“…11,12 In one study, it was reported that amiodarone treatment successfully converted atrial flutter to normal sinus rhythm without the application of electrical cardioversion. 13 In this study, a newborn infant with narrow QRS complex tachycardia was shown to have atrial flutter with a typical sawtooth pattern underlying after intravenous administration of adenosine. In addition, flecainide acetate, amiodarone, sotalol hydrochloride or combinations of these drugs were Figure 3.…”

The most common tachyarrhythmias in childhood are narrow QRS complex tachyarrhythmias. The majority of these are supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). If electrocardiography is inconsistent with typical SVT, another underlying arrhythmia should be considered. In this case, a patient with narrow complex tachycardia who was diagnosed with atrial flutter after adenosine was presented to increase awareness on the subject.

“…11 Successful use of amiodarone therapy to achieve pharmacological cardioversion in stable babies has also been reported. 12 Use of amiodarone is also associated with various adverse effects. Common adverse effects reported in newborns include bradycardia, choreatic movements, hypothyroidism, elevation of liver enzymes, hypotension, and dysrhythmias.…”

Neonatal atrial flutter is a rare entity seen in the newborn period. With prompt treatment, they mostly revert to normal rhythm, with good long-term prognosis. But prolonged untreated atrial flutter can result in heart failure. This necessitates prompt diagnosis and treatment of the condition. However, all available treatment modalities are not effective in all patients. Here, we report 2 newborns with atrial flutter who did not respond initially to medical management, but eventually responded to cardioversion, with good outcome.
