| Résumé | {When non-invasive studies remain negative, the diagnosis of unexplained tachycardia in the young is a dilemma. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors of negativity of transesophageal electrophysiological study (EPS) in children/teenagers complaining of tachycardia and the prognostic value. Two hundred and seventy-three children with a normal ECG in sinus rhythm, aged from 6 to 19 years (15 +/- A 3), complained of tachycardia. Transesophageal EPS consisted of atrial stimulation in control state and after isoproterenol. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) was induced in 149 patients (group I) and EPS remained negative in 124 (group II). Age did not differ (15 +/- A 3 vs 15 +/- A 3). Female gender and familial history of SVT were as frequent in group I (47, 11 %) than in group II (55 % |
