defibrillator are the most important therapeutic strategies that have been shown, when used correctly, to improve long-term outcomes.

Abstract
d-loop transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) and congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (cc-TGA) feature a right ventricle attempting to sustain the systemic circulation. A systemic right ventricle (sRV) cannot support cardiac output in the long run, eventually decompensating and causing heart failure. The burden of d-TGA patients with previous atrial switch repair and cc-TGA patients with heart failure will only increase in the coming years due to the aging adult congenital heart disease population and improvements in the management of advanced heart failure. Clinical data still lags behind in developing evidence-based guidelines for risk stratification and management of sRV patients, and clinical trials for heart failure in these patients are underrepresented. Recent studies have provided foundational data for the commencement of robust clinical trials in d-TGA and cc-TGA patients. Further insights into the multifactorial nature of sRV failure can only be provided by the results of such studies. This review discusses the mechanisms of heart failure in sRV patients with biventricular circulation and how these mediators may be targeted clinically to alleviate sRV failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for heart failure. However, in pediatric and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients, current adult indications cannot be directly applied because of heterogeneity in anatomy and diagnosis. Therefore, CRT responses and clinical outcomes in these patients were investigated to derive possible candidates for CRT. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 16 pediatric and CHD patients who underwent CRT implantation at a single center in early (0.7±0.2 year) and late (4.7±0.3 years) follow-up period after CRT. RESULTS The median age at CRT implantation was 2.5 (0.3-37.2) years, and median follow-up duration was 6.3 (0.1-13.6) years. Thirteen had non-transvenous CRT. Two had congenital complete atrioventricular (AV) block with previous right ventricular pacing, 5 had dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with left bundle branch block, and 9 had CHD. The mean ejection fraction of the systemic ventricle increased from 28.1±10.0% to 44.3±21.0% (p=0.003) in early and 51.8±16.3% (p=0.012) in late outcome. The mean functional class improved from 3.1±0.9 to 1.8±1.1 after CRT (p=0.003). Twelve patients (75%) showed improvement in ventricular function or functional class after CRT. Proportion of responders differed between patients without CHD (2/2 patients with complete AV block and 5/5 with DCM, 100%) and those with CHD (5/9, 56%), although statistical significance was not reached (p=0.088). CONCLUSIONS CRT improved ventricular function and functional status according to the underlying condition in pediatric and CHD patients. However, further large and longer-term studies are needed to establish the guideline for the patient selection of CRT in these patients.

[PMID: 36433719 DOI: 10.1111/echo.15484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Objective right ventricular (RV) systolic function assessment is attained using a series of well-described and validated echo-Doppler measurements. However, how left ventricular (LV) systolic function influences these RV functional measurements has not been previously studied. Consequently, we conducted a retrospective proof-of-concept analysis to answer this important question. METHODS A total of 100 echocardiographic studies were included and patients were divided into two groups according to their LV ejection fraction (LVEF). The following RV variables were acquired including, tricuspid annular systolic plane excursion (TAPSE), velocity of the systolic motion (TA TDI s'), RV outflow tract velocity time integral (VTI), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and the TAPSE to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) ratio. RESULTS Not only TAPSE, TA DI s', RVOT VTI, PVR, and TAPSE/PASP were all significantly different between patients with normal versus abnormal LVEF; but most importantly, RVOT VTI (p < .0001) was the best discriminatory variable in assessing normal versus abnormal LVEF followed by TAPSE (p = .0001). Using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, an RVOT VTI value > 11 identified patients with a normal LVEF with a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 76%. CONCLUSION Based on our results, reduced LVEF affects the RV, likely mediated by mechanisms of interventricular dependence. Therefore, RV analysis cannot be performed in isolation as it not only reflects intrinsic RV systolic function but also, is dependent on LV systolic function. In cases of reduced LVEF, additional measures of RV assessment should be used to provide better objective assessments.

