We report on a 12-month-old boy with an ectopic atrial tachycardia successfully treated with the ivabradine that acts on cardiac pacemaker cells by selectively inhibiting the If channel. The patient was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia in another centre, and multi-drug therapy was unsuccessful to restore sinus ryhthm, so he was sent to our hospital for catheter ablation. We stopped the medications the patient was taking and started using ivabradine. Sinus rhythm was restored 2 hours after ivabradine treatment was started.
