SVTParoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (psvt) about 8 years
ago. Her cardiologist told her not to worry about it until they
occured more frequently or of a longer
duration. She has had minor attacks in the past 8 years,( 30 sec to 5 minutes) but was able to convert
using various techniques. However in June 1999 she had a 2 hour incident that put her into the
emergencyEmergency airway puncture
Emergency contraception room and in
July a 45 minute attack. She has been on
lanoxin since August
and has 3 minor incidents that converted within 30 seconds.
None of the incidents have ever been documented by an EKG, so
her cardiologist wants her to have an EP study to confirm
his diagnosis of SVT and catheter ablation to cure the SVT.
Is the EP study the normal way to confirm undocumented SVT,
could you also use an event monitor? I have read that RFA is
know the reccomended procedure. How safe is RFA? How safe is
RFA vs the side effects of medicine for SVT.
