Catheter ablation was not the first-line treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) for most patients referred to a tertiary center, a study shows, with investigators suggesting the procedure is ...

Ablation of supraventricular tachycardia in elderly persons presents a challenging problem to electrophysiologists. Friable cardiac structures, prone to catheter perforation, comorbid cardiovascular ...

Ablation strategies for almost all types of ventricular tachycardias have now been established. The optimal ablation strategy for ventricular tachycardia is determined by the site of origin and the ...

Patients with structural heart disease are at risk for life-threatening ventricular tachycardias (VTs). Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can terminate VT, but often at the cost of ...

A recent study published in Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology (PACE) determined that the use of catheter ablation to treat supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is not detrimental to patients. This ...

A novel technique called stereotactic arrhythmia radiation therapy (STAR) is emerging as a potential alternative to catheter ablation for patients with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia that ...

CHICAGO -- For patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ischemic cardiomyopathy, going right to catheter ablation improved outcomes compared with trying antiarrhythmic drugs first, the VANISH2 ...

Forty-three cardiology and electrophysiology codes — spanning catheter ablations, coronary revascularization procedures, electrophysiologic evaluations, heart failure management techniques and ...
