Intracardiac electrography and pacing can successfully terminate supraventricular tachycardia in a neonate with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, with transient left ventricular dysfunction that normalizes over time.
A neonatal patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White type A and supraventricular tachycardia is described. Demonstration of the mechanism of the tachycardia and its termination were achieved using intracardiac electrography and cardiac pacing. Quantitative left ventricular angiography and echocardiography showed impaired left ventricular function following the arrhythmia. Serial echocardiograms demonstrated the subsequent return to normal left ventricular performance.

Kaye et al. (1975) conducted a case report in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and supraventricular tachycardia (n=1). Intracardiac electrography and cardiac pacing was evaluated. Intracardiac electrography and cardiac pacing successfully terminated supraventricular tachycardia in a neonate with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, with subsequent return of normal LV function.
