Changes in electrophysiologic properties of the conductive system of the heart in children with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia after 2–8 years following radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow pathway

Abstract: Radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway is an effective method of treatment in children with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. The aim of our study was to evaluate anterograde conduction properties in children before and after radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway and to determine the efficacy and safety of this method. Material and methods. Noninvasive transesophageal electrophysiological examination was performed in 30 patients at the follow-up period (mean duration, 3.24 years) after r… Show more

“…Long-term follow-up is necessary to detect the recurrence and new types of arrhythmias, which are thought to occur because of a change in the electrophysiologic characteristics of the conductive system of the heart by RFA energy (2). There are some methods such as clinical history, electrocardiography, and Holter monitoring to determine the results of successful RFA.…”

“…Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the first-line of therapy with a high success rate and a low recurrence and complication rate in some children with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) since the early 1990s ( 1 ). Long-term follow-up is necessary to detect the recurrence and new types of arrhythmias, which are thought to occur because of a change in the electrophysiologic characteristics of the conductive system of the heart by RFA energy ( 2 ). There are some methods such as clinical history, electrocardiography, and Holter monitoring to determine the results of successful RFA.…”
