Abstract 

Preexcitation developed post-operatively in a cardiac transplant recipient whose donor electrocardiogram was normal. An electrophysiology study revealed evidence of a mid-septal atrioventricular (AV) bypass tract. The patient is clinically well fourteen months after transplant and has intermittent preexcitation.
