Abstract

During the neonatal period the majority of cardiac tumors seen are rhabdomyomas, and the clinical manifestations are notably variable. Symptoms of rhabdomyoma depend on the presence of intracardiac obstructions, myocardial involvement, or rhythm disturbances. Most cardiac rhabdomyomas regress in follow-up, but some need medical/surgical intervention during the neonatal period as a result of resistant atrial or ventricular arrhythmia. The present case study is a description of an 8-day-old neonate with atrial bigeminy that caused nonconducted premature pulse-related bradycardia, and cardiac rhabdomyoma-related resistant atrial flutter that were detected and successfully treated.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.
