Abstract
In the fetal and early neonatal period, clinically significant arrhythmias are remarkably rare whose medical management has been an area of dilemma in terms of safety and efficacy. We present a case of a hemodynamically stable female neonate presenting to us with atrial tachycardia with morphology of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFl). After a poor response to multiple antiarrhythmics, direct current cardioversion (DCC) was the final solution. Short-term maintenance therapy with oral propranolol was given with no recurrence. Hence, stepwise approach to infants with AFl can lead to an excellent prognosis with a low risk of recurrence.
