This study suggests that atrial fibrillation will develop in approximately 12% of patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia during a 1-year follow-up period. The occurrence of atrial fibrillation is not related to the mechanism or heart rate of the paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
Sinoatrial node reentrant tachycardia may be effectively and safely treated with radiofrequency current ablation at the site of earliest atrial activation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
