Abstract:Aims
To determine whether pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) patients with epicardial cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) receive high cumulative effective doses (CED) of ionizing radiation from medical imaging tests.
Methods and Results
We compared 28 pediatric CHD patients with epicardial CIEDs (cases) against 40 patients with no CIED matched by age at operation, sex, surgical era, and CHD diagnosis (contro… Show more
