Abstract
A nine year old boy with complex congenital heart disease requiring right ventricular outflow tract surgery and palpitations had inducible monomorphic ventricular tachycardia at 300 bpm by programmed ventricular stimulation. He was treated with enteral phenytoin. With a therapeutic plasma level, repeat electrophysiological study was negative for inducible ventricular tachycardia using an aggressive pacing protocol. An insertable loop recorder was implanted, and the family was prescribed an automatic external defibrillator. The decision to not place an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was based upon anticipated need for serial cardiac MRI scans to monitor the effect of progressive outflow tract stenosis and regurgitation.

Alp H, Narin C, Baysal T, Sarıgül A. Prevalence of and risk factors for early postoperative arrhythmia in children after cardiac surgery. Pediatr Int 2014; 56:19-23.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to (i) evaluate postoperative arrhythmias following congenital heart surgery, on 12-lead electrocardiography and Holter monitoring; and (ii) analyze the association between the type of repair and postoperative arrhythmia. METHODS A total of 229 children and 10 neonates with a mean age of 4.71 ± 0.41 years (range, 15 days-17 years) who underwent congenital cardiac surgery were included the study. Twelve-lead electrocardiography and Holter monitoring were used to evaluate arrhythmias after the operation. RESULTS Within the evaluation period, 104 patients (43.5%) developed arrhythmias after surgery. No arrhythmias were observed in neonates. Female sex (51.9%) was slightly associated with the occurrence of arrhythmias after operation. The most common arrhythmia was supraventricular extra-systoles (65.4%). Risk factors for supraventricular extra-systoles were repair of secundum atrial septal defect (32.3%), ventricular septal defect (25%) and tetralogy of Fallot (14.7%). Also, ventricular extra-systoles were associated with repair of ventricular septal defect. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative arrhythmia is usually a frequent and transient phenomenon after congenital cardiac surgery, and is provoked by both mechanical irritation of the conduction system and humoral factors. Postoperative arrhythmia should be anticipated in patients with congenital cardiac surgery. Finally, the association between this type of surgical repair and arrhythmia may be helpful for estimating the type of arrhythmia that develops after congenital cardiac surgery in children.

Abstract
Background and Objectives We checked traditional and high-level precordial electrocardiogram (ECG) leads in patients who had undergone right ventricular outlet obstruction (RVOT) reconstruction surgery and evaluated the effect of ECG lead position on their QRS duration. Subjects and Methods We enrolled 34 patients who had undergone surgery for congenital heart disease with RVOT obstruction and who had received followed up care that included recorded ECG at a pediatric cardiac out-patient clinic. The control group included 29 patients who did not have hemodynamically significant intracardiac abnormality. We recorded traditional standard 12-leads ECG from the 4th intercostals space, and moved the precordial leads to the 3rd and 2nd intercostals spaces, and recorded ECGs repeatedly. Results In all groups, there was no significant difference of mean QRS duration and QTc interval between traditional standard 12-leads ECGs and ECGs at higher intercostals spaces. There was no significant difference of ECG parameters between groups. In the control group, the degree of the change between the 4th intercostals space (ICS) QRS and 3rd ICS QRS was significant (p=0.031), and although, it was insignificant, ECGs at the 3rd ICS showed decreased QRS duration in group 1 (V1: 3rd ICS 119.21±21.53 msec vs. 4th ICS 122.80±31.78 msec. V2: 3rd ICS 113.68±19.43 msec vs. 4th ICS 118.24±19.16 msec). Conclusion Although the positional change of ECG leads did not result in a significant effect on measuring QRS duration after surgery, ECG leads at the 3rd ICS rather than at the 4th ICS may cause alteration of ECG readings. Therefore, we suggest that ECGs should be recorded in as accurate a position as possible.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease is the commonest birth defect, and advances in modern medicine mean 90% of these children now survive to adulthood. Therefore, many children present to their local hospital requiring general anesthesia for common childhood conditions. They pose a challenge for anesthesia because perioperative morbidity and mortality is greater compared with other children. It is impossible to prescribe a formula for anesthetizing children with heart disease because of the complexity of heart defects and the variety of noncardiac surgery. There is also a lack of high-quality data of efficacy of one anesthetic technique over another. Much data come from case series or isolated case reports. In a rapidly advancing field such as cardiac surgery, studies of long-term complications may be out of date by the time they are published, limiting applicability of the results. Because of these factors, claims of efficacy and safety of various approaches to managing children with heart disease for noncardiac surgery must be interpreted cautiously. This narrative review aims to present the evidence concerning a range of anesthetic techniques, the long-term complications of congenital heart disease and suggest a physiological and evidence-based approach to managing these children.

