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 ...

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

A total of 38 AF ablation patients and 38 SVT ablation patients were included in the analysis (all with first follow-up). While the AF subjects were older and more often male, none of the other ...

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 ...

Ablation strategies for almost all types of ventricular tachycardias have now been established. The optimal ablation strategy for ventricular tachycardia is determined by the site of origin and the ...

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 ...

We reviewed randomized controlled trials, review articles and clinical practice guidelines to present a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of SVTs (Box 1). We focus on the most common ...

Ventricular tachycardia, or V-tach (VT), and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are two types of tachycardia. The term “tachycardia” refers to a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute. The key ...

We report the case of a 56-year-old man who had sudden palpitations, lightheadedness, chest pain, and dyspnea. Paramedics arrived within about 10 minutes after the onset of symptoms and found that the ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Patients with scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) who received VT ablation plus a subcutaneous ICD had ...

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a heart rhythm disorder that originates in the heart’s upper chambers, called the atria. The primary symptom of SVT is a rapid heartbeat. There are several types ...
