Abstract

Expertise in pediatric arrhythmia management is lacking in most low- and middle- income countries (LMIC). Strategies to disseminate education in pediatric electrophysiology are essential to meet this need. Children's Heartbeat was created to meet the growing demand for pediatric electrophysiologic consultation in LMIC. Children's Heartbeat is a virtual video-conferencing program that uses the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes model to disseminate knowledge about pediatric arrhythmia management from pediatric electrophysiologists to clinicians in medically under-resourced regions worldwide. Monthly virtual case-based sessions are held with pediatric electrophysiologists and clinicians in medically under-resourced settings to discuss pediatric electrophysiology management. Since its inception, Children's Heartbeat viewership has grown exponentially to include 181 total registrants, 64 average monthly participants, and an additional 121 average viewers of recorded sessions. Attendees have expressed increased confidence in pediatric arrhythmia management. Children's Heartbeat has successfully provided pediatric electrophysiology consultation to medically under-resourced regions globally and have increased clinicians' confidence in caring for children with arrhythmias. Future directions include spreading the program to general pediatric and pediatric cardiology trainees and practicing pediatricians in rural parts of high-income countries and evaluating the direct impact of Children's Heartbeat on the management of arrhythmias in pediatric patients in LMIC.

儿童的心跳：普及儿童心律失常知识的网络计划。

大多数中低收入国家（LMIC）都缺乏小儿心律失常管理方面的专业知识。为满足这一需求，传播儿科电生理学教育的战略至关重要。儿童心跳 "就是为了满足中低收入国家日益增长的儿科电生理学咨询需求而创建的。儿童心跳 "是一项虚拟视频会议计划，采用社区医疗保健成果推广模式，将儿科电生理学家的儿科心律失常管理知识传播给全球医疗资源匮乏地区的临床医生。儿科电生理学家和医疗资源匮乏地区的临床医生每月举行一次基于病例的虚拟会议，讨论儿科电生理学管理问题。自创办以来，"儿童心跳 "的收视率成倍增长，总注册人数达到 181 人，平均每月有 64 人参加，录制课程的平均收视人数达到 121 人。参加者对儿科心律失常管理的信心大增。儿童心跳 "项目成功地为全球医疗资源匮乏的地区提供了儿科电生理学咨询，增强了临床医生治疗儿童心律失常的信心。未来的发展方向包括向高收入国家农村地区的普通儿科和儿科心脏病学受训者以及执业儿科医生推广该项目，并评估 "儿童心跳 "项目对低收入国家儿科患者心律失常管理的直接影响。
