Abstract

In pediatric patients with a structurally normal heart, atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rare arrhythmia.^1-3 In children with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, AF at electrophysiologic study can be induced in 20% to 50% of patients.^4-5 This present study determines if the atria of pediatric patients with WPW are more vulnerable to AF than those of pediatric patients without WPW using transesophageal atrial pacing (TAP) to induce the AF.
