New preexcitation following cardiac transplant

Int J Cardiol. 1998 Jun 1;65(1):71-4. doi: 10.1016/s0167-5273(98)00098-9.

Abstract

Preexcitation developed post-operatively in a cardiac transplant recipient whose donor electrocardiogram was normal. An electrophysiology study revealed evidence of a mid-septal atrioventricular (AV) bypass tract. The patient is clinically well fourteen months after transplant and has intermittent preexcitation.
