Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2000, Vol 2, Issue 1

Clinical features along with ECG help diagnosis of this common paediatric arrhythmia. Acute management has been facilitated with the introduction of adenosine. However, longterm management continues to be a topic for debate.
