Diagnosis and Cure of the Wolff–Parkinson–White Syndrome or Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardias during a Single Electrophysiologic Test

Abstract

The diagnosis and cure of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia or the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome during a single electrophysiologic test are feasible and practical and have a favorable risk-benefit ratio. This abbreviated therapeutic approach may eliminate the need for serial electropharmacologic testing, long-term drug therapy, antitachycardia pacemakers, and surgical ablation.
