[Study of cardiac arrhythmias in the healthy newborn infant].
Of 426 infants born at the end of a regular pregnancy and delivery, which are apparently in good health, thirteen, showed cardiac arrhythmias (atrial, supraventricular, ventricular premature beats, and parasistole) on a standard E.C.G. and on a unique lead (DII carried out in the first 24 hours of life. This study points out the rise of disorders of the rhythm in healthy newborn infants and suggest further prospectives of research in the natural history of arrhythmias. Furthermore it underlines as the neonatal electrocardiography, simple and non invasive procedure, could be a good help in comparison with the screenings of the newborn. In all cases we have noticed the spontaneous resolution of arrhythmias the second week of life.
