On December 12, the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shaoyang University successfully performed radiofrequency ablation for a patient with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
The patient, Ms. Wu, 39 years old, had paroxysmal palpitations for 6 months, and came to the emergency department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shaoyang University on December 7 for palpitations.
ECG on admission.
At that time, Ms. Wu's heart rate reached about 250 beats, and after the emergency doctor completed an electrocardiogram examination for her, she was diagnosed with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and after being given antiarrhythmia**, Ms. Wu recovered sinus rhythm.
In order to seek further **, Ms. Wu was admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shaoyang University. After multi-faceted evaluation, Liu Zongsheng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, recommended that the patient undergo electrophysiological examination + radiofrequency ablation, and after full communication with the patient and his family, he underwent "electrophysiological examination + radiofrequency ablation" for the patient on December 12.
Intraoperative electrophysiological examination showed that the patient had a occult bypass in the left anterior wall with **RT (atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia), and Director Liu Zongsheng took a puncture atrial septal approach for radiofrequency ablation**.
Postoperative ECG.
During the operation, the operation was smooth, the ablation was successful, and the patient was discharged from the hospital the next day after the operation.
Popular science time. "Supraventricular tachycardia" is one of the most common arrhythmias, and the clinical term paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia usually refers specifically to atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia.
Supraventricular tachycardia seizures are characterized by abrupt stops, and the heart beats at a frequency of 150 to 250 minutes during the attack.
The "root" of supraventricular tachycardia lies in the fact that the heart is born with one (or several) pathways, and surgical ablation is the preferred solution, and now the most common "radiofrequency ablation" is to use high-frequency current to generate heat through local myocardial tissue to cause irreversible damage, which can completely eliminate one (or several) abnormal pathways between the atria and the atria, or between the atria and the ventricle, or between the atrium and the ventricle, and the "wires" can be eliminated by catheter ablation to achieve the purpose of supraventricular velocity. Radiofrequency ablation is like a sniper that can accurately hit the target without injuring other normal tissues, and is currently the preferred method and complete supraventricular tachycardia, and there is no need to use anti-arrhythmic drugs after successful surgery.
