Key result
Electrophysiology study and radiofrequency ablation were demonstrated as diagnostic and treatment methods for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in a series of 3 cases.
Why the study?
To illustrate the diagnostic approach through EPS and treatment with RFA in PSVT, and discuss patient-oriented management concepts.
Does radiofrequency ablation reduce the reoccurrence of PSVT episodes in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?

Does radiofrequency ablation reduce the reoccurrence of PSVT episodes in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?
This case series illustrates the established role of electrophysiology study for diagnosis and radiofrequency ablation for the definitive treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) describes the narrow zone of tachycardia. PSVT can diagnose with electrocardiography, but most specifically, it can be diagnosed by electrophysiology study (EPS) and further treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Management of PSVT with RFA significantly reduces the reoccurrence of PSVT episodes in future. In the following case, presentation series of three cases will be used for creating panorama of existing knowledge of PSVT, along with diagnostic approach through EPS, and finally, the use of RFA as a treatment method will be demonstrated. Furthermore, development of patient-oriented concepts of PSVT management will be discussed.

Juneja et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) (n=3). Electrophysiology study (EPS) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was evaluated. Electrophysiology study and radiofrequency ablation were demonstrated as diagnostic and treatment methods for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in a series of 3 cases.
