Abstract
A retrospective review of pediatric electrophysiology studies undertaken fo r documented supraventricular tachycardia demonstrates that sinoatrial node reentrant tachycardia occurs in infants, particularly after surgery for co ngenital heart disease, and can cause hemodynamic compromise despite its sl ow rate. It may be managed acutely with adenosine and is suppressed by sing le-drug therapy.
