Supraventricular Tachycardia Developed by the Concealed Bypass Tract in a Parturient: A case report

AbstractSupraventricular tachycardia is the most common significant arrhythmia in children. If prolonged, it may cause heart failure and progress to cardiogenic shock warranting prompt treatment. The recommended interventions following vagal manoeuvres are intravenous adenosine and in the unstable patient electrical cardioversion. We present an infant with an unstable supraventricular tachycardia that was resistant to electrical cardioversion and recommended doses of adenosine. He reverted to sinus rhythm with a higher dose of adenosine, suggesting that such doses may be required in refractory supraventricular tachycardia.

Insight Into

Supraventricular tachycardia is the most common tachyarrhythmia seen in fetuses, neonates and infants. Sustained SVT may lead to congestive cardiac failure. Neonatal supraventricular tachycardia is more commonly associated with other cardiorespiratory and congenital problems and is uncommon in an otherwise healthy infant. Supraventricular tachycardia is also caused by neonatal sepsis but has rarely been reported. Here, we report two cases of SVT (Supraventricular tachycardia) induced by neonatal sepsis. Two neonates, one male and another female, both born to Indian mother had tachycardia with heart rate > 220 beats/minute along with poor perfusion, tachypnoea, fever and deranged coagulation profile. Both the babies had culture positive gram negative sepsis with normal echocardiography and supraventricular tachycardia on electrocardiograms which were treated with anti arrhythmic drugs and treatment of sepsis. This case report gives further insight into one more presentation and complication of neonatal sepsis.
