Clinical Research in Paediatric Cardiology

We focus on clinical studies identifying patients at risk of cardiac sequelae.

Nocturnal hypoglycemia in diabetic children: influence on cardiac repolarization and autonomic heart rate regulation.
In collaboration with Dr. S. Bachmann, Pediatric Endocrinology, the influence of nocturnal hypoglycemia on cardiac repolarization/autonomic heart rate regulation in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus is investigated. Using continuous nocturnal glucose measurements and ECG analysis, changes in the duration of repolarization and parameters of heart rate variability (HRV) related to hypoglycemia were studied.
A QTc lengthening and alterations in HRV occurred even before detection of nocturnal hypoglycemia (Bachmann et al. 2021).
A recent pharmacometric analysis by Dr. V. Gotta, research group Prof. M. Pfister, Pediatric Pharmacology and Pharmocometrics, confirmed QTc prolongation during nocturnal hypoglycemia with longest QTc intervals during the night time with highest risk for hypoglycemia (Gotta et al., submitted). The possible potential for hypoglycemia prediction is currently analyzed in cooperation with Dr. X. Binbin, University Lyon.

Personalized medicine in patients with long QT syndrome and pregnancy.
Pregnant women with inherited long QT syndrome are at an increased risk for preterm delivery, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and arrhythmia. In cooperation with Dr. T. Welzel and Prof. Dr. J. van den Anker, Pediatric Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics, a review was performed to support clinicians in their selection of β-receptor blocker treatment for pregnant women considering the risk of IUGR, maternal comorbidities, fetal factors and the LQTS genotype (Welzel T. et al. 2021).

Long-term cardiopulmonary function in preterm-born children.
Three-dimensional real-time echocardiography in combination with cardiopulmonary exercise testing are applied for functional analysis of a cohort of formerly preterm children at school-age (followed by Prof. S. Lemola, Faculty of Psychology Basel).
In cooperation with Prof. Dr. D. Trachsel, pediatric pneumology, this cohort was compared with an age-matched control in respect of cardiopulmonary function and hemodynamics. Maximal oxygen uptake is significantly diminished, but individual factors like activity and a healthy lifestyle are strong confounders. These results might contribute to the detection of patients at-risk for pulmonary hypertension/ventricular dysfunction and help to establish preventive measurements.
