Abstract
A six-year-old girl with syncope in association with atrial flutter-fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia produced by exercise or emotion is presented. The tachycardias could be reproduced by low-dose isoproterenol infusion and were blocked by high dose propranolol therapy. Catecholamine-induced tachyarrhythmias should be suspected in children with unexplained syncope in association with exercise or emotion.Entities:
