Case Reports
Left atrial thrombus in a neonate with normal heart after sustained supraventricular tachycardia
J Clin Diagn Res.
2014 Jul.
Abstract
Left Atrial Thrombus is uncommon in neonates. We present a neonate who had Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), whose echocardiography revealed a large left atrial thrombus which resolved later with treatment. Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT) is not an uncommon event in infants with an incidence of 1:2500.
Keywords: Echocardiography; Left atrial thrombus; Neonates; Supraventricular tachycardia.
