Title: Head-up-tilt testing in children : new perspectives using beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring
Authors: Dalla Pozza, Robert; Kleinmann, A.; Zysk, S.; Bechtold, Susanne; Netz, Natalie
Abstract: The head-up-tilt-test in pediatric patients for the evaluation of syncope shows a
sensitivity of 35-85% and often requires pharmacological stimulation in order to
improve its diagnostic value. This article describes the use of a new device for beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring combined with impedance cardiography in a 12-year-old girl during tilt testing. A seven seconds asystolia was provoked. The haemodynamic parameters showed clearly the drop in heart rate as well as in cardiac output, and returned to normal values after tilting back the patient. With the help of this new monitoring device, the sensitivity and specificity of head-up-tilt-testing can probably be improved.2005-01-01T00:00:00ZStent implantation for coarctation facilitated by the anterograde trans-septal approach

Title: Stenting of the aortic arch as an emergency palliation of aortic dissection after cardiac surgery in an infant
Authors: Emmel, Matthias Alexander; Sreeram, Narayanswami; Brockmeier, Konrad
Abstract: Aortic dissection with low cardiac output is an acute emergency and immediate
therapy is mandatory. It is however a disease of the elderly. This article reports on an infant
who developed acute aortic dissection following cardiac surgery, for whom stent
implantation was performed.2005-01-01T00:00:00Z
