Reversible Cardiomyopathy in an Adolescent with Idiopathic Aortic Cusp Ventricular Tachycardia

Abstract

This report describes the case of an asymptomatic patient with a ventricular tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy that resolved completely after successful radiofrequency ablation. This type of presentation and outcome has not been reported in the pediatric literature.

Microvascular imaging and monitoring of human oral cavity lesions in vivo by swept-source OCT-based angiography

“…During oral examination, dentists usually pay little attention to the frenulum, however, an abnormal frenulum can be indicators of various oral syndromes 51 . For example, papillary and papilla penetrating frena have been found in association with loss of papilla, recession, diastema, difficulty in brushing, malalignment of teeth, et al 52 .…”

A multicenter review of ablation in the aortic cusps in young people

“…6 Despite the current literature supporting ablation of some atrial tachycardia from the coronary cusps in adult patients, similar reports in the pediatric literature have been rare. [14][15][16] Given the relative rarity of this approach in children, we would recommend serial In contrast to the findings in adult patients, an interesting distribution of ventricular arrhythmias was observed in our patients; more VT and PVC ablations were performed in the NCC that either the right coronary cusp or left coronary cusp (…”

“…In addition, a case series of six patients found that cryoablation was effective in the treatment of arrhythmia substrates originating from the left coronary cusp with no recurrence after 6 months of follow‐up . Despite the current literature supporting ablation of some atrial tachycardia from the coronary cusps in adult patients, similar reports in the pediatric literature have been rare . Given the relative rarity of this approach in children, we would recommend serial longitudinal echocardiography over time to assess the possible long‐term impact of ablation on the function of the aortic valve in the young.…”

“…This approach is employed for the treatment of various arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia (VT), premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT), and anteroseptal accessory pathways (APs) . At present, though, there is little published literature on aortic cusp ablation in children and young adults …”

“…[9][10][11][12][13] At present, though, there is little published literature on aortic cusp ablation in children and young adults. [14][15][16] In this retrospective multicenter descriptive study, we present the experiences of aortic cusp ablation in children. We hypothesize that Pacing Clin Electrophysiol.…”
