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 ...

The His bundle electrograms are marked, particularly the more proximal ones (large atrial electrograms with smaller His electrograms). The roof and floor of the coronary sinus are then tagged. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Atrial flutter, the second most common pathologic supraventricular tachycardia, results from a reentrant circuit around the tricuspid valve in the right atrium (although atypical flutters do occur, ...

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 ...

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 ...
