To assess reproducibility in evaluating arrhythmias in children, two maximal treadmill exercise tests using the Bruce protocol were performed an average of 3.1 months apart in 19 children aged 5 to 16 years (mean 11) with chronic idiopathic ventricular (Group 1) and supraventrlcular (Group II) arrhy...
