[Recurrent supraventricular tachycardia. The efficacy of a radio frequency system inserted into the coronary sinus]
Abstract:
The case is reported of a man of 66 with attacks of recurrent supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) which failed to respond to the standard medical treatment and which, because of their frequency, led to mental disturbances. The electrophysiological features of SVT are discussed, and the possibilities of recording potentials from the SA node. A definitive pacemaker was placed in the coronary sinus, and linked to a simple stimulator working at radio frequency (and activated by the patient himself); this led to an almost immediate reduction in the attacks of SVT.
