A 2-month-old baby boy was referred to our centre due to tachycardia and acute heart failure. The ECG showed a narrow complex tachycardia with a heart rate of 300 beats per minute (Figure 1). Echocardiographically, a patent foramen ovale and a parachute mitral valve with mild regurgitation were diagnosed; cardiac function was highly impaired.heartjnl;104/6/467/F1F1F1Figure 1ECG (50 mm/s) showing the small complex tachycardia.

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
