Alerts clinicians to nonspecific neonatal signs warranting echocardiography; leaves open prospective validation of management strategies.
Neonatal arrhythmia can be a life threatening emergency. Diagnosis of arrhythmias in newborns need high index of suspicion as signs and symptoms are non specific mimicking common neonatal problems like sepsis. Arrhythmias in neonates also need echocardiographic evaluation to exclude underlying structural heart disease. The review describes diagnosis and management of common neonatal rhythm disturbances.
