Altered baroreceptor function in children with systolic hypertension after coarctation repair
(Elsevier, 1983-07)
To determine whether altered baroreceptor function may contribute to systemic hypertension after coarctation of the aorta (C of A) repair, baroreceptor function was evaluated in 6 children with repaired C of A mild arm ...
Transient atrioventricular block resulting from left ventricular angiography in infants with ventricular septal defect
(Elsevier, 1989-07-01)
Conduction disturbances often occur with manipulation of catheters within the atria or ventricles during cardiac catheterization.1,2 Catheter movement may induce transient right or left bundle branch block, or complete ...
Thresholds for transesophageal atrial pacing
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1984)
To determine the thresholds for transesophageal atrial capture, as well as factors that may influence the thresholds, we measured the minimal current and pulse width required to pace the atria through transesophageal bipolar ...

Chronic verapamil therapy in pediatrie and young adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(Elsevier, 1984-06-01)
Oral verapamil, 5.2 +/- 1.1 mg/kg/day (range 2.8 to 7), was administered to 13 pediatric patients with hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy for 13 +/- 6 months (range 2 to 20). The patients had significant symptomatic improvement ...
Usefulness of the doppler mean gradient in evaluation of children with aortic valve stenosis and comparison to gradient at catheterization
(Elsevier, 1989-10-01)
To assess the usefulness of the Doppler mean gradient as a noninvasive indicator of the need for intervention, 33 children (ages 3 months to 20 years) with valvular aortic stenosis (AS) underwent a 2-dimensional and Doppler ...
Results of balloon valvuloplasty in the treatment of congenital valvar pulmonary stenosis in children
(Elsevier, 1985-09-15)
Transluminal balloon valvuloplasty was used in the treatment of congenital valvar pulmonary stenosis in 19 children, aged 5 months to 18 years. The right ventricular (RV) systolic pressure and RV outflow tract gradient ...
