The first part of the a article summarises the mechanisms, diagnostic techniques, and management of the most common arrhythmias
in children. In the second part, current topics in paediatric arrhythmology are discussed: catheter ablation, arrhythmias in patients
with congenital heart disease, implantable devices, foetal arrhythmias, inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes, and genetic testing.

Keywords: arrhythmias, children, catheter ablation, cardiac pacing, foetal arrhythmias, genetic testing
