BURGOA VARGAS, Javier Agustín; PATINO BAHENA, Emilia Josefina; TRUJEQUE RUIZ, Ana Laura    HERRERA CUSICANQUI, Juan José. Atypical atrial flutter in a child with structurally normal heart. []. , 53, 2, pp.71-74. ISSN 1024-0675.

Atrial flutter is an uncommon cause of supraventricular tachycardia in children, with an incidence of 0.01%, which is underestimated by the low rate of clinical suspicion. The case of a child with the rare association of atrial flutter is presented: school-age debut, structurally normal heart, and reentry circuit located in the left atrium. Correct treatment of supraventricular tachycardia was important for adequate diagnosis and long-term management of the arrhythmia.
