[Method of evaluating antiarrhythmic therapy in patients with paroxysms of supraventricular tachycardia]

Potentialities of the non-invasive method of trans-esophagus electrostimulation of the heart were studied with regard to the selection and assessment of the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic therapy in 16 patients with paroxysms of supraventricular reciprocal tachycardia. The antiarrhythmic therapy selected by this method proved effective in 13 patients following a prolonged course of treatment. The method was highly informative in predicting the efficacy of the systemic course treatment of patients with supraventricular tachycardia paroxysms.
