Popis: Background: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common arrhythmia. Infants with SVT are often admitted to initiate antiarrhythmics. Transesophageal pacing (TEP) studies can be used to guide therapy prior to discharge. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of TEP studies on length of stay (LOS), readmission, and cost in infants with SVT. Methods: This was a 2-site retrospective review of infants with SVT. One site (Center TEPS) utilized TEP studies in all patients. The other (Center NOTEP) did not. Patients with structural heart disease, patients with gestational age
