Abstract
Supraventricular tachycardia due to accessory atrioventricular connect ions in infants is usually well-tolerated. Rarely an infant can have s upraventricular tachycardia that is incessant and refractory to medica l therapy. We describe a patient with supraventricular tachycardia det ected prenatally that caused severe cardiac dysfunction and hemodynami c instability after birth.
