Abstract

We report the case of a young boy on routine sports medical examination, who presented an incessant atrial tachycardia. At the slightest exercise the ventricular rhythm accelerated to 160 beats.min-1. Exercise capacity was excellent, and a treatment with propafenone suppressed the tachyarrhythmia.
