Abstract
A general discussion of arrhythmias as followed by a brief description of two of the commonly encountered dysrhythmias in the pediatric age group, i.e., paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and complete AV block. The use of verapamil a slow-channel blocker in the treatment of the former is described. The problems of permanent cardiac pacing in children are also dealt with.
