In The Lancet, Andrew Appelboam and colleagues present the fi ndings of a simple but clinically relevant investigation of a safe and non-invasive treatment for patients with stable supraventricular tachycardia who present to emergency departments.

A41-year-old man was referred for electrophysiological evaluation after recurrent syncope that occurred frequently during vigorous exercise.

BACKGROUND Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, often associated with an underlying malignancy. Its prevalence rate is approximately one per 100,000 in the general population, and is even rarer without evidence of a cancer. Dermatomyositis rarely involves myocardial muscle fibers, but has shown to be associated with cardiac arrhythmias. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case o...
متن کاملRapidly Recurring Supraventricular Tachycardia
or digitalis and quinidine, prevented tachyeardia in five patients and slowed it in one. Our cases suggest the following: (1) Recurrent supraventricular tachycardia in patients without the WPW syndrome may frequently be caused by a reciprocal mechanism. (2) The diagnosis of reciprocating tachycardia should be suspected when (a) the tachycardia recurs within minutes of its termination, (b) the o...
متن کاملThe mechanism of supraventricular tachycardia.
In six successive patients, none of whom had the Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, recurrent episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) were analyzed to determine the mechanism by which this arrhythmia is initiated and sustained. In each patient, simultaneous intracavitary atrial electrograms and surface electrocardiograms were recorded during the onset of numerous spontaneous episo...
