Pediheart Podcast #380: Does Phenylephrine Reliably Lower Heart Rate During Pediatric Congenital Heart Coronary CT Scans

This week we review a recent work from the CT group at NY Presbyterian assessing the impact of phenylephrine during pediatric congenital CT scans to lower heart rate. Why is a lower heart rate better for CCT's? Should this agent be routinely employed for this indication during CT scans in children? Dr. Yosef Cohen, pediatrics resident at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore shares his insights from a recent work he co-authored. doi: 10.1093/ehjimp/qyag023. eCollection 2025 Aug.
