  • Title: [Sinus node modification by catheter using radiofrequency current in a patient with inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Evaluation of early and late results].
    Author: Cruz Filho FE, Maia IG, Fagundes ML, Boghossian S, Ribeiro JC.
    Journal: Arq Bras Cardiol; 1998 Mar; 70(3):173-6. PubMed ID: 9674178.
    Abstract:
    This article reports the early and late results of a patient in whom radiofrequency current was used to ablate an incessant inappropriate sinus tachycardia. During successful radiofrequency application there was a sudden change of rate and subsequent emergence of a stable rhythm with the same sinus node P wave characteristics. During follow-up, normal cardiac cycles were still present after six months of the procedure, although the patient still complained of palpitations, suggesting no correlation with the heart rate.
