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 ...

Dear Dr. Donohue: What is SVT? What causes it? What is heart ablation? My grandmother, my mother and I all have had SVT episodes. I required heart ablation. -- J.P. Dear J.P.: "SVT" is short for ...

The FDA approved etripamil (Cardamyst) nasal spray for at-home treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), ...

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 ...
