Alerts clinicians to incidental SVT in infants and diagnostic delays in older children; leaves open optimal detection strategies.
Observational (n=55)
SVT is often an incidental finding in infants, whereas in older children it is symptomatic but frequently experiences a significant delay in ECG confirmation.
P et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Supraventricular tachycardia (n=55). SVT presentation and diagnosis was evaluated on Age distribution, time to diagnosis, symptoms, and SVT mechanism. SVT was an incidental finding in 74% of infants, whereas older children presented with symptoms in almost 90% of cases but faced a median delay of 138 days to electrocardiographic proof.