Abstract
Adult studies have shown that depolarization and repolarization abnormalities are associated with worsening heart failure; however, this relationship is not well understood in pediatric congenital heart disease. We evaluated the association between QTc and QRS duration to systolic function and outcome in children with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We performed a retrospective, single-center, 14-year cohort study of HFrEF children. Clinical records, echocardiograms, and electrocardiograms were reviewed for every clinical encounter. Diagnosis, interventions, outcomes, QRS and QTc duration, and systolic function were collected. Repeated-measure ANOVA evaluated the association between depolarization and repolarization to cardiac function. Cox regression analysis examined the effects of age, time since diagnosis, and measured and change in QTc and QRS duration on time to transplant/death. We enrolled 136 cardiomyopathy (CM) and 47 structural heart disease (SHD) patients. Prolonged QRS (p = 0.0001) and QTc (p = 0.02) were associated with systolic dysfunction. This association was significant in SHD group (QRS p < 0.0001, QTc p = 0.048), but not CM group (QRS p = 0.5, QTc p = 0.3). Progressive lengthening of QTc was significantly associated with transplant or death in the overall cohort (HR 1.02, CI 1.011-1.028), SHD, (HR 1.020, CI 1.001-1.039), and CM (HR 1.017, CI 1.007-1.027). QTc and QRS prolongation are each associated with ventricular dysfunction in pediatric SHD with heart failure. QTc prolongation is an indication for poor outcomes in SHD and CM groups, leading to a higher risk of death or transplantation. Progressive lengthening of QTc over time in children with HFrEF may indicate increased risk in this population.

