Key result
Neonatal tachycardia, especially rare arrhythmias like junctional ectopic tachycardia, can lead to cardiomyopathy and warrants further diagnostic evaluation for enterovirus myocarditis.
Why the study?
Differential diagnosis is challenging in poorly conditioned neonates in the emergency room, where tachycardia warrants consideration of cardiac arrhythmia and myocarditis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In poorly conditioned neonates, tachycardia should prompt investigation for cardiac arrhythmias and myocarditis to prevent progression to cardiomyopathy.
Differential diagnosis is challenging in poor conditioned neonates referred to the emergency room. Infectious disease is common, yet tachycardia should alert the clinician to look for cardiac arrhythmia and comprise. Tachycardia can lead to cardiomyopathy and should warrant further diagnostics for myocarditis, especially in rare or unusual combination of arrhythmias.
