Abstract

A neonate was seen for an evolving broad QRS complex rhythm initially captured at birth as intermittent escape beats on electrocardiogram. Continuous monitoring recorded features mimicking pre-excitation, but closer analysis revealed a regular broad QRS complex rhythm with isorhythmic atrioventricular dissociation, favouring a ventricular source. Treatment with flecainide and propranolol achieved successful control of the incessant arrhythmia with improvement in cardiac function on echocardiogram.