Abstract
Background
The objective of this international multicenter study was to investigate both early and late outcomes of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with a systemic right ventricle (SRV) and to identify predictors for congestive heart failure readmissions and mortality.
Methods and Results
This retrospective international multicenter study included 13 centers. The study population comprised 80 adult patients with SRV (48.9% women) with a mean age of 45±14 (range, 18–77) years at initiation of CRT. Median follow‐up time was 4.1 (25th–75th percentile, 1.3–8.3) years. Underlying congenital heart disease consisted of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and dextro‐transposition of the great arteries in 63 (78.8%) and 17 (21.3%) patients, respectively. CRT resulted in significant improvement in functional class (before CRT: III, 25th–75th percentile, II–III; after CRT: II, 25th–75th percentile, II–III;
P
=0.005) and QRS duration (before CRT: 176±27; after CRT: 150±24 milliseconds;
P
=0.003) in patients with pre‐CRT ventricular pacing who underwent an upgrade to a CRT device (n=49). These improvements persisted during long‐term follow‐up with a marginal but significant increase in SRV function (before CRT; 30%, 25th–75th percentile, 25–35; after CRT: 31%, 25th–75th percentile, 21–38;
P
=0.049). In contrast, no beneficial change in the above‐mentioned variables was observed in patients who underwent de novo CRT (n=31). A quarter of all patients were readmitted for heart failure during follow‐up, and mortality at latest follow‐up was 21.3%.
Conclusions
This international experience with CRT in patients with an SRV demonstrated that CRT in selected patients with SRV dysfunction and pacing‐induced dyssynchrony yielded consistent improvement in QRS duration and New York Heart Association functional status, with a marginal increase in SRV function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyssynchrony-associated left ventricular systolic dysfunction is a major contributor to heart failure in congenital heart disease (CHD). Although conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has shown benefit, the comparative efficacy of cardiac conduction system pacing (CSP) is unknown. OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical outcomes of CSP vs conventional CRT in CHD with biventricular, systemic left ventricular anatomy. METHODS Retrospective CSP data from 7 centers were compared with propensity score-matched conventional CRT control subjects. Outcomes were lead performance, change in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and QRS duration at 12 months. RESULTS A total of 65 CSP cases were identified (mean age 37 ± 21 years, 46% men). The most common CHDs were tetralogy of Fallot (n = 12 [19%]) and ventricular septal defect (n = 12 [19%]). CSP was achieved after a mean of 2.5 ± 1.6 attempts per procedure (38 patients with left bundle branch pacing, 17 with HBP, 10 with left ventricular septal myocardial). Left bundle branch area pacing [LBBAP] vs HBP was associated with a smaller increase in pacing threshold (Δ pacing threshold 0.2 V vs 0.8 V; P = 0.05) and similar sensing parameters at follow-up. For 25 CSP cases and control subjects with baseline left ventricular systolic dysfunction, improvement in LVEF was non-inferior (Δ LVEF 9.0% vs 6.0%; P = 0.3; 95% confidence limits: -2.9% to 10.0%) and narrowing of QRS duration was more pronounced for CSP (Δ QRS duration 35 ms vs 14 ms; P = 0.04). Complications were similar (3 [12%] CSP, 4 [16%] conventional CRT; P = 1.00). CONCLUSIONS CSP can be reliably achieved in biventricular, systemic left ventricular CHD patients with similar improvement in LVEF and greater QRS narrowing for CSP vs conventional CRT at 1 year. Among CSP patients, pacing electrical parameters were superior for LBBAP vs HBP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) have different developmental origins, which likely plays a role in their chamber-specific response to physiological and pathological stress. RV dysfunction is encountered frequently in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and right heart abnormalities emerge from different causes than increased afterload alone as is observed in RV dysfunction due to pulmonary hypertension (PH). In this review, we describe the developmental, structural, and functional differences between ventricles while highlighting emerging therapies for RV dysfunction. RECENT FINDINGS There are new insights into the role of fibrosis, inflammation, myocyte contraction, and mitochondrial dynamics in the pathogenesis of RV dysfunction. We discuss the current state of therapies that may potentially improve RV function in both experimental and clinical trials. A clearer understanding of the differences in molecular alterations in the RV compared to the LV may allow for the development of better therapies that treat RV dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is increasing worldwide. Almost all congenital cardiac lesions can be successfully treated due to the progress in neonatal surgery and pediatric cardiology with a high likelihood of surviving until adulthood. However, ACHD frequently develop sequelae related to the initial cardiac anomaly. Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common complications associated with a high morbidity and mortality. METHODS The authors did search the PubMed database regarding relevant content covering publications up to March 2022. Relevant manuscripts were classified according to the impact factor of the journal, being a guideline manuscript, a position paper by a society or a comprehensive review of the current literature. KEY CONTENT AND FINDINGS Optimal HF treatment remains an unmet need in ACHD. In particular, advanced HF therapy with cardiac resynchronization therapy, ventricular assist devices or organ transplantation is still very different and more specific in ACHD compared to non-ACHD. This review aims to compile international views and evidence from the literatures on the treatment of advanced HF in ACHD. Current challenges, but also the success of different treatment strategies in ACHD are illustrated by clinical cases. CONCLUSIONS The main finding of the review is that data is still scarce regarding ACHD with advanced HF and international efforts to collect data regarding these patients needed to improve the current standard of care.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to explore the historical and serendipitous events that led to the creation of modern-day pacemakers. In addition, this review will explore how contemporary conduction site-specific pacing has overcome some of the deleterious effects from historical chronic right ventricular apical pacing. RECENT FINDINGS Recently, there have been tremendous advances in not just the lead design but the tools required to promote more physiologic pacing. Although cardiac resynchronization pacing has been around for nearly 2 decades, this review also introduces and discusses the early results of His-bundle pacing and left bundle branch pacing and some of the potential applicability of this technology for our children. SUMMARY Pacemakers have evolved significantly in the last 30 years through collaborative partnerships between physicians and engineers. The future of cardiac pacing is bright compared to the field of electrotherapy 50 years ago. Future iterations of pacemakers must consider unusual anatomy and growing children. Pediatric patients contribute to a small percentage of the overall device volume, but the majority of these patients will have a pacemaker for life. We need to be proactive and consider what are the best short and long-term solutions for this cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palliation of the single ventricle (SV) circulation is associated with a burden of lifelong complications. Previous studies have identified that the need for a permanent ventricular pacing system (PPMv) may be associated with additional adverse long-term outcomes. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to quantify the attributable risk of PPMv in patients with SV, and to identify modifiable risk factors. METHODS This international study was sponsored by the Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society. Centers contributed baseline and longitudinal data for functionally SV patients with PPMv. Enrollment was at implantation. Controls were matched 1:1 to PPMv subjects by ventricular morphology and sex, identified within center, and enrolled at matched age. Primary outcome was transplantation or death. RESULTS In total, 236 PPMv subjects and 213 matched controls were identified (22 centers, 9 countries). Median age at enrollment was 5.3 years (quartiles: 1.5-13.2 years), follow-up 6.9 years (3.4-11.6 years). Median percent ventricular pacing (Vp) was 90.8% (25th-75th percentile: 4.3%-100%) in the PPMv cohort. Across 213 matched pairs, multivariable HR for death/transplant associated with PPMv was 3.8 (95% CI 1.9-7.6; P < 0.001). Within the PPMv population, higher Vp (HR: 1.009 per %; P = 0.009), higher QRS z-score (HR: 1.19; P = 0.009) and nonapical lead position (HR: 2.17; P = 0.042) were all associated with death/transplantation. CONCLUSIONS PPMv in patients with SV is associated with increased risk of heart transplantation and death, despite controlling for increased associated morbidity of the PPMv cohort. Increased Vp, higher QRS z-score, and nonapical ventricular lead position are all associated with higher risk of adverse outcome and may be modifiable risk factors.

