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 ...

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

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 ...

It’s easy to confuse atrial fibrillation (AFib) with what’s called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). After all, both have to do with your heart rate and both start in the upper chambers of your ...

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 ...
