Ibutilide promptly restored sinus rhythm on two occasions in an elderly patient with AF and rapid ventricular response associated with the WPW syndrome. As a selective Class III antiarrhythmic agent that prolongs cardiac refractoriness, ibutilide offers an alternative effective therapy for rapid termination of AF in WPW.
