Abstract
Arrhythmias in children pose distinct issues that necessitate individualized treatment strategies. This review discussed both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological approaches for controlling arrhythmias in Saudi Arabian children. Pharmacological treatments largely include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, digoxin, and amiodarone, which are selected based on the kind of arrhythmia and the patient’s clinical status. Nonpharmacological treatments include electrophysiological tests, catheter ablation, and pacemaker installation, which are required for certain arrhythmias, particularly in situations of structural cardiac disease or post-operative problems. Arrhythmias, including junctional ectopic tachycardia, atrioventricular block, and supraventricular tachycardia, were found in pediatric cardiac surgery patients, highlighting the importance of close monitoring and management measures. This research emphasizes the necessity of a complete approach that incorporates both therapy modalities to improve outcomes for pediatric arrhythmia patients in Saudi Arabia.
