My first CASE experience …
1.A 35 yr old female came to medicine OP with complaints of pounding sensation in the heart,dizziness.lightheadedness..the episode lasted for few minutes relieved spontaneously without any efforts..ending up in the patient passing urine after the absence of palpitations…on examination her heart heart was normal…there are no neck abnormalities…no other features..her BP is normal ..her thyroid status is normal ..What is the diagnosis was asked ?

CASE scenario
A 28 yr old woman has rapid palpitations accompanied by chest pain and dizziness while playing her cello.she is brought to an ED.she has a faint regular pulse of 180 bpm.her blood pressure is 100/70 mm Hg.cardiovascular signs reveals no signs of heart failure.an ECG show a regular tachycardia with a narrow QRS complex and no apparent Pwaves ..how should her case be managed?
![Page 5: Approach to a case of narrow complex tachycardia](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5549d5a9b4c905a97a8b4f1b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Clinically
Patient complains of recurrent palpitations,chest fullness,light headedness,presyncope,syncope.
Ppt factors may be present – exercise,caffeine,cigarette smoking,alcohol.
h/o heart disease,pulmonary disease,post AFablation. CAUTION :H/O DIGOXIN USE On examination– neck pounding –cannon waves “frog’s sign “
– practically pathognomic of AVNRT. HR is a non specific feature in differentiating SVTs.

STEP wise
Look for QRS duration. QRS complex regular/irregular. Then look for presence of p waves. P waves morphology P waves and QRS relationship 1:1 AV block present. QRS alternation Termination initiation of tachycardia. Effect of BBB on tachycardia cycle length.
![Page 7: Approach to a case of narrow complex tachycardia](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5549d5a9b4c905a97a8b4f1b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Decision tree schema by BAR and colleagues STEP 1 –FOR ANY FAILURE OF AV CONDUCTION –AV block present ectopic atrial tachycardia.
STEP 2 – QRS alternation –each QRS is different from subsequent one by 5 mm –AVRT ,other tachycardia also
STEP 4 – p wave morphology in frontal plane –negative in lead I LEFT SIDE BYPASS TRACT.
STEP 5 –P WAVE in horizontal plane .left side,right side ..

AVNRT
Presence of a narrow complex tachycardia with regular R-R intervals and no visible p waves.
P waves are retrograde and are inverted in leads II,III,AVF.
P waves are buried in the QRS complexes –simultaneous activation of atria and ventricles – most common presentation of AVNRT –66%.
If not synchronous –pseudo s wave in inferior leads ,pseudo r’ wave in lead V1---30% cases .
P wave may be farther away from QRS complex distorting the ST segment ---AVNRT ,mostly AVRT.

AVRT
Typical – RP interval < PR interval RP interval > 80 milli sec Atypical –RP interval > PR interval Concealed bypass tract – only retrograde conduction Manifest bypass tract– both anterograde and
retrograde. Electrical alternans –the amplitude of QRS complexes
varies by 5 mm alternatively. Rate related BBB occuring and the rate of tachycardia
is decreasing –then the bypass tract is on the same side of the block.

Focal Atrial Tachycardia
P wave morphology changes. PR interval > 0.12 sec . Second,third degree AV block can occur. Tachycardia terminates with a qrs complex .. Right atrial origin– p wave inverted in V1. If biphasic in V1—initially positive then negative. Upright in lead AVL Opposite if of left atrial origin Superior origin –upright p waves in inferior leads Inferior origin –p waves are inverted in inferior leads.

Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia
At least three consequtive p waves with different morphologies with a rate > 100 bpm to be present.
Isoelectric baseline between p waves. Also called as choatic atrial tachycardia Mostly seen in COPD ,electrolyte abn,theophylline Rate usually does not exceed 130-140 bpm.
![Page 43: Approach to a case of narrow complex tachycardia](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5549d5a9b4c905a97a8b4f1b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

