What Is The Treatment For Supraventricular Tachycardia?
My daughter is 14 y. old was diagnosed as s.v.t 6 months back and she was started on inderal 30 mg daily with good compliance she got very brief attack last week aborted by carotid massage iam pediatrian but i want to know for how long she will be on medications?and she will be a candidate for radiofreqncy ablation with this brief attack(only seconds)
hello, There are two modalities of treatment, one is medical which she is on and other is radio frequency ablation. This is entirely a individualized decision and she is a candidate for rfa is you are willing for it. It is successful in 90-95 % patients and recurs in remaining one. If you decide a medical management then she will be on life long medicine and dose of inderal needs to hike up as she had episode.
