OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of flecainide and digoxin combination in foetal supraventricular tachycardia. SETTING This study was carried out in a tertiary referral centre. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 29 patients diagnosed with supraventricular foetal tachycardia between 2001 and 2009. Mode of presentation, foetal cardiac function, maternal anti-arrhythmic serum le...

• Vol 8 • May 2006 Supraventricular Tachycardia Figure 1 shows the ECG surface leads during an episode of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycard dia in a 69 year old man without obvious heart disease. Figure 2 shows continuous ECG tracing recorded upon termination of PSVT with an intrad venous bolus of 6 mg adenosine. How do the ECG findings in Figure 2 help in the diagnosis of the mechanism of ...

The cardiac tachyarrhythmias can be divided into 2 major groups. A. Supraventricular B. Ventricular The supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, commonly seen in clinical practice are: 1. Supraventricular tachycardias. 2. Atrial flutter 3. Atrial fibrillation Supraventricular arrhythmias can be life threatening a. When associated with underlying LV dysfunction heart failure. b. In association with WP...

Objective: Supraventricular tachycardia, one of the most common conditions requiring emergency cardiac intervention in newborns, is also symptomatic tachyarrhythmia newborns. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment approach important. 
 Method: Demographic findings, clinical approaches newborns hospitalized with supraventricular tachycardia between January 2011 November 2020 Neonatal Inte...

A 28-year-old man underwent an electrophysiologic procedure becau.se of frequent episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The baseline sinus cycle length. alrial-His (AH) interval, and His-ventricular {HV) intei-vals were 800, 90, and 40 msec, respectively. A narrow-QRS tachycardia having a cycle length of 250 to 280 msec was reproducibly induced by ventricular programmed stitnulati...

An 80-year-old man underwent an electrophysiologic procedure because of recurrent episodes of supraventricular tachycardia. Episodes of nonsustained narrow QRS complex tachycardia occurred spontaneously after catheter placement. Examples of the onset and termination of an episode of tachycardia are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. What is the mechanism of the tachycardia? What is the lev...

We report on a 33-year-old woman who underwent an electrophysiologic study because of a documented supraventricular tachycardia. The induced tachycardia presented with cycle length variations and an apparent ventriculo atrial (VA) dissociation on the surface ECG. Careful analysis of the activation sequence revealed the correct diagnosis of an atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia using ...

Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation of supraventricular tachycardia was first introduced in 1987. The procedure is now well-accepted as primary treatment for supraventricular tachycardia in paediatric patients. In this report we describe our experience of radiofrequency ablation of accessory pathway mediated supraventricular tachycardia in the past 10 years. From 1994 to 2005, 121 procedures ...

We studied the recent alcohol consumption and other possible precipitating factors in 99 consecutive patients (53 men and 46 women) all under 65 years of age with sustained re-entry and automatic supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and compared them with those of two groups of controls. One control group was derived from the Emergency Room patients and matched for age and sex; the other group (44...
