Isolated neonatal atrial flutter: clinical features, prognosis and therapy.

Abstract

Neonatal atrial flutter is an arrhythmia with significant acute morbidity but an excellent long-term prognosis. Electrical cardioversion is the first-choice treatment when the arrhythmia is not well-tolerated hemodynamically, while class III antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone should be preferred in the other cases.
