Unmet need for pediatric cardiology services and correlates of referral in Ontario, 1975-1977.

We collected data on 930 neonates with structural congenital heart disease seen during 1975-1977 at the existing pediatric cardiac referral and treatment centers in Ontario. Estimates were made of unmet need for pediatric cardiology services in Ontario. The data showed that a number of counties had significantly low referral rates and that at least 25% of the newborns with severe structural heart disease (that is, 75 newborns each year) were not seen by pediatric cardiologists, although the children would benefit from prompt assessment and rapid treatment under specialist supervision.

Three years' experience with implanted pacemakers.

At the University Hospital, Saskatoon, over the last three years, pacemakers have been inserted in 40 patients with complete or incomplete heart block. Fourteen of the patients were females and 26 were males. The average age was 65 years; 12 were over 80 years of age, and the youngest patient was 8 years of age. In none was the heart block due to operation. Thirty-three patients are still alive and well. There have been seven deaths three early and four late. One patient died because of a "runaway" pacemaker, and two as a result of infection persisting around the pacemaker. Twenty-nine Medtronic pacemakers were used and 14 Atricor pacemakers; currently we favour the latter instrument.
