RESULTS
One-hundred and fifty-three patients underwent EPS for clinically suspected or documented SVT. Eighty-six patients were excluded due to: protocol non-adherence in 32 (20.9%), atrial tachycardia or orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia in 30 (19.6%) and non-inducibility in 24 (15.7%). A total of 67 patients with a mean age of 53.3 ± 17.6 years, 57% women with an average body mass index (BMI) of 26.7 ± 6.3 kg/m2 were included in the study. Paroxysmal SVT was present for 2.9 ± 4.7 years requiring 2.3 ± 2.2 emergency department presentations prior to catheter ablation.
