[Atrial fibrillation and flutter in children]

T Battaglia, A Attanà, A Fumarulo

    Minerva Medica
    |April 2, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Flutter and atrial fibrillation are uncommon in pediatric patients. Treatment approaches vary, often involving digitalis or other antiarrhythmic drugs, with no universally standard protocol for these rare arrhythmias.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Cardiac Electrophysiology

    Context:

    • Flutter and atrial fibrillation are rare in children.
    • Etiology and pathogenesis are case-specific.
    • Clinical presentation is influenced by age, arrhythmia duration, and ventricular rate.

    Purpose:

    • To review the current understanding of pediatric flutter and atrial fibrillation.
    • To discuss the variable factors influencing clinical presentation and natural history.
    • To outline current therapeutic strategies for these arrhythmias in children.

    Summary:

    • Pediatric flutter and atrial fibrillation have diverse causes and presentations.
    • The natural history is often linked to co-existing heart conditions (cardiopathies).
    • Treatment is not standardized, with digitalis, amiodarone, or verapamil being common choices.
