Up to 10% of Fontan patients require pacemakers; an epicardial approach has historically been used. A transvenous approach can be used but carries risk of Fontan obstruction, thromboembolism, and can be technically challenging. The safety and efficacy of these approaches is not well described. The aim of this study was to compare epicardial and transvenous pacemaker outcomes in Fontan patients, specifically,...
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measure of the magnitude of autonomic cardiac tone produced by sympathetic and parasympathetic innervations. Power spectral density estimates in adults use traditional low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) bands to assess HRV as an indicator of increased risk of cardiac mortality. Studies of altered HRV in infants suggest that classic methods need modification...
Congenital heart defects, such as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, are the most prevalent type of birth defect. Palliative reconstructive procedures may interrupt autonomic cardiac function and increase infant mortality rate. Autonomic cardiac tone is classically assessed using linear, Fourier-based techniques. A non-linear Poincare?? technique is proposed to more completely characterize heart rate...
