RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: QRS prolongation has been shown to be a predictor of mortality in patients with certain forms of congenital heart disease. QRS changes have not been well described in patients with single ventricle physiology, particularly in those undergoing the hybrid procedure. OBJECTIVE: To describe QRS changes in a cohort of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) who underwent hybrid palliation and to evaluate if QRS duration is associated with mortality. METHODS: Chart review of 54 patients with HLHS who underwent hybrid procedure between 2002 and 2009 was performed. Patients awaiting surgical palliation were excluded. Patients who survived Fontan completion (HLHS-S, n = 30) were compared to non-survivor (HLHS-NS, n = 24). Electrocardiograms were reviewed for maximal QRS duration (ms) at three pre- and postsurgical stages: (1) hybrid procedure, (2) comprehensive stage 2 procedure, and (3) Fontan procedure. RESULTS: In HLHS-S, there was a significant increase in QRS from birth to Fontan completion (15.6 ± 9.3 ms). QRS duration increased 8.5 ± 8.9 ms between posthybrid to precomprehensive stage 2, and 5.4 ± 9.7 ms between postcomprehensive stage 2 to Fontan. Following Fontan procedure, mean QRS decreased 4.3 ± 8.5 ms. There was no significant mean difference in QRS change between HLHS-S and HLHS-NS following hybrid procedure. Pre- and posthybrid and pre- and postcomprehensive stage 2 QRS durations were not different between HLHS-S and HLHS-NS who underwent a comprehensive stage 2 procedure. There was a significant difference in QRS difference following comprehensive stage 2 in HLHS-S (0.9 ± 7.1 ms) compared to HLHS-NS (-7.1 ± 10.0 ms). CONCLUSIONS: QRS duration significantly increased from hybrid to Fontan completion in HLHS-S. There was a significant decrease in QRS duration in patients who died following comprehensive stage 2 procedure. Larger studies are needed to assess the significance of these QRS changes.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Parents of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have been shown to be at an increased risk of having psychosocial morbidities including anxiety, depression, and somatization. Little is known about the anxiety level of these parents during the initial hospital course. The goal of this study was to evaluate the anxiety level of the parents at the time of hospital discharge and to determine if certain characteristics predict higher anxiety levels. METHODS: Caregivers of neonates admitted with CHD within the first 30 days of life were recruited. Anxiety levels were measured by using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Scale just prior to discharge. Spearman correlations were performed between state and trait scales vs. clinical variables. RESULTS: Fifty-nine questionnaires were completed for 38 neonates. Based on state score measure of anxiety, 81% of parents denied anxiety, 14% reported borderline anxiety, and 5% reported significant anxiety. Trait scores of anxiety reflected 93% of parents who denied anxiety, 2% who reported borderline anxiety, and 5% who reported significant anxiety. There was a significant positive correlation between state score and level of education (ρ= 0.30, P < .05) and the trait score and level of education (ρ= 0.23, P < .10). Number of medications was also significantly negatively associated with standard trait score (ρ=-0.37, P < .05). CONCLUSION: In general, anxiety trait scores were low for caregivers of neonates with CHD; however, there was a higher proportion of caregivers that reported anxiety in the state anxiety score. Higher education was associated with a higher level of anxiety. Future studies are needed to determine how to minimize anxiety levels during this stressful time period.

RESUMEN

We report a case of an infant with asplenia syndrome, isomerism of the right atrial appendages, and totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection who experienced hepatic failure following surgical correction of the anomalous pulmonary venous connection. We describe associated anomalies of the portal venous system.
