Abstract
Automatic ectopic tachycardias represent 14% of pediatric supraventricular tachycardia and a somewhat smaller percentage of the adult population [1, 2, 3, 4]. These tachycardias have been shown to result from enhanced automaticity in the atrium or AV junction by catheter electrophysiologic studies.
