Abstract:
A newborn infant with complete atrioventricular dissociation and infranodal tachycardia, detected at 33 weeks gestation by fetal echocardiography, is described. In the perinatal period, infra or juxta-nodal tachycardia was noted, compromising the hemodynamic state of the newborn. A combination of flecainide and propranolol terminated the arrhythmia.
