Supraventricular arrhythmias in children

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1985
Sudden death may occur in children with supraventricular arrhythmias. Sick sinus syndrome, particularly if associated with tachycardia, may result in sudden death in children who have had open heart surgery and rarely in children with a normal heart. Children with supraventricular tachycardia rarely die. Only those with junctional automatic tachycardia

Catheter Ablation of Supraventricular Arrhythmias: [PDF]

Heart Rhythm, 2004
The era of catheter ablation for the treatment of arrhythmias began in 1981, when Dr. Melvin Scheinman performed the first atrioventricular junction ablation using direct-current shocks in a patient with drug-refractory atrial fibrillation and an uncontrolled ventricular rate.1 Because of the barotrauma associated with intracardiac high-energy shocks ...

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias [PDF]

Heart, 2001
For most types of supraventricular arrhythmias medical treatment with antiarrythmic drugs is not completely effective. In addition to poor or sporadic efficacy, such drugs can be associated with a number of bothersome and even fatal side effects (although rarely), proarrhythmia, cost, and inconvenience.

Supraventricular arrhythmia in pregnancy [PDF]

Heart, 2022
The physiological changes during pregnancy predispose a woman for the development of new-onset or recurrent arrhythmia. Supraventricular arrhythmia is the most common form of arrhythmia during pregnancy and, although often benign in nature, can be concerning. We describe three complex cases of supraventricular arrhythmia during pregnancy and review the

Prognostic Implications of Supraventricular Arrhythmias [PDF]

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2021
The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence and prognostic implication of progressive supraventricular arrhythmias from frequent supraventricular ectopic complexes, isolated, in bi- or trigeminy, to supraventricular tachycardias with different characteristics. In the STROKESTOP I mass-screening study for atrial fibrillation (AF) in 75- and 76-

Fetal Tachyarrhythmia - Part I: Diagnosis [PDF]

, 2004
Fetal tachycardia, first recognized in 1930 by Hyman et al1, is a condition occurring in approximately 0.4-0.6% of all pregnancies2. A subset of these cases with more sustained periods of tachycardia is clinically relevant.

Arrhythmia induction using isoproterenol or epinephrine during electrophysiology study for supraventricular tachycardia [PDF]

, 2018
Background Electrophysiology study (EPS) is an important part of the diagnosis and workup for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Provocative medications are used to induce arrhythmias, when they are not inducible at baseline. The most common medication

Are patients admitted to emergency departments with regular supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) treated appropriately? [PDF]

, 2013
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.

Short runs of atrial arrhythmia and stroke risk: a European-wide online survey among stroke physicians and cardiologists [PDF]

, 2016
Methods: An online survey of cardiologists and stroke physicians was carried out to assess current management of patients with short runs of atrial arrhythmia within Europe. Results: Respondents included 311 clinicians from 32 countries.

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]

, 2013
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.
