title: Spontaneous regression over a 16-year period of tachyarrhythmias to sick sinus syndrome and complete atrioventricular block in a young patient with Ebstein's anomaly.
abstract: A 25-year-old man with Ebstein's anomaly showed spontaneous regression of tachyarrhythmias to sick sinus syndrome and complete atrioventricular block over a 16-year period. This is the first clinical report supporting the hypothesis that abnormal cell death might contribute to the disturbance of the heart conduction system in Ebstein's anomaly.
