What Happens to People with ‘supra’ Ventricular Tachycardia?

Nothing in arrhythmia management should be taken for granted. Errors and mistakes over the last 30 years must now force reappraisal of the arrhythmia risks and the risk-benefits of their treatment. Supraventricular tachycardias have attracted great interest from electrophysiologists and the fundamental mechanisms of many are now well established. Surprisingly, however, very little is known of the long-term implications of supraventricular tachycardias in terms of quality and quantity of life. Not even for asymptomatic WPW syndrome is there consensus in this regard. The extent of our deficiencies in knowledge need to be appreciated and more must be done to understand the natural history of these events

Key Words: Supraventricular tachycardias • morbidity • mortality • risk-benefit
