MANAGEMENT APPROACHES FOR PATIENTS WITH SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIAS AND HIGH RISK OF SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH: A REVIEW OF CURRENT GUIDELINES
https://doi.org/10.17802/2306-1278-2018-7-3-117-128
Abstract
Patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW), neonates, and patients with major structural cardiac pathology who suffer from supraventricular tachycardia are at higher risk of sudden cardiac death. The review article accumulates evidence-based knowledge provided in the recent guidelines and expert consensus on the prevention of sudden cardiac death in adults and children with different SVT types. The review provides current data on the risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with supraventricular tachycardia, possible pathogenetic patterns of sudden cardiac death in this patient population, current guidelines on catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia to prevent sudden cardiac death in adults and children.
