  • A good topic overview for subspecialists

    For those of us in the field of pediatric cardiology, this is a great addition to our ways to learn and stay current. As all things new, it has some pros and cons.

    Pros: Covers relevant topics. It also covers topics from the full range of pediatric cardiology. You can tell Dr. Pass is listening to feedback consistently. For example, he has improved the audio quality quite notably just over the first 15+ episodes. The interviews are also a nice touch, allowing us to hear others thoughts on ea... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pediheart Podcast #385: A Novel More Malignant "Neurocardiac Phenotype" Form of CPVT
Q: What do we know about the location of RYR2 variants in neurodevelopmentally delayed patients compared to classic CPVT variants, and why might this relate to neurodevelopmental issues?
The variants in neurodevelopmentally delayed patients tend to cluster in specific hotspots within RYR2, particularly in regions important for calcium channel regulation. This pattern may explain why some CPVT patients also have neurodevelopmental delays, suggesting a broader biological impact beyond the heart.
Pediheart Podcast Replay - #284: Pulmonary Artery Band Outcomes In The Present Era
Q: Did the data suggest that different surgical approaches besides banding should be pursued for high-mortality diagnoses like complete AV canal or arch obstruction?
The guest suggested that, in very small infants with AV canal defects, a primary complete repair might be preferable when the center has the capability, while also noting that center experience and patient-specific anatomy strongly influence decisions; ongoing exploration of alternatives and novel strategies is encouraged, but the decision must be tailored to each center's capabilities.
Pediheart Podcast #386: What Is The "Right" Starting Dose Of Adenosine For SVT In Children?
Q: Based on your study, should we change the recommended starting dose or consider titrating higher from the outset?
The most important message is that higher weight-based doses were consistently associated with greater cardioversion success, but given that the included studies are observational and guideline changes require high levels of evidence, a definitive change in international recommendations cannot be claimed yet; however, re-examining starting dose strategies and acknowledging mechanism-specific dosing may be warranted.
Pediheart Podcast #386: What Is The "Right" Starting Dose Of Adenosine For SVT In Children?
Q: What inspired you and your colleagues to study this topic on optimal adenosine dosing?
The study began from a recognition that although 100 mcg/kg is a widely taught starting dose, several studies reported modest conversion rates at or below that level, prompting a question: what does the total body of evidence show when all data are analyzed together?
Pediheart Podcast #383: Using Virtual Reality And 3D Modelling For Planning Complex Congenital Heart Surgery
Q: Could you explain the general workflow and why three different printed models (F1, F2, F3) are made?
The three models reflect a progressive workflow: F1 is a rigid 3D-printed template; F2 is a digitally flattened version that is easier to trace on pericardium; and F3 is a paper 1:1 template for quick, low-cost intraoperative guidance, enabling accurate patch shaping and anchoring.
