Heart rhythm disturbances in newborns in the early neonatal period

Abstract

Neonatal arrhythmia is not a rare condition, and may occur both in patients with structural heart disease and in children with functional cardiovascular disorders as well as in a relatively small number of healthy newborns. The article presents the results of the study of basic parameters of electrical activity of the heart in newborns with administration of daily ECG monitoring. The study involved examination of 187 infants in the early neonatal period. Assessment of the data of obstetric and gynecological history and extragenital pathology of the mothers of the examined children, analysis of the data of Holter ECG monitoring of newborns showed the most frequently occurring types of neonatal arrhythmias and significant risk factors for their development.
