  • Title: Adenosine- and verapamil-sensitive ventricular tachycardia in the newborn.
    Author: Ozer S, Allen S, Schaffer MS.
    Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 2001 May; 24(5):898-901. PubMed ID: 11388113.
    Abstract:
    Two neonates presented with sustained, monomorphic VT. Transesophageal electrophysiological studies demonstrated that the VTs were initiated with burst atrial pacing in one and noninducible in the other, and both terminated with burst atrial pacing and with adenosine. Oral verapamil suppressed the VTs in both. Following discontinuation of verapamil at 1 year of age, both children remain free of tachycardia recurrence at 3 and 4 years of age. These cases suggest that cAMP-mediated triggered activity may be responsible for some VTs in infancy.
