ABSTRACT
Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) present as recurrent palpitations. Unlike ventricular tachycardias, these arrhythmias usually carry a benign prognosis. It is important to exclude structural heart disease in these patients. Though vagal manoeuvres and drug therapy are useful for acute termination of SVTs, recurrences are common. Catheter ablation is safe, highly effective and has a curative potential. It obviates the need for long-term medical therapy as it eliminates the arrhythmia in these patients.
