Multifocal atrial tachycardia is a rare supraventricular arrhythmia in neonates and young infants that is characterized by multiple P waves with varying P wave morphology and is usually asymptomatic.
Features include always present findings: Tachycardia, Abnormal PR interval, Irregular RR interval, and Irregular P-P interval; and common findings: Atrial flutter, Atrial fibrillation, Atrioventricular valve regurgitation, and Fetal tachycardia. 25 total HPO annotations.
