Shone's syndrome patients undergo a number of left heart interventions. Coarctation of the aorta is associated with an increased likelihood for repeat interventions. Survival appears to be more favourable than expected. Significant left heart growth will occur in the population. Pulmonary hypertension is associated with an increased risk of mortality.
The CACNA1C-L762F mutation is associated with development of LQTS through slower channel inactivation and increased sustained and window current. TS-associated mutations localize to specific areas of CACNA1C and are associated with a younger age at presentation, higher QTc, and 2:1 AV block than isolated LQTS-associated mutations.
PPVI may be associated with transient VT in the acute peri-procedural period. Patients of smaller size may be more susceptible. All patients were managed conservatively and none of the patients had a recurrence, which is suggestive of a transient phenomenon.
IV sotalol is an effective antiarrhythmic option for pediatric patients and may be an excellent agent for acute termination of active arrhythmias. It was well tolerated, with no patient requiring discontinuation secondary to adverse effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
