Management of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia with Electrophysiology Study and Radiofrequency Ablation

Abstract

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) describes the narrow zone of tachycardia. PSVT can diagnose with electrocardiography, but most specifically, it can be diagnosed by electrophysiology study (EPS) and further treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Management of PSVT with RFA significantly reduces the reoccurrence of PSVT episodes in future. In the following case, presentation series of three cases will be used for creating panorama of existing knowledge of PSVT, along with diagnostic approach through EPS, and finally, the use of RFA as a treatment method will be demonstrated. Furthermore, development of patient-oriented concepts of PSVT management will be discussed.
