A 9-year-old boy with heart failure and long-term incessant atrial tachycardia mimicking dilated cardiomyopathy was treated surgically. Intraoperatively he was found to have atrial aneurysm, and the ectopic automatic focus was located at the base of it. Excision of the aneurysm including the focus without using cardiopulmonary bypass cured the tachycardia and heart failure.
