Pharmacological resynchronisation with flecainide in an infant with Ebstein anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern: a case report

There is a known association between Ebstein anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern. Right-sided septal accessory pathways can cause cardiomyopathy secondary to dyssynchronous left ventricular contraction. In patients who are unsuitable for accessory pathway ablation, flecainide can be used to block antegrade conduction via the accessory pathway resulting in improved left ventricular function, which was successful on this occasion.

Abstract

There is a known association between Ebstein anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern. Right-sided septal accessory pathways can cause cardiomyopathy secondary to dyssynchronous left ventricular contraction. In patients who are unsuitable for accessory pathway ablation, flecainide can be used to block antegrade conduction via the accessory pathway resulting in improved left ventricular function, which was successful on this occasion.
