Why the study?

Does changing from VVI to biventricular DDD pacing improve left ventricular function in a child with congenital complete AV block and dilated cardiomyopathy?

Population

1 child with congenital complete atrioventricular block, long-QT syndrome, congenital muscular dystrophy…

Comparison

Change to biventricular DDD pacing vs Prior VVI pacing

Design

Case_report

Follow-up

10 years

Implication

May support biventricular pacing for LV recovery in select pediatric congenital AV block cases; leaves open need for prospective trials.

Does changing from VVI to biventricular DDD pacing improve left ventricular function in a child with congenital complete AV block and dilated cardiomyopathy?

Population

1 child with congenital complete atrioventricular block, long-QT syndrome, congenital muscular dystrophy, and dilated cardiomyopathy with a VVI pacemaker

Intervention

Change to biventricular DDD pacing

Comparator

Prior VVI pacing

Outcome

Left ventricular systolic function and diastolic dimensionssurrogate

Biventricular pacing can reverse dilated cardiomyopathy and normalize left ventricular function in children with congenital complete AV block previously managed with VVI pacing.
