Supraventricular microreentry in a newborn due to a giant atrial septum aneurysm

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Aug 30;5(10):1654-1657. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1077. eCollection 2017 Oct.

Abstract

Supraventricular arrhythmias in neonates are rare and mostly not related to structural heart defects. We present the first case of a newborn with a supraventricular microreentrant tachycardia possibly associated with an atrial septum aneurysm and emphasize the importance of a thorough diagnostic workup allowing a fast and adequate therapy.

Keywords: Aneurysmatic atrial septum; atrial flutter; ectopic atrial tachycardia; microreentry tachycardia; newborn; supraventricular arrhythmia.
