Institutional experience of healthy pediatric patients presenting with atrial fibrillation who had an electrophysiology study

ConclusionsAdult risk factors of male predominance and obesity were seen in pediatric AF patients, while left atrial enlargement was not. Twenty ‐one percent of the pediatric AF patients who had additional electrophysiologic substrates and successful ablations resulted in no further clinical episodes of AF. This suggests that pediatric patients presenting with AF might benefit from an EPS as part of a complete evaluation.