Abstract
As a result of remarkable progress in operative techniques and cardiology care during childhood, Fontan patients continue to age and require team-based multidisciplinary expertise to manage complications encountered in adulthood. They face particular challenges in terms of altered hemodynamic stressors, cardiac and hepatic failure, and arrhythmias. Arrhythmias in Fontan patients are highly prevalent and associated with underlying anatomy, surgical technique, and postoperative sequelae. Diagnostic tools, treatments, and device strategies for arrhythmias in Fontan patients should be adapted to the specific anatomy, type of surgical repair, and clinical status. Great strides in our understanding of arrhythmia mechanisms, options and techniques to obtain access to relevant cardiac structures, and application of both old and new technologies have contributed to improving cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapies for this unique population. In this state-of-the-art review, we discuss the various arrhythmias encountered in Fontan patients, their diagnosis, and options for treatment and prevention, with a focus on CIEDs. Throughout, access challenges particular to the Fontan circulation are considered. Recently developed technologies, such as the sub-cutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator carry the potential to be transformative but require awareness of Fontan-specific issues. Moreover, new leadless pacing technology represents a promising strategy that may soon become applicable to Fontan patients with sinus node dysfunction. CIEDs are essential tools in managing Fontan patients but the complex clinical scenarios that arise in this patient population are among the most challenging for the congenital electrophysiologist.

Abstract
Background: Congenital heart pathology has a significant burden regarding morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. Several transcatheter interventions and devices have been designed as an alternative to surgical repair. Percutaneous interventions have been proven to yield good results in most cases but with less stress and trauma than that attributed to surgical treatment, especially in frail pediatric patients. We aimed to review the literature and to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of transcatheter interventions and implantable devices for congenital heart disease management in children. Methods: We performed a search in Scopus and MEDLINE databases using prespecified keywords to retrieve clinical studies published between 2000 and 2021. Results: This article provides an up-to-date review regarding the applicability of interventional techniques in simple inter-atrial or inter-ventricular defects, and in challenging congenital defects, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, tetralogy of Fallot, or coronary artery fistula. Furthermore, we reviewed recent indications for defibrillator and cardiac resynchronization therapy, and new and promising devices currently being tested. Conclusion: Transcatheter treatment represents a feasible and efficient alternative to surgical repair of congenital heart defects. Novel devices could extend the indications and possibilities of percutaneous interventions in pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although patients with systemic right ventricle (SRV) represent a significant proportion of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) implanted with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), there are limited and conflicting data in this specific patient group. OBJECTIVE We aimed to analyze outcomes of patients with SRV implanted with a CRT device. METHODS Data were analyzed from an observational, retrospective, multicenter cohort study including all patients with CHD implanted with a CRT device from 6 French centers from 2004 to 2020. Response to CRT was defined as an increase in systemic ventricular ejection fraction of ≥10% and/or an improvement in New York Heart Association functional class by at least 1 grade. RESULTS A total of 85 patients with CHD were enrolled (mean age 39.8 ± 20.0 years; 55 [64.7%] males; 25 defibrillators [29.4%]), including 31 patients with SRV (36.5%) (mean age 43.9 ± 19.8 years; 16 [51.6%] males). The mean change in QRS duration after implantation was similar as compared with patients with systemic left ventricle (-46 ± 26 ms vs -35 ± 32 ms; P = .16). During a mean follow-up of 5.1 ± 3.5 years, late complications included 2 lead dysfunctions (6.5%), 3 CRT-related infections (9.7%), and 1 inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shock (3.2%). The proportion of CRT responders at 6, 12, and 24 months were 82.6%, 80.0%, and 77.8% in patients with SRV vs 66.7%, 64.3%, and 69.6% in patients with systemic left ventricle (P = NS). CONCLUSION In this multicenter cohort, one-third of patients with CHD implanted with a CRT device had SRV. CRT in patients with SRV was associated with a high rate of responders, comparable to that of patients with systemic left ventricle.

