Ivabradine for Incessant Atrial Tachycardia in a 1-Year-Old Child After Tetralogy of Fallot Repair
Discussion: Ivabradine may be an option for incessant atrial tachycardia in pediatric patients. Although most tachyarrhythmias following TOF repair occur due to a reentry mechanism, focal mechanisms can also occur, suggested by timing, gradual acceleration after cardioversion and its response to iva...

| Summary: | Discussion: Ivabradine may be an option for incessant atrial tachycardia in pediatric patients. Although most tachyarrhythmias following TOF repair occur due to a reentry mechanism, focal mechanisms can also occur, suggested by timing, gradual acceleration after cardioversion and its response to ivabradine. Future studies are needed to further understand the safety and efficacy of ivabradine for atrial tachycardia in pediatric patients. |
