Is clinical course of atrial ectopic tachycardia age-dependent : results and treatment in children < 3 or > or =3 years of age?
Younger children respond to antiarrhythmic therapy and have a high incidence of AET resolution, thus warranting a trial of antiarrhythmic therapy. In children > or =3 years, AET is unlikely to resolve spontaneously, and antiarrhythmic medications are frequently ineffective. Thus, RFA should be considered early in the course of treatment for these children; however, surgical intervention may be necessary.
Crybb2-NPC exert beneficial effects on the vitreoretinal compartment, which suggests that modified crybb2-NPC could be used in a novel strategy for the treatment of degenerative vitreoretinal diseases. However, future studies must determine the safety of in vivo administration of crybb2-NPC.
