Key result
Arrhythmias are confirmed in ~9% of suspected pediatric cases, predominantly involving SVT and underlying CHD.
Why the study?
Determining safe and effective pediatric antiarrhythmic therapy requires identifying underlying mechanisms, associated risk factors, and potential treatment side effects.

In a single-center Iraqi cohort, supraventricular tachycardia was the most common pediatric arrhythmia, frequently associated with congenital heart disease.
Hussein KHUDHAIR (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Pediatric arrhythmia (n=659). Among 659 pediatric patients suspected of arrhythmia, 64 (9%) had confirmed arrhythmias, with supraventricular tachycardia being the most prevalent (48.4%) and 60.9% having congenital heart disease.
