Abstract

The main treatment modalities for supraventricular tachycardia are medications and catheter ablation. Ablation is appropriate therapy for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in patients who have a preference for ablation over medications, symptoms that are refractory to medications, severe symptoms, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, or incessant tachycardia. Ablation also is reasonable as first-line therapy in patients with recurrent typical atrial flutter.
