With the advent of successful surgical repairs and modern diagnostic techniques, an increasing number of patients with congenital heart disease survive to adulthood. Despite these improvements, the surgical corrective atrial incisions performed during childhood lead to subsequent myocardial scarring that have the inherent risk of harbouring substrates for macro-reentrant atrial tachycardias …

Supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) are common, with an estimated prevalence of 2.25/1,000 persons and an incidence of 35/100,000 person-years.1 Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), in particular, represents the most common regular arrhythmia in the human, and its proportion increases with age.2 However, the European Society of Cardiology has not published management guidelines…

Cardiac arrhythmias during pregnancy pose a serious threat to the health of both mother and foetus. Women with established tachyarrhythmias, congenital heart defects or channelopathies have the highest risk for development of arrhythmias.1,2 They also develop de novo or occur in women without apparent heart diseases. Tachyarrhythmias, including both supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias,…

Although the exact circuit of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) still eludes us, AVNRT is the most common regular arrhythmia in humans, and therefore the most commonly encountered during ablation attempts for regular tachycardias.1–4 Catheter ablation for AVNRT is the current treatment of choice in symptomatic patients. It reduces arrhythmia-related hospitalisations and costs,…