Abstract
There has been a steady rise in the prevalence of severe congenital heart disease (CHD) in adults because of improved treatment and survival during childhood. This has resulted in a shift in CHD morbidity and mortality beyond 18 years of age. The healthcare community must be prepared to meet this new challenge. Adult cardiologists need to be aware of common CHD, such as tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), as they will encounter adults with this CHD in their practice. With routine monitoring, cardiac imaging, early intervention, and treatment as highlighted in this report, continued improvement in the long-term fitness and avoidance of late complications for adult TOF patient is anticipated.

Abstract
Patients with adult congenital heart disease are at increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) and sudden cardiac death, although no clear predictors have been found. Ventricular programmed stimulation has been shown to predict clinical ventricular tachycardia and sudden death events, but the role of screening electrophysiology studies (S-EPSs) in this population remains poorly defined. Therefore, we sought to determine the prevalence of inducible VA and to evaluate the clinical predictors in a heterogeneous group of patients with adult congenital heart disease (> or =18 years old) undergoing S-EPSs at preoperative or interventional cardiac catheterization. Studies for the primary evaluation of clinical VA were excluded. The demographic, clinical, and diagnostic findings were compared between the patients with positive and negative findings. From 2005 to 2009, 80 patients (mean age 30 +/- 9 years) underwent S-EPSs, and 23 had inducible VA. The diagnoses for those with studies positive for VA included tetralogy of Fallot (n = 12), d-transposition of the great arteries (n = 6), pulmonary stenosis (n = 2), double outlet right ventricle (n = 1), double inlet left ventricle (n = 1), and Ebstein's anomaly (n = 1). Men were significantly more likely to have a S-EPS positive for VA (p = 0.015). Increasing QRS duration, decreasing peak oxygen uptake (percentage of predicted), and ventricular fibrosis with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging were significantly associated with studies positive for VA (p <0.05). Combined fibrosis and a peak oxygen uptake <80% of predicted had 100% sensitivity for positive VA findings. In conclusion, almost 30% of those with adult congenital heart disease undergoing S-EPSs had inducible VA. A prolonged QRS duration, diminished exercise capacity, and the presence of ventricular fibrosis were significantly associated with findings positive for VA and might improve patient selection for screening evaluations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have consistently shown that ventricular tachycardia (VT) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) complicate the long-term outcome after tetralogy of Fallot repair, yet the diagnostic and predictive value of electrophysiological testing in this population is uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS A multicenter cohort of 252 patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot undergoing programmed ventricular stimulation was followed up for 18.5+/-9.6 and 6.5+/-4.5 years after corrective surgery and electrophysiological testing, respectively. Clinical VT and/or SCD occurred in 24.6%. Sustained monomorphic VT and polymorphic VT were induced in 30.2% and 4.4%. Including polymorphic VT in the definition of inducibility improved sensitivity (66.1+/-6.0% versus 77.4+/-5.3%, P=0.0082) with a marginal reduction in specificity (81.6+/-2.8% versus 79.5+/-2.9%, P=0.0455). Positive and negative predictive values were 55.2+/-5.3% and 91.5+/-2.2%. Independent risk factors for inducibility were age at study > or =18 years (OR, 3.3), palpitations (OR, 2.8), prior palliative surgery (OR, 3.1), modified Lown criteria > or =2 (OR, 5.6), and cardiothoracic ratio > or =0.6 (OR, 3.3). Event-free survival rates in noninducible and inducible patients at 1, 5, 10, and 15 years were 97.9%, 92.8%, 89.3%, and 89.3% versus 79.4%, 62.6%, 58.7%, and 50.3%, respectively (P<0.0001). Both inducible monomorphic VT [relative risk (RR), 5.0; P=0.0002] and polymorphic VT (RR, 12.9; P<0.0001) predicted future clinical VT and SCD. In a multivariate analysis, inducible sustained VT was an independent risk factor for subsequent events (RR, 4.7; 95% CI, 1.2 to 18.5; P=0.0268). CONCLUSIONS Programmed ventricular stimulation is of diagnostic and prognostic value in risk stratifying patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot. In this patient population, inducible sustained polymorphic VT should not be disregarded as nonspecific.

Evidence of early impairments in both right and left ventricular inotropic reserves in children with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. Am J Cardiol 2004; 93:724-7.

