Paroxysmal auricular tachycardia associated with wolff-parkinson-white syndrome in a newborn infant

This is a case report of a 48-hour-old infant hospitalized because of cyanosis and rapid respiration. Besides the common complications of paroxysmal tachycardia and congestive failure, 9 there were electrocardiographic evidences of paroxysmal tachycardia and of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The congestive failure and paroxysmal tachycardia responded clinically and electrocardiographically to digitalization, the rhythm and rate returned to normal, and the cardiac dilatation subsided, but evidence of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome still persisted on electrocardiograms.
