Key result
Neonatal arrhythmias are mostly benign but differ in etiology, manifestations, treatments, and prognosis from those in older children and adults.
This review provides an overview of neonatal arrhythmias to enhance pediatricians' understanding of their unique clinical features compared to older populations.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Highlights need for neonatal-specific protocols; leaves open gaps in prospective outcome data.
Neonatal cardiac arrhythmias are not uncommon due to the physiological and anatomical immaturity of the newborn's heart and under-development of the structures and the functions of the cardiac conducting system.As such, the etiology, manifestations, treatments and prognosis of neonatal arrhythmias differ from those in elder children and adults.Irregular rhythms in newborns are mostly benign.The clinical features of neonatal arrhythmias were reviewed, so as to enhance pediatricians' understanding of neonatal arrhythmias.
