Provides expert consensus recommendations on the indications and management of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices in pediatric patients.
Standardizes pediatric CIED decisions now; extends consensus to chronic Chagas indications.
intended to provide an exhaustive discussion of the basis for each of the recommendations, which are further addressed in the comprehensive PACES-CIED document, 3 with further data easily accessible in electronic searches or textbooks. Recommendation-specific supportive textSystemic infections may cause myocardial inflammation or infiltration presenting with bradycardia or complete AV block.In most cases, there is recovery of AV conduction.However, in chronic Chagas disease, advanced heart block in Chagas is permanent and pacemaker implantation is indicated. 43Limited data suggest that children who develop AV block due to coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome will have recovery of normal AV conduction. 44plantable cardioverter defibrillators
