In patients with sick sinus syndrome whose symptoms are attributed to tachyarrhythmic episodes rather than bradycardia, radiofrequency ablation of the paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is an effective treatment strategy.
Ailoaei et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Sick sinus syndrome and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (n=1). Radiofrequency ablation of the slow intranodal pathway was evaluated on Resolution of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Radiofrequency ablation of the slow intranodal pathway successfully treated paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in a patient with sick sinus syndrome, avoiding the need for cardiac pacing.