Abstract
Arrhythmias and heart failure are among the most common complications encountered by adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). In this contemporary review, we explore the interactions between arrhythmias and heart failure and discuss management strategies. Major knowledge gaps are highlighted throughout. Interactions between arrhythmias and heart failure are complex and bidirectional, with one begetting the other. Arrhythmias can provoke heart failure through various mechanisms: conduction disturbances may contribute to inefficient ventricular filling and contraction patterns; bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias can result in a reduction in cardiac output; hypoxemia may be exacerbated by right-to-left shunting; and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy has potentially devastating consequences if the diagnosis is delayed. In turn, heart failure promotes arrhythmogenesis through various structural (eg, fibrosis, chamber dilation, hypertrophy) and electrical remodeling effects that include changes to ion currents and channels and connexin expression, along with shortening of atrial and ventricular refractory periods with increased heterogeneity. Several shared comorbidities can contribute to, and modulate the impact of, arrhythmias and heart failure. Preemptive arrhythmia management can potentially mitigate effects on heart failure exacerbations. Similarly, optimal heart failure control could curtail its impact on arrhythmogenesis. Treatment strategies to prevent or treat heart failure in adults with CHD encompass pharmacological agents, catheter ablation, and device therapies including defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and His bundle pacing. High-priority research avenues with major knowledge gaps include tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, defibrillator indications in high-risk subsets, and the role of cardiac resynchronization therapy and His bundle pacing in diverse forms of CHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for and prognostic implications of progressive right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVD) in adults with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries. BACKGROUND There are no effective therapies for RVD; hence the need to identify and modify risk factors for progressive RVD. METHODS RV systolic function was assessed by using RV longitudinal strain (RV-LS). The first echocardiogram (baseline echocardiogram) and all subsequent annual echocardiograms performed within 5 years from the baseline echocardiogram were analyzed. Progressive RVD (temporal decline in RV-LS) was assessed as the average annual change in RV-LS within 5 years of imaging follow-up. RESULTS Of 186 patients (mean age 40 ± 12 years), the RV-LS at baseline was -17% ± 4%, and the annual decline in RV-LS was -4% (95% CI: -6 to -2). The risk factors for progressive RVD were left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, LV pacing, and systemic hypertension. Cardiovascular events (heart failure hospitalization, heart transplant, and death) occurred in 57 (27%) patients. Progressive RVD was associated with cardiovascular events, independent of RV systolic function at baseline. In subgroup analyses assessing impact of therapies (medical therapy, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and tricuspid valve replacement), only tricuspid valve replacement was associated with improvement in RV systolic function when performed before onset of RVD. CONCLUSIONS Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries were at risk for progressive RVD, and the risk factors for progressive RVD were LV pacing, systemic hypertension, and concomitant LV dysfunction. Further studies are required to determine whether strict blood pressure control and early tricuspid valve replacement will prevent progressive RVD.

Abstract
Complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) is a total dissociation between the atrial and ventricular activity, in the absence of atrioventricular conduction. Several diseases may result in CAVB in the pediatric and young-adult population. Permanent right ventricular (RV) pacing is required in permanent CAVB, when the cause is neither transient nor reversible. Continuous RV apical pacing has been associated with unfavorable outcomes in several studies due to the associated ventricular dyssynchrony. This study aims to summarize the current literature regarding CAVB in the pediatric and young adult population and to explore future treatment perspectives.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is a potential complication of chronic right ventricular (RV) pacing, but its characterization in adult patients is often complicated by pre-existing cardiomyopathy. This study investigated the incidence of PICM in patients with congenital heart block (cHB) who have conduction disease from birth without confounding pre-existing cardiac conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective cohort analysis included 42 patients with cHB and baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess freedom from cardiomyopathy (defined as LVEF <50%) between paced and nonpaced patients. Patients were 26 ± 3 years old at first presentation, 64% were women and baseline LVEF was 60.0 ± 0.2%. Median follow-up from birth was 35 (interquartile range [IQR]: 20-42) years with a median of 6.7 years (IQR: 3.6-9.2) at our institution. Thirty-two patients received pacing at mean age 21 ± 3 years. Patients receiving a pacemaker (PM) were significantly more likely to develop a cardiomyopathy (p = .021) and no patient developed a cardiomyopathy in the absence of a PM. Four patients who developed a new cardiomyopathy were upgraded to biventricular pacing, leading to stabilization or improvement of LVEF. CONCLUSION In a relatively young and healthy cHB cohort, RV pacing is associated with a higher risk of developing a cardiomyopathy. These data confirm the deleterious effects of RV pacing on myocardial function in patients without pre-existing structural cardiac disease and has clinical implications to the management of patients with cHB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) for assessing ventricular systolic dysfunction and dyssynchrony in children with an functional single right ventricle (FSRV) having undergone the Fontan procedure. METHODS Twenty-five children with an FSRV and 25 healthy children were enrolled in our study. RV volume analysis was performed compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the reference standard in FSRV patients. The patients were divided into wide and narrow QRS interval groups. Global and regional functions of the RV in three compartments (inflow, body, and outflow) were compared between FSRV and control subjects, including RV systolic dyssynchrony indices of maximal difference of time to minimal volume (Tmsv-Dif), standard deviation of time to minimal volume (Tmsv-SD), maximal difference of time to minimal volume corrected by R-R interval (Tmsv-Dif%), and standard deviation of time to minimal volume corrected by R-R interval (Tmsv-SD%). RESULTS RT-3DE measurements were significantly lower than MRI measurements for RV-EDV, RV-ESV, RV-SV, and RVEF (p < 0.01).Compared with controls, patients with an FRSV had significantly higher dyssynchrony indices and significantly lower global EF in both narrow QRS interval and wide QRS interval groups. Tmsv-SD% was shown to be most strongly correlated with MRI-RVEF (r = -.570, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS RT-3DE tended to underestimate RV ventricular volume in children with FSRV. Children with an FSRV and either a wide or narrow QRS interval had reduced ventricular function and higher dyssynchrony than normal subjects. Worsening RV dyssynchrony is associated with overall decline in function after the Fontan operation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In recent years, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has also started to be performed in the paediatric and CHD population. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of CRT in children with CHD. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with CHD who underwent CRT treatment in our paediatric cardiology clinic between January, 2010 and January, 2020 were included in the study. Demographic findings, 12-lead electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, clinical characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes were reviewed systematically. RESULTS The study population consisted of 18 CHD patients who had been treated with CRT for 10 years in our institution. The median age was 11 years (2.2-18 years) and the median weight was 39 kg (10-81 kg). Systemic ventricle was left ventricle in 13 patients, right ventricle in 4 patients, and 1 patient had single-ventricle physiology. CRT implantation indications were as follows: dysfunction after permanent pacemaker in 11 patients, dysfunction after left bundle branch block in 4 patients, and systemic ventricular dysfunction in 3 patients. CRT implantation techniques were epicardial (n = 13), hybrid (n = 4), and transvenous (n = 1) methods. QRS duration significantly decreased after CRT implantation (160 versus 124 m/second, p < 0.05). Median systemic ventricle ejection fraction (EF) significantly increased after the procedure (30 versus 50%, p < 0.05). Fourteen patients (78%) were responders, two patients (11%) were superresponders, and two patients (11%) were non-responders after the CRT treatment. One patient deceased during follow-up. Median follow-up duration was 40 months (6-117 months). CONCLUSION When electromechanical dyssynchrony occurs in paediatric cases with CHD and developing heart failure, patients should be evaluated in terms of CRT to improve ventricular function. Alternative CRT therapy will be beneficial in these cases that do not improve clinically despite optimal medical treatment.

