Later SVT onset was associated with higher recurrence; hypothesis-generating for age-stratified surveillance and requires prospective validation.
Does the age at initial SVT episode affect the probability of SVT recurrence in pediatric patients?
Pediatric patients with initial SVT episodes during infancy have a lower chance of recurrence compared to older children, though late recurrences still occur in a substantial proportion.
Wu et al. (2008) studied this question.
