 | | Supraventricular tachycardia is rarely associated with intra- or extracardiac anomalies, in contrast to those fetuses with atrial flutter or fibrillation. | | | Associated anomalies: While supraventricular tachycardia is rarely associated with congenital cardiac anomalies (2%), atrial flutter and fibrillation have been associated with an increased incidence of pulmonary outflow obstruction, Ebstein malformation, and atrioventricular septal defect. | | | Given the observations of the cited investigators, perhaps a reasonable management approach to the fetus with supraventricular tachycardia is to determine whether hydrops fetalis is in evidence. |

| | Welcome to Supraventricular Tachycardia |
| | Definitive therapy for most of the supraventricular tachycardias can be achieved by electrophysiological studies and catheter ablation. | | | Catheter ablation of the junctional re-entrant tachycardias, unifocal atrial tachycardia and atrial flutter is relatively low risk and highly effective and may be offered to any patient with problematic recurrent tachycardia as a definitive therapy. | | | Most atrial tachycardias are "acquired" and are secondary to either myocardial or other diseases that result in atrial stretch, atrial fibrosis etc. These tachycardias may be either re-entrant or related to enhanced automaticity as discussed previously. |

| | Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia Information |
| | Approximately one-third of patients with supraventricular tachycardia have aberrant pathways to the ventricles. | | | Because reentry is the most common mechanism for paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, effective therapy requires that conduction be interrupted at some point in the reentry circuit. | | | Your feedback and queries are greatly appreciated, keep them coming here.. |

| | When clinical tachycardia cannot be induced with therapy, transesophageal techniques can be used to predict freedom from many supraventricular tachycardias for most therapies in children. | | | CONCLUSIONS: Tachycardia- induced cardiomyopathy is amenable to "curative" therapy with RFCA. | | | Sustained fetal tachycardia is a potentially life- threatening condition in which pharmacologic therapy is reported to be effective. |

| | Thus, a patient with tachycardia who is hypotensive, having chest pain, and mentally confused is probably in need of immediate synchronized cardioversion regardless of what the rhythm happens to be. | | | Differentiation of ventricular tachycardia from supraventricular tachycardia with aberration: Value of the clinical history. | | | On the other hand, if the patient with tachycardia is asymptomatic (i.e., normotensive and without chest pain, shortness of breath, or mental confusion) then there is probably time for more careful evaluation and a trial of medical treatment, even if the rhythm turns out to be VT. |

| | In the clinical setting, it is important to determine whether a wide-complex tachycardia is an SVT or a ventricular tachycardia, since they are treated differently. | | | While some treatment modalities can be applied to all SVTs with impunity, there are specific therapies available that can cure many of the arrhythmias that require intimate knowledge of how the arrhythmia is propagated. | | | This is in contrast to ventricular tachycardias, which are tachycardias that are not dependent on the atria or AV node. |

| | If these medications are not effective in stopping supraventricular tachycardia from recurring, your doctor may recommend that you take an antiarrhythmic medication. | | | Many people with supraventricular tachycardia have a procedure called catheter ablation, which blocks abnormal electric impulses and can eliminate supraventricular tachycardia and the need to take medications. | | | Medication treatment typically includes beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, other antiarrhythmic medications, or digoxin. |

| | Vagal stimulation may have no effect or may terminate tachycardia abruptly. | | | Impulses originate in a supraventricular pacemaker (above the bifurcation of the the common bundle) at a rate 150-250. | | | P waves cannot be positively identified either because they merge with preceding T waves or because they are buried in QRS complexes so the the differentiation between atrial and junctional tachycardia is impossible. |
