如何诊断小儿心律失常
并非所有的心律失常都是有害的. But it is essential to identify the ones that could affect your child’s health, safety or well-being. 我们可以通过以下方式评估孩子的心律:
如何治疗孩子的心律失常
One or more of these treatments may be recommended to address your child’s arrhythmia.
-
在某些情况下, 药物可以帮助控制心律失常的症状, 防止集, 或者让这些发生的时间更短，不那么强烈. 用于药物治疗, your child might need regular blood tests to make sure medication levels are safe 和 effective.
-
Some types of arrhythmia are due to problems with the electrical impulses that activate the heart’s muscle tissue. For some of these heart rhythm disorders, a technique called 射频消融(RFA) 能有持久的方法来治疗这个问题吗.
使用小, 被称为导管的柔性管, doctors guide delicate instruments through a blood vessel to the right location in the heart. The doctor applies heat to the precise spots in the heart that are causing the arrhythmia. 另一种技术叫做 冷冻消融术使用针对性的冷敷来冻结病变.
Many of the 孩子们 we treat with RFA or 冷冻消融术 can go home the same day as their procedure, 并在一周后恢复正常活动.
-
If your child’s complex heart rhythm calls for a device inside the body, we can offer excellent care. The Blalock-Taussig-Thomas 儿科和先天性心脏中心 has expertise in the newest pacemakers 和 defibrillators, 以及用它们来帮助孩子的经验. Our device implant techniques can often avoid a larger surgery 和 can be done with less scarring.
如果诊断表明可能需要使用起搏器, a nurse who specializes in pacemakers can talk directly to your child about what to expect.
Monitoring Your Child’s Pacemaker or Implanted Cardiac Device
通过远程监控, our team can receive important clinical information from your child’s device, 包括功能上的变化, 当你的孩子留在家里的时候. This monitoring can detect subtle heart rhythm changes in your child even when he or she doesn’t feel them, 如有必要，及时开始治疗.
Remote monitoring can also add convenience for your family by reducing the number of in-person follow-ups at the hospital.
减少心脏起搏器疤痕尽管有效的治疗是我们的首要任务, 我们也采取美容意识的方法, working with you 和 your child so that our therapies have minimal impact on your child’s appearance 和 self-confidence. If your child has already received a pacemaker 和 is concerned about scarring after surgery, 我们提供疤痕修复，以尽量减少疤痕的外观.
遗传性心律失常与猝死
Some arrhythmia conditions are inherited, 和 can affect entire families. 在Blalock-Taussig-Thomas中心, adult 和 pediatric electrophysiologists work together to care for families with inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndromes such as:
- 长QT综合征
- Brugada综合症
- CPVT
- 心律失常性右室心肌病(ARVC)
- NKX2.5和其他
我们的专家 家族性心律失常门诊 can see adult 和 child members of the same family on one day 和 at one location, 如果你住得远，这对你来说更方便. The Familial Arrhythmia team includes specialized cardiac genetic counselors who can help you through the diagnosis of cardiac genetic conditions, 和 help you underst和 what they mean for you 和 your loved ones.
