In pediatric age supraventricular tachiarrhythmias represent one of the most common cause of admission in cardiology units. Supraventricular arrhythmias may significantly influence the normal growth of a child with significant psycho-social implications. Pediatric cardiologists should be aware about the arrhythmias they face in their clinical practice.
