[Paroxysmal tachycardia in infancy and childhood (author's transl)].
23 cases of paroxysmal tachycardia in infancy and childhood (22 cases of supraventricular and 1 case of ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia) are reported. Clinical problems of 13 infants aged 1 day to 6 months are compared with those of 10 children and discussed. A primary disease e.g. congenital heart disease, myocarditis was observed in 8 cases and WPW-syndrome in 4 cases. Owing to the threatening cardiac failure especially in infancy a special attention should be taken to the immediately diagnosis. Treatment and prevention are discussed.
