Electrophysiologic studies in sick sinus syndrome following surgery for d-transposition of the great arteries.
His bundle electrograms and atrial pacing are reported in a 10 1/2-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, both of whom underwent Mustard repair for complete d-transposition of the great arteries.
