Mastering Supraventricular Tachycardia Diagnostics in the Electrophysiology Lab

Mastering Supraventricular Tachycardia Diagnostics in the Electrophysiology Lab is dedicated to the diagnostics of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) for the electrophysiologist. The book is organized as a flowchart, allowing readers to accurately determine the proper next steps to take when managing patients' presenting symptoms. Its diagnostic approach starts with the evaluation of the 12-lead ECG, continues with electrophysiological observations and maneuvers, and ends with three-dimensional mapping techniques and real-life cases. Chapters are concise and focus on demonstrating the background of each maneuver in a simple manner by using sketches and electrograms from the lab. Each chapter contains a brief summary of when to use a maneuver, how to perform it, what to expect as responses to the maneuver, and interpretation of possible responses. Final chapters discuss real-life cases where the aforementioned diagnostic approaches are adapted to conditions that may not be ideal (for example, non sustained tachycardias). The book provides a start to finish explication of how to comprehend, diagnose, and manage all aspects of SVT.
