  • Title: A review of instrumentation and therapeutic techniques in the diagnosis and management of supraventricular tachycardia.
    Author: Hart R, Peters R, Rubinstein M, Desai J, O'Young J, Thomas A, Scheinman MM.
    Journal: Med Instrum; 1978; 12(5):268-73. PubMed ID: 703653.
    Abstract:
    Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia can usually be managed without any specific therapy or with an appropriate drug program. Some patients, however, are resistant to conventional therapy. In the past decade, the electrophysiologic pathogenic mechanisms of this rhythm disorder have been elucidated, and this, coupled with progress in intracardiac instrumentation, has enabled the physician to induce specific rhythm disorders and to map them to determine an ideal, specially tailored method of treatment. As a result, the use of radiofrequency pacing and surgery are becoming increasingly important in the treatment of patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, especially those with arrhythmias related to Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
