Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology

Background:

  • Sinus node reentrant tachycardia (SNRT) is a rare supraventricular tachycardia.
  • Diagnosis in neonates can be challenging due to subtle clinical presentations.

Observation:

  • A newborn presented with episodes of rapid heart rate.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via surface electrocardiogram (ECG).

Findings:

  • The patient experienced sinus node reentrant tachycardia.
  • High-dose verapamil administration successfully controlled the rate and duration of tachycardia episodes.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the utility of surface ECG in diagnosing neonatal SNRT.
  • Verapamil may be an effective treatment option for SNRT in newborns, even at high doses.
