The aim of the study was the evaluation of the usefulness of transesophageal atrial pacing in predicting chronic oral treatment efficacy of symptomatic reciprocating supraventricular tachycardia in infants and in avoiding the risk of very dangerous recurrences at home. ⋯ Transesophageal atrial pacing seems to be useful in predicting accurately and rapidly the oral treatment efficacy of supraventricular tachycardia in infants. Our protocol seems to be effective to avoid dangerous recurrences of tachycardia and to decide when we can stop therapy without risk.
