Outcomes, Arrhythmic Burden and Ambulatory Monitoring of Pediatric Patients With Left Ventricular Non-Compaction and Preserved Left Ventricular Function

Pediatric patients with left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and severe ventricular dysfunction are at risk for sudden death. The aims of this study were to (1) evaluate outcomes, (2) describe arrhythmic burden on Holter monitoring, and (3) analyze the utility of Holter monitoring and its impact on...

Description
Summary:Pediatric patients with left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and severe ventricular dysfunction are at risk for sudden death. The aims of this study were to (1) evaluate outcomes, (2) describe arrhythmic burden on Holter monitoring, and (3) analyze the utility of Holter monitoring and its impact on care in pediatric patients with LVNC and preserved or mild ventricular dysfunction. This was a retrospective study including patients