Abstract
A Fontan circulation requires a series of three-staged operations aimed to palliate patients with single-ventricle CHD. Currently, the most frequent technique is the extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection, an external conduit connecting the IVC and right pulmonary artery, bypassing the right side of the heart. Fontan candidates must meet strict criteria; they are assessed utilising both cardiac catheterisation and cardiac magnetic resonance. Postoperatively, treatment protocols prioritise antibiotic prophylaxis, diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, anticoagulation, and oxygen therapy with fluid restriction and a low-fat diet. These measures aim to reduce length of stay in the ICU and hospital by preventing acute complications such as infection, venous thromboembolism, low cardiac output, pleural effusion, and acute kidney injury. Late complications of a Fontan procedure include circulation failure, protein-losing enteropathy, plastic bronchitis, and Fontan-associated liver disease. The definitive management is cardiac transplantation, with promising innovations in selective embolisation of lymphatic vessels and Fontan-specific ventricular assist devices. Further research assessing current protocols in the perioperative management of Fontan patients would be beneficial for standardising current practice and improving outcomes.

Abstract
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is common in patients with adult congenital heart disease. Many of the most common congenital defects have a high prevalence of HFrEF, including left-sided obstructive lesions (aortic stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, Shone complex), tetralogy of Fallot, Ebstein anomaly, lesions in which there is a systemic right ventricle, and lesions palliated with a Fontan circulation. However, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is also prevalent in all these lesions. Comprehensive evaluation includes physical exam, biomarkers, echocardiography and advanced imaging, exercise stress testing, and, in some cases, invasive hemodynamics. Guideline-directed medical therapy for HFrEF can be applied to left-sided lesions and may be considered on an individual basis for systemic right ventricle and single-ventricle patients. Medical therapy is limited for HFpEF. However, in both HFrEF and HFpEF, ventricular dyssynchrony and arrhythmias play an important role, and medications for rhythm control, ablation, and cardiac resynchronization therapy should be considered. Finally, aggressive management of cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities, including, but not limited to, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea, cannot be overemphasized.

