Association of clinical characteristics of unexplained syncope with the outcome of head-up tilt tests in children.

abstract：:Once a mainstay in the treatment of neonates with d-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA), the application of balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) in the d-TGA population has become more selective. Currently, there is no clear evidence for or against a selective BAS strategy. The aims of this single-center retrospect...
