Abstract
Our experience suggests that the presence of tachyarrhythmias after pediatric heart transplantation is not rare and usually not associated with rejection. Pediatric heart transplant recipients have a higher incidence of ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) than their adult counterparts. Most tachyarrhythmias resolve after a relatively brief period of medical treatment and recurrence is uncommon.