Abstract
Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is rarely used in patients with congenital heart disease, and reported follow‐up is short. We sought to evaluate long‐term impact of CRT in a single‐center cohort of patients with congenital heart disease. Methods and Results Thirty‐two consecutive patients with structural congenital heart disease (N=30) or congenital atrioventricular block (N=2), aged median of 12.9 years at CRT with pacing capability device implantation, were followed up for a median of 8.7 years. CRT response was defined as an increase in systemic ventricular ejection fraction or fractional area of change by >10 units and improved or unchanged New York Heart Association class. Freedom from cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or new transplant listing was 92.6% and 83.2% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Freedom from CRT complications, leading to surgical system revision (elective generator replacement excluded) or therapy termination, was 82.7% and 72.2% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. The overall probability of an uneventful therapy continuation was 76.3% and 58.8% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. There was a significant increase in ejection fraction/fractional area of change (P<0.001) mainly attributable to patients with systemic left ventricle (P=0.002) and decrease in systemic ventricular end‐diastolic dimensions (P<0.05) after CRT. New York Heart Association functional class improved from a median 2.0 to 1.25 (P<0.001). Long‐term CRT response was present in 54.8% of patients at last follow‐up and was more frequent in systemic left ventricle (P<0.001). Conclusions CRT in patients with congenital heart disease was associated with acceptable survival and long‐term response in ≈50% of patients. Probability of an uneventful CRT continuation was modest.

Abstract
Objectives Long-term single-site ventricular pacing may adversely affect ventricular function, due to dyssynchronous systemic ventricular contraction. We sought to determine the incidence, predictors and outcomes of pacing-associated cardiomyopathy (PACM) in an adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) cohort. Methods We retrospectively identified all patients in our database with a permanent pacemaker from 2000 to 2019. Patients were followed for the primary endpoint of unexplained decline in systemic ventricular function (PACM) and the secondary endpoint of heart failure admission. Results Of 2073 patients in our database, 106 had undergone pacemaker implantation. Over a median follow-up of 9.4 years, 25 patients (24%) developed PACM, but only in those with ventricular pacing percentage (VP%) ≥70%; PACM occurred in 0% of those with VP <70% and 47% of those with VP ≥70% (p<0.001). High-burden ventricular pacing (≥70%) remained predictive of PACM in transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot and complex biventricular repair subgroups, but not in Fontan patients. Those with PACM were more likely to be admitted with heart failure (44% vs 15%, p=0.002). Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) upgrade was performed in 11 patients, with 9 responders (82%). Conclusions In a cohort of patients with ACHD followed long-term post-pacing, 24% developed cardiomyopathy that was significantly associated with a higher burden of ventricular pacing (VP ≥70%). Given promising response rates to CRT, patients with ACHD expected to pace in the ventricle should be closely monitored for systemic ventricular decline.

Abstract
Past studies have not detected consistent improvement in ventricular function (VFxn) following initiation of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in Fontan patients. However, these studies used qualitative assessments of VFxn and/or quantitative assessments of VFxn that rely upon anatomic and/or geometric assumptions that may not be valid in patients with single ventricles. To address this, we used quantitative indices of global VFxn (dP/dtic and the Tei index) that are not encumbered by the limitations associated with the indices used in previous studies of CRT in Fontan patients. METHODS Patients with Fontan physiology who had received CRT therapy from 2004 to 2019 were included in the study. They were compared to a concurrent group of Fontan patients who had received standard dual-chamber pacemakers (DCPMs). RESULTS VFxn was assessed at 3 time points: prior to, shortly after, and late after initiation of pacemaker therapy. Prior to initiation of pacemaker therapy, VFxn of the CRT patients tended to be worse than that of the DCPM patients. For both groups, VFxn appeared to be stable or slightly improved shortly after initiation of pacemaker therapy. In the CRT group, VFxn improved significantly between early and late follow-up. In contrast, VFxn in DCPM patients tended to decline during this period. Changes in VFxn correlated with concurrent changes in New York Heart Association classification. CONCLUSIONS Quantitative assessments of VFxn using indices not confounded by complex cardiac anatomy, segmental wall motions abnormalities, or inappropriate geometric assumptions revealed that CRT in Fontan patients is associated with preservation or improvement VFxn compared to standard DCPM. Changes in VFxn correlate with concurrent changes in New York Heart Association classification.

