Are patients admitted to emergency departments with regular supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) treated appropriately? [PDF]
Regular supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Guidelines are available from the National Service Framework (NSF) for the treatment of patients attending emergency departments (ED) with SVT.

Unified Mechanism of Atrial Fibrillation in a Simple Model [PDF]
The mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF) is poorly understood, resulting in disappointing success rates of ablative treatment. Different mechanisms defined largely by different atrial activation patterns have been proposed and, arguably, this dispute has slowed the progress of AF research.

Surgical therapy for atrial tachycardia in adults [PDF]
Eighteen adult patients with atrial tachycardia refractory to treatment with a mean of four drugs underwent attempted surgical cure. Atrial tachycardia originated in the right atrium in 17 patients and the left atrium in 1 patient.

Catheter Ablation of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation became first-line therapy for supraventricular tachycardia in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome1–5 and atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT)6–11 in the early 1990s. High ablation success (>90%) and low complication rates (

The supraventricular tachycardias: Proposal of a diagnostic algorithm for the narrow complex tachycardias [PDF]
The narrow complex tachycardias (NCTs) are defined by the presence in a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) of a QRS complex duration less than 120ms and a heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute; those are typically of supraventricular origin, although

Assessment of lead augmented vector left (aVL on surface electrocardiogram) for confirming atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia [PDF]
Background: Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) stands as one of the most common forms of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), encompassing a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and diagnostic challenges.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome explained using abaroreflex response model [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) patients have abnormal low frequency $\approx 0.1$ Hz blood pressure and heart rate dynamics. These dynamics are attributed to the baroreflex and can give insight into the mechanistic causes which are the basis for proposed subgroups of POTS.

We aimed to create a new scoring system in extended follow‐up after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. The APCEL score (early recurrence: 3 points, AF duration >19 months: 2 points, persistent AF, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and left atrial volume index >31 mL/m2: 1 point) had a good predictive ability for late recurrence after AF ablation ...
