Abstract
Tachycardia is a common observation in children which can represent many different physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Identification of cardiac arrhythmias as the cause of tachycardia can be difficult. This case-based discussion aims to illustrate the factors within history, examination, and clinical investigations which can lead the Foundation Year doctor to consider arrhythmia in their differential diagnosis. In addition, this article outlines evidence-based management of the most common clinically significant arrhythmia presenting in paediatric patients - supraventricular tachycardia.
