Abstract
Several studies have shown that most sustained supraventricular tachyc ardia can be induced during electrophysiologic studies.(1-11) However, some documented tachyarrhythmias could not be induced during such stu dies despite infusion of isoproterenol and atropine. To study the elec trophysiologic mechanisms and characteristics of these patients is imp ortant because the correct diagnosis and target site selected for abla tion may be overlooked.
