Published: March 2001

In pediatric patients with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, intravenous propafenone exhibits its electrophysiologic effects in a dose-dependent manner by slowing or blocking retrograde conduction at the accessory connection. The high drug efficacy (81%) in terminating tachycardia is not dependent on patient age or retrograde conduction properties of the accessory connection.