Abstract
In Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD), cardiac function deteriorates with time and heart failure is one of the major causes of death. The aim of the study was to determine if a decrease in the ventricular inotropic reserves could be an early sign of cardiac dysfunction in these children. Nineteen children with DMD (aged 9 to 18 years, mean age 13.6 +/- 2.4) underwent equilibrium radionuclide angiography at rest and during an inotropic stimulation with low-dose dobutamine perfusion (7.5 to 15 microg. kg(-1). min(-1)). In all patients, this investigation was short (<30 minutes), successful, and uncomplicated. At rest, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) was normal (>0.50) in 79% of patients, and right ventricular (RV) EF was normal (>0.45) in 95%. There was a trend toward a decrease with age for rest LVEF (p = 0.051) but not for rest RVEF (p = 0.8). By contrast, marked declines with age could be documented for the increases (Delta) in LVEF and RVEF during dobutamine perfusion (p = 0.002 for DeltaLVEF and p = 0.015 for DeltaRVEF). Thus, by multivariate analysis, the sole best indicator of decline in cardiac function with age was LVEF determined with dobutamine. In children with DMD, low-dose dobutamine radionuclide angiography gives evidence of an early decline with age of the inotropic reserves of both ventricles.

Abstract
Arrhythmias are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults with congenital heart disease; they can range from occult asymptomatic sinus node disease to sudden death. Detecting and diagnosing these arrhythmias presents a challenge when caring for these patients. A high index of suspicion is necessary, as well as a thorough understanding of the underlying heart defect and subsequent surgical interventions. A careful history, noninvasive evaluation, and in some cases invasive testing are all necessary to determine arrhythmias in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with the tetralogy of Fallot, QRS prolongation predicts malignant ventricular arrhythmias. QRS prolongation may result from right ventricular dilatation. The relation of ECG markers to biventricular wall mass and volumes has not been assessed. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relations of surface ECG markers of depolarisation and repolarisation to right and left ventricular volume and biventricular wall mass. METHODS 37 Fallot patients (mean (SD) age 17 (9) years) were studied 14 (8) years after surgical repair; 34 had important pulmonary regurgitation. Left and right ventricular size was assessed from tomographic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the amount of pulmonary regurgitation by velocity mapping MRI. QT, QRS, and JT duration and interlead dispersion markers were derived from a standard 12 lead ECG. RESULTS Mean QRS duration was significantly prolonged (133 (31) v 91 (11) ms in controls), as were dispersion of QRS (36 (17) v 20 (6) ms), QT interval (87 (48) v 42 (20) ms), and JT interval (93 (48) v 42 (19) ms). Biventricular volumes were increased (right ventricular end diastolic volume, 129 (41) v 70 (9) ml/m(2); left ventricular end diastolic volume, 83 (16) v 69 (10) ml/m(2)), as was right ventricular wall mass (24 (7) v 17 (2) g/m(2)). QRS duration correlated best with right ventricular mass (r = 0.55, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In patients operated on for tetralogy of Fallot and with pulmonary regurgitation, ECG predictors of ventricular arrhythmias are influenced by several mechanical factors that may occur simultaneously. These include increased right ventricular volume, but also increases in left ventricular volume and in right and left ventricular wall mass.

Abstract
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias secondary to a variety of underlying cardiovascular problems pose a therapeutic challenge to the clinician. The initial presentation may be as sudden cardiac death, which underlies its public health problem. The underlying conditions predisposing to this arrhythmia include ischemic heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmiogenic right ventricle dysplasia and certain postoperative states including corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot and valve replacement. Other causes include prolonged QT syndrome, idiopathic right and left ventricle tachycardia and bundle branch re-entry tachycardia. Ischaemic heart disease is the most common cause of ventricular tachycardia and therapy has evolved considerably over the past two decades. The development of and refinements in the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) have introduced a new dimension in therapeutic options and markedly improved survival in these patients. Insights in the dichotomy between arrhythmia suppression and total mortality have reoriented drug therapy with a decrease in the use of sodium channel blockers. beta-blockers have emerged as antiarrhythmic drugs in their own right and their synergistic effects with amiodarone have strengthened the antiarrhythmic drug arm. The role of these drugs in patients with hemodynamically stable ventricular tachycardia, especially in relatively preserved ventricles needs to be explored. Catheter ablation techniques have provided curative therapy in patients with idiopathic and bundle branch reentry tachycardia. Further advances in radiofrequency ablation, including use of newer mapping techniques, promise a greater role for ablation of ischemic ventricular tachycardia in the future. A hybrid approach consisting of drugs, catheter ablation and/ or ICD may provide effective therapeutic approach in some situations. Further innovations and technologic developments promise a further reorientation in therapy towards identification and treatment of the underlying arrhythmogenic substrate.
