Supraventricular Tachycardia: Which Patient Should be Treated with Radiofrequency Ablation?
Author(s): Etienne Delacrétaz Added: 3 years ago
Catheter ablation of SVT has emerged as a curative treatment with high success rates and plays a central role in the management of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).This short review aims to give an update on the outcomes of catheter ablation and provide a guide to appropriate decision making in patients with SVT. Mechanisms of SVT Tachycardias can be categorized as ventricular (involving the… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Loukas Pappas , Michalis Efremidis , Konstantinos P Letsas , et al Added: 3 years ago
A 49-year-old man was admitted to the cardiology department because of an episode of palpitations, dizziness, and epigastric discomfort. He had no history of heart disease, but he reported episodes of regular palpitations during the past year. His standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) on admission was unremarkable. Physical examination and routine laboratory examinations, including blood and… View more

Diagnosis and Treatment of Fetal Tachyarrhythmias
Author(s): Jennifer N Avari , Edward K Rhee Added: 3 years ago
Fetal tachyarrhythmias occur in approximately 0.4-0.6% of all fetuses.1-3 Normal fetal heart rates range from 120-160 beats per minute (bpm), with rates greater than 180bpm indicative of tachycardia.4-7 Usually, fetal arrhythmias are isolated findings; however, 5% of fetuses will also have congenital heart disease,8,9 such as Ebstein's anomaly, atrioventricular canal, hypoplastic left heart… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis Added: 3 years ago
Supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) are common, with an estimated prevalence of 2.25/1,000 persons and an incidence of 35/100,000 person-years.1 Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), in particular, represents the most common regular arrhythmia in the human, and its proportion increases with age.2 However, the European Society of Cardiology has not published management guidelines… View more

Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Re-entrant Tachycardia
Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis Added: 3 years ago
Although the exact circuit of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) still eludes us, AVNRT is the most common regular arrhythmia in humans, and therefore the most commonly encountered during ablation attempts for regular tachycardias.1–4 Catheter ablation for AVNRT is the current treatment of choice in symptomatic patients. It reduces arrhythmia-related hospitalisations and costs,… View more
