Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS AND RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: Short-term amiodarone in combination with digoxin/ propranolol is a safe and effective treatment strategy for infants/children with tachycardiomyopathy. Control of tachycardia is achieved in the majority, leading to recovery of ventricular function. This approach may avoid unnecessary ablations in children or at least postpone it till the procedure would be safer.
