Therapy Of Cardiac Arrhythmias In Children: An Emerging Role Of Electroanatomical Mapping Systems.

CONCLUSIONS: The first reasonable approach in cardiac arrhythmias involving younger patients seems to be pharmacological. However antiarrhythmic drugs pose problems both in terms of side effects and often have poor efficacy. Expertise in electrophysiological techniques is constantly increasing and the development of new technologies allow us to encourage the use of electroanatomical mapping systems in order to reduce the radiation exposure in children undergoing to catheter ablation, especially for accessory pathways.
