| Summary: | Pediatric dysrhythmias are rare but important causes
of admission to pediatric clinics and emergency departments.
Due to the development of successful surgical
treatment of congenital heart diseases and improvements
in the diagnostic tools, pediatric dysrhythmias are more
frequently diagnosed. Although pediatric dysrhythmias
are may be asymptomatic, they may manifest with weakness,
dizziness, decrease in the effort capacity, easy fatigability,
irregularity in heartbeats, palpitations, syncope
and cardiac arrest. Since dysrhythmias may give rise to
significant hemodynamic outcomes, their recognition by
pediatricians and family physicians is vital for the patients.
This review aims to contribute to the correct diagnosis
and management of the cases with frequently encountered
pediatric dysrhythmias. |
