El Hospital Sant Joan de Déu opera con éxito las arritmias de una bebé de 1'3 kilos

Barcelona, February 27 (EFE) - The Arrhythmia Unit at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona has successfully operated on a baby weighing just 1,310 grams, the smallest patient in the world to undergo cardiac ablation, as she suffered from heart rate of up to 300 beats per minute inside the mother's womb, compared to a normal rate of 150. Little María underwent successful surgery on January 4 after all the drugs given to the mother while pregnant and to the baby after birth following an induced labor due to this condition were ineffective, and she continued to suffer from incessant tachycardia.
