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 ...

A percentage of patients with scar-related ventricular tachycardia who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation experienced early mortality, which may have been predicted by procedural and clinical ...

We performed a prospective observational study. Consecutive adult patients undergoing supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) ablation or curative left atrial ablation for paroxysmal AF over a 1-year ...

S AN FRANCISCO -- Noninvasive stereotactic radiotherapy (RT) for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) achieved outcomes similar to catheter ablation with substantially fewer serious adverse events ...

Radiation therapy may offer a comparable and potentially safer alternative to repeat catheter ablation for patients with ...

Patients with structural heart disease are at risk for life-threatening ventricular tachycardias (VTs). Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can terminate VT, but often at the cost of ...

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 ...

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 ...

The precise mechanisms underlying IST/POTS remain incompletely understood, with hypotheses implicating cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction, neurohormonal imbalance, hypersensitivity of the sinus node ...
