Congenital Atrial Flutter: Report of a Case Documented by Intra-uterine Electrocardiogram

Abstract
A newborn infant shown to have atrial flutter in utero and after delivery was successfully converted to normal sinus rhythm with intramuscular digoxin. He remains well at 2 years of age. This is the first patient to be reported in whom atrial flutter was demonstrated by intra-uterine electrocardiography. This arrhythmia, when present in newborn infants without other signs of heart disease, has a good prognosis.
