Ectopic atrial tachycardia in children.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) is an unusual and potentially risky arrhythmia that can result in left ventricular dysfunction if not properly managed. In adults, EAT is mainly caused by diseased atrial myocardium and responds poorly to antiarrhythmic drugs. The characteristics of EAT in children might be different from those in adults because of their immature myocardiu...
متن کاملClinical recognition and treatment of atrial ectopic tachycardia in newborns.

This study addresses the clinical recognition and drug therapy of AET in neonates. METHODS Retrospective chart and database review of neonates diagnosed with AET between 1994 and 2002. RESULTS AET was diagnosed in 19 neonates at a media...

متن کاملPrevalence and natural course of ectopic atrial tachycardia.
AIMS The purpose of this study was to calculate the prevalence of ectopic atrial tachycardia in a population of young asymptomatic males and to assess its natural course both in asymptomatic subjects and in symptomatic hospital patients. METHODS AND RESULTS 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) of 3554 consecutive males applying for a pilot's licence were analysed. ECGs of symptomatic arrhythmia p...
متن کاملManagement of paroxysmal ectopic atrial tachycardia with long sinus pauses in a teenager
Sinus pauses in the setting of supraventricular tachycardia is rare in children. We describe an asymptomatic teen with irregular heart rate detected during an incidental exam who was found to have short runs of a slow ectopic atrial tachycardia on electrocardiogram and prolonged sinus pauses on routine ambulatory ECG. Successful catheter ablation of the ectopic atrial tachycardia led to resolut...
