Despite preserved left ventricular function, exercise capacity is often impaired after cardiac transplantation due to autonomic denervation of the donor's sinus node. We present our experience with atrio-atrial resynchronization in 2 pediatric heart transplant recipients. Both were highly active, suffered from chronotropic incompetence, and underwent successful atrial resynchronization with an objective improvement in exercise capacity, restoration of a physiologic chronotropic response, and resolution of dyspnea.

Objective: We sought to better define the electrophysiologic mechanism of atrial flutter in patients after heart transplantation.
Background: Atrial flutter is a recognized problem in the post-cardiac transplant population. The electrophysiologic basis of atrial flutter in this patient population is not completely understood.

A 66-year-old woman underwent mitral valve replacement and surgical isolation of the posterior part of the left atrium for persistent AF. During sinus rhythm an isolated atrial rhythm was recorded from the isolated posterior left atrium using an esophageal electrode catheter. After the intravenous administration of adenosine triphosphate sinus rhythm was suppressed and 1:1 conduction from the posterior left atrium to the rest of the atrium was recorded.
