Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report a case of 2:1 atrioventricular block associated with acquired long QT syndrome. A newborn presented to our neonatal intensive care unit with intermittent bradycardia due to 2:1 atrioventricular block. Initial evaluation showed QT prolongation and significant electrolytic abnormalities. After correction of the electrolytic imbalance, the QT interval normalized and atrioventricular block resolved. Compared to congenital long QT syndrome with 2:1 atrioventricular block, acquired long QT syndrome with comparable atrioventricular block has a benign prognosis, provided treatment is initiated quickly. |
