Why the study?
Does electrical stimulation of the carotid-sinus nerves terminate refractory, recurrent supraventricular tachycardia?
Does electrical stimulation of the carotid-sinus nerves terminate refractory, recurrent supraventricular tachycardia?
Electrical stimulation of the carotid-sinus nerves may provide an effective method for terminating refractory, recurrent supraventricular tachycardia by reflexly increasing vagal activity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support acute SVT termination via vagal reflex; hypothesis-generating case report requiring controlled trials before any clinical consideration.
Braunwald et al. (1969) studied this question.
