Children really are not little adults: What we can take away from the 2021 PACES Expert Consensus Statement on the Indications and Management of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices
Year: 2021
Type: editorial
Abstract: For decades, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists have recited the mantra “children are not little adults.” Yet, we have not had systematic, pediatric-focused guidelines for the management of pediatric arrhythmias and cardiac rhythm management. The 2021 PACES Expert Consensus Statement on the Indications and Management of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) published in the November issue of Heart Rhythm1 is a comprehensive document that, for the first time, tackles head-on the questions of indication for implantation of CIEDs in a heterogeneous pediatric population.
