    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Cardiology
    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • Congenital atrial flutter is a rare but serious condition in newborns.
    • Prenatal diagnosis of fetal arrhythmias is increasingly possible.
    • Management strategies for congenital arrhythmias require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two cases of congenital atrial flutter.
    • To document the efficacy of digoxin in treating fetal and neonatal atrial flutter.
    • To explore potential etiological factors in congenital atrial flutter.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of two neonates diagnosed with congenital atrial flutter.
    • Electrocardiographic documentation, including prenatal monitoring in one case.
    • Treatment with digoxin and observation of rhythm conversion.

    Main Results:

    • Sinus rhythm was successfully restored in both patients with digoxin.
    • One patient experienced transient arrhythmias before achieving sinus rhythm.
    • No congenital cardiac malformations or maternal diseases were identified.
    • The role of maternal medication during pregnancy as a causative factor remains uncertain.

    Conclusions:

    • Digoxin is an effective treatment for congenital atrial flutter in neonates.
    • Congenital atrial flutter can be diagnosed and managed effectively.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the etiology of congenital arrhythmias.
