My 2 year old son has SVT. He has had to have conversions done twice, once at 2 months (hr was 310bpm) and once at 11 months. Both times conversions were done via IV. Scariest two days of my life. He hasn't had one in more than a year, but he's on Digoxin. The first medicine was Propanalol after his second episode, and that was the worst month. He was not the same little boy, didn't sleep, he would wake up screaming, it was very traumatic.

His cardiologist says if he has repeated episodes, that he would have a catheter ablation when he is 7.
