Ablation of supraventricular tachycardia in elderly persons presents a challenging problem to electrophysiologists. Friable cardiac structures, prone to catheter perforation, comorbid cardiovascular ...

Catheter ablation was not the first-line treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) for most patients referred to a tertiary center, a study shows, with investigators suggesting the procedure is ...

A recent study published in Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology (PACE) determined that the use of catheter ablation to treat supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is not detrimental to patients. This ...

Dr. Timm Dickfeld answers the question: 'What Is Supraventricular Tachycardia?' — -- Question: What does SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) mean, and is it similar to atrial fibrillation? Answer ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

A 61-year-old man with a history of arterial hypertension and heart failure (ejection fraction, 50%) was previously diagnosed with atrial tachyarrhythmia originating from the anterior region of the ...

The electrophysiologic mechanism may be due to either enhanced automaticity or triggered activity. In contrast to the paroxysmal variety, the nonparoxysmal type develops gradually and disappears ...
