Variable JET outcomes with medical therapy in small pediatric series warrant cautious individualized care; leaves open optimal strategies for prospective trials.
Case Report (n=6)
In children with junctional ectopic tachycardia, rate control with sotalol-based regimens or ablation can improve tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, though reversion to sinus rhythm is rare.
Cilliers et al. (1997) conducted a case report in Junctional ectopic tachycardia (n=6). Antiarrhythmic therapy (sotalol, amiodarone, digoxin) and radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Treatment response and survival. In six children with junctional ectopic tachycardia, sotalol alone or in combination partially reduced heart rate in four cases, though none reverted to sinus rhythm and one patient died.
