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.
