SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA

SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA
An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat, a condition that affects more
than 10 million people worldwide. The irregularity can be a heartbeat
that is too fast (supraventricular tachycardia) or too slow
(bradycardia), but it is caused by a change or interruption in the
heart's normal reception and distribution of electrical impulses.

    • The standard treatment for supraventricular tachycardia, as with most
    arrhythmias, is to use heat to ablate the defective pathways in the
    heart that cause an abnormal electrical impulse. Because of the
    position of the problem – supraventricular, meaning in the upper
    chambers of the heart – doctors were concerned about a complication
    that happens in about 1% of cases. The complication is that the
    heat-based therapy may cauterize more tissue than the physician may
    have intended. When this happens, the patient must have a permanent
    pacemaker implanted for life.
