Key result
Atrial pacing induces reverse alternating Wenckebach periodicity in ~12% of children during EP study.
Why the study?
Atrial pacing-induced reverse conduction pattern of alternating Wenckebach periodicity had not been previously characterized in children during electrophysiologic study.
Observational (n=42)
Reverse alternating Wenckebach periodicity can be induced by atrial pacing in a subset of children undergoing electrophysiologic study.

Hypothesis-generating in pediatric EPS; leaves open its prevalence, mechanisms, and clinical relevance.
Young et al. (1987) conducted an observational in Children undergoing electrophysiologic study (n=42). Atrial pacing was evaluated on Reverse conduction pattern of the alternating Wenckebach periodicity. An atrial pacing-induced reverse conduction pattern of the alternating Wenckebach periodicity was observed in 12% (5 of 42) of children during electrophysiologic study.
