[Lidocaine administration in a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and atrial fibrillation (author's transl)].

This report describes a case of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with atrial fibrillation in which the ventricular complexes conducted over the accessory pathway have promptly disappeared with the use of intravenously administered lidocaine. Lidocaine is suggested as the most suitable drug in such situations. Finally possible connections are presented between high dosage administered lidocaine and conversion to normal sinus rhythm.
