Breaktrough drug combination for Congenital Junctional Ectopic
Tachycardia: a pediatric case report.
Abstract
Introduction: Congenital Junctional Ectopic Tachycardia (JET) is a rare
tachyarrhythmia that remains difficult to manage with suboptimal control
in the majority of cases. Methods: Here, we report the successful use of
Ivabradine in combination with Flecainide for the therapy of congenital
JET resistant to multiple antiarrhythmic agents. Results: This new drug
combination was effective in completely suppressing JET . Conclusion:
Ivabradine in combination with Flecainide may be considered a new
therapeutic strategy of congenital JET with satisfactory
efficacy/tolerability ratio in patients resistant to conventional drug
combinations.
