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 ...

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 ...

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

Amman, Oct. 29 (Petra) -- A specialized medical team at Prince Hamzah Hospital has achieved a significant milestone by successfully performing Jordan's first cardiac ablation procedures to treat ...

ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--St. Jude Medical, Inc. (NYSE:STJ), a global medical device company, today announced the first patient enrollment in the STAR-VT (Substrate Targeted Ablation using the ...

A percentage of patients with scar-related ventricular tachycardia who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation experienced early mortality, which may have been predicted by procedural and clinical ...

Researchers from the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor were able to detect radiofrequency ablation lesions in patients treated for ventricular arrhythmias — long after the initial ...

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 ...

Ablation of ventricular tachycardia is a proven treatment for arrhythmias in patients with a history of heart attacks. Identifying the area of the increased scar tissue that is responsible for the ...

Adding functional imaging to structural imaging of patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) has the potential to improve current VT ablation strategies, according to new research. Adding functional ...

Heart arrhythmias are usually harmless, but some can be life threatening. Treatments help correct your heart rate to prevent serious health issues. When the electrical impulses that affect your ...