Abstract
Patients with a systemic right ventricle (SRV) are at high risk for development of heart failure early in life. An SRV is encountered in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) or dextro-transposition of the great arteries (DTGA) with previous atrial switch repair (Mustard or Senning procedure). Progressive heart failure is one of the leading cause of mortality in these patients. Therefore, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has gained increasing momentum for use in this challenging congenital heart disease (CHD) population. However, current guidelines differ in recommendations for CRT in patients with an SRV as evidence supporting CRT has thus far only been described in case reports and retrospectively in relatively small study populations. In fact, the European Society of Cardiology Guideline for the management of grown-up congenital heart disease consider CRT to be 'experimental' in this population. This systematic review critically summarizes current literature on CRT in SRV patients and provides future perspectives for further research in this challenging and growing CHD population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiomyopathies are rare in the pediatric population, but significantly impact on morbidity and mortality. The present review aims to provide an overview of cardiomyopathies in children and some practical guidelines for their prognostic stratification and management. RECENT FINDINGS Pediatric cardiomyopathies may present as isolated cardiac muscle disease or in the context of complex clinical syndromes. The etiologic characterization represents an important step in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiomyopathies because of its impact on prognosis and on therapeutic measures. Indeed, replacement therapy is nowadays widely available and changes the natural history of the disease. More complex is the management of isolated cardiomyopathies, which lack specific therapies, mainly aimed at symptomatic relief. In this context, heart transplantation shows excellent outcomes in children, but wait-list mortality is still very high. Device therapy for sudden cardiac death prevention and the use of mechanical assist devices are becoming more common in the clinical practice and may help to reduce mortality. SUMMARY Providing insight into pediatric cardiomyopathies classification helps in the prognostication and management of such diseases. Recent years witnessed a significant improvement in mortality, but future research is still needed to improve quality of life and life expectations in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Right ventricular (RV) function is important for clinical status and outcomes in children and adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). In the normal RV, longitudinal systolic function is the major contributor to global RV systolic function. A variety of factors contribute to RV failure including increased pressure- or volume-loading, electromechanical dyssynchrony, increased myocardial fibrosis, abnormal coronary perfusion, restricted filling capacity and adverse interactions between left ventricle (LV) and RV. We discuss the different imaging techniques both at rest and during exercise to define and detect RV failure. We identify the most important biomarkers for risk stratification in RV dysfunction, including abnormal NYHA class, decreased exercise capacity, low blood pressure, and increased levels of NTproBNP, troponin T, galectin-3 and growth differentiation factor 15. In adults with CHD (ACHD), fragmented QRS is independently associated with heart failure (HF) symptoms and impaired ventricular function. Furthermore, we discuss the different HF therapies in CHD but given the broad clinical spectrum of CHD, it is important to treat RV failure in a disease-specific manner and based on the specific alterations in hemodynamics. Here, we discuss how to detect and treat RV dysfunction in CHD in order to prevent or postpone RV failure.

Abstract
An infant with transposition of the great arteries was paced for postoperative heart block (single-site, right ventricular [RV] epicardial). She developed severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and septal dyskinesis. Resynchronization was performed at the age of 4 with an LV epicardial lead and an RV septal endocardial lead. The endocardial lead was affixed to the interventricular septum, then tunneled through the RV free wall and attached to an abdominal pulse generator. QRS duration decreased (176 to 122 ms) and LV ejection fraction improved (26 to 61%) and remained stable for 8 years. We present a case of successful resynchronization in congenital heart disease using a transmural RV septal lead.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study describes a single center experience with the use of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in a difficult patient population, including single systemic right ventricles (RVs), subpulmonary RVs, and left ventricles (LVs) with right bundle branch block (RBBB). BACKGROUND CRT remains challenging in the congenital heart disease population. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing resynchronization of single RVs, subpulmonary RVs, or LVs in the setting of RBBB were identified between 2016 and 2019. Patients who had CRT performed for complete heart block or had <3 months of follow-up were excluded. Patients underwent pre-procedural advanced imaging by echocardiogram, computed tomography, or cardiac magnetic resonance to assess ventricular function and synchrony; intraoperative mapping was performed to identify optimal lead placement. RESULTS All patients undergoing resynchronization presented with at least moderate systolic ventricular dysfunction in the setting of intrinsic atrioventricular nodal conduction and RBBB. Seven patients were identified. Two patients underwent CRT of a single RV, 3 with subpulmonary RVs and 2 with systemic LVs. The median age at CRT was 5 years (range 0.6 to 48 years). The median follow-up was 9 months (range 3 to 18 months). The median baseline QRS duration was 180 ms (range 115 to 260ms). Post-CRT, the QRS duration decreased by a median of 34% (range 19% to 38%). All patients had improvement in their systolic ventricular function. CONCLUSIONS Targeted resynchronization in systemic and subpulmonary RVs can be used to improve ventricular function and heart failure in the congenital heart disease population. Similar techniques can be applied to successfully treat patients with LV dysfunction and RBBB and improve their long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Arrhythmia management in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) encompasses a wide range of problems from bradyarrhythmia to tachyarrhythmia, sudden death, and heart failure-related electrical dyssynchrony. Major advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology and treatments of these problems over the past decade have resulted in improved therapeutic strategies and outcomes. This article attempts to define these problems and review contemporary management for the patient with ACHD presenting with cardiac arrhythmia.
