Complete atrioventricular dissociation and His bundle tachycardia in a newborn: problems in prenatal diagnosis and postnatal management

International Journal of Cardiology
P E PolakJ Hess

Abstract

A newborn infant with complete atrioventricular dissociation and infranodal tachycardia, detected at 33 weeks gestation by fetal echocardiography, is described. In the perinatal period, infra or juxta-nodal tachycardia was noted, compromising the hemodynamic state of the newborn. A combination of flecainide and propranolol terminated the arrhythmia.

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.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

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.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.
