Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) Treatments

Summary: This is a small, pilot study with a primary goal of assessing patient perceptions of two medication treatments for supraventricular tachycardia in adult patients treated in the Emergency Department.

Summary: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a dysrhythmia characterized rapid heart rate, typically with rapid onset. SVT accounts for over 50,000 emergency department visits per year. Of patients with regular, narrow-complex SVT, the mainstay of therapy includes adenosine and diltiazem. Adenosine is recommend by American and European guidelines as first-line therapy, however adenosine carries unique si...

Summary: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of left bundle branch area pacing combined with atrioventricular node ablation and pharmacologic treatment optimized according to guidelines in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation refractory or intolerant to drug therapy or catheter ablation.