SANRT
Microreentrant tachycardia Usually precipitated and terminated by
premature atrial complexes. Atrial rate is usually 120-150 bpm. IART - Large or small reentrant circuit. AV block can occur.
![Page 45: Approach to a case of narrow complex tachycardia](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5549d5a9b4c905a97a8b4f1b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Junctional tachycardias Non paroxysmal – accelerated junctional rhythm Rate < 100 bpm Usually junctional node 40-60 bpm Paroxysmal or focal junctional tachycardia is rare –automaticity. 110-250bpm. P waves may be before or after QRS complex Infrequent and nonsustained episodes –no treatment Acute termination of SVT and establish the mechanism of SVT
in case of acute setting. Long term goal is abolishing the arryhthmia substrate. Precipitating factors – electrolyte
imbalance,hypoxia,ischemia,hyperthyroidism to be sought out.
![Page 46: Approach to a case of narrow complex tachycardia](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5549d5a9b4c905a97a8b4f1b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Acute Treatment
Of SVT
![Page 47: Approach to a case of narrow complex tachycardia](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5549d5a9b4c905a97a8b4f1b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
A 12 lead ECG during tachycardia and NSR.
No delay in therapy if the mechanism of SVT is not known.
Perform CAROTID SINUS MASSAGE,or give 6mg bolus adenosine.
In case of severe hemodynamic compromise a synchronised cardioversion to be given.
![Page 48: Approach to a case of narrow complex tachycardia](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5549d5a9b4c905a97a8b4f1b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Carotid sinus massage
Check for carotid bruit before massage. At the level of cricoid cartilage,at the angle of
mandible the carotid sinus is situated. Gentle pressure is applied over the carotid sinus
for 5 -10 seconds. ECG recording to be present. In case of no response – try on the other side. Simultaneous pressure not to be applied both sides. Alternative manuevres are valsalva,gag reflex,ice
water pouring over the face.
![Page 49: Approach to a case of narrow complex tachycardia](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5549d5a9b4c905a97a8b4f1b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
If SVT is suspected to be AVnode dependent – drug of choice is adenosine and CCBs verapamil and diltiazem.
Useful for sustained cases of AV node independent tachycardias.
But digoxin,BBs,CCBs better control of ventricular response in atrial tachycardias
Class I agents to be combined with AV nodal blocking drugs – to eliminate 1:1 conduction of atrial to ventricles.

Pill in the pocket approach In whom recurrences are infrequent. But sustained.well tolerated hemodynamically. Patients who have had only a single episode of SVT.. 100-200mg of flecainide at the onset of SVT is a reasonable
approach…until he reaches the hospital. 40-160 mg verapamil –without preexcitation, Betablockers Propafenone 150-450 mg. 80% cases interrupted with a combination of CCBand BB in 2
hrs…

Other drugs
Calcium channel blockers,beta blockers ,digoxin are the next drugs to be used if not responded to adenosine
Usually 60 % cases respond to a dose of 6 mg and 95 % cases at 12 mg.
Type 1 a AAD, 1c,iii,AMIODARONE in refractory cases.

Catheter guided Radiofrequency Ablation
Several multipolar catheters are introduced High right atrium ,bundle of
his ,RVapex,Coronary sinus. Radiofrequency is delivered at the site of earlier
activation Success is defined by elimination of the
tachycardia or loss of pre excitation. 90-98% success in AV node dependent 60-80% in case of AV node independent. Cryoablation more useful…

Pacemakers
Temporary role in case of digoxin toxicity. Permanent in case of long term control To terminate the tachycardia Revert into sinus rhythm Prevent the occurrence. Overdrive suppression RF induced atrial pacing are used
No role of surgery presently in PSVT rx .

Some important points
Rxof PSVT given for patient comfort except in IHD,MS
When the QRS complex is wide and VT is mistaken as SVT with ABERRANT conduction IV verapamil – not recommended decreases BP.
If DC cardioversion to be avoided because of possible adverse response to digitalis adm …pacing Rt atrium and ventricle via temp pacing.
In WPW syndrome avoid VERAPAMIL,LIDOCAINE . Avoid digoxin. In SANRT ,IART –class IA,IC ,BB SANRT –digoxin.

Our case
1. carotid sinus pressure 2.IV adenosine. 3.long term treatment depends upon episodes. 4.any underlying abnormality to be checked for. 5.definitive etiology only knon by EP study. 6.95% cases respond to RF ablation. 7.much less complications with cryoablation. 8.in case if SVT recurrs after ablation –opt for
pacemaker..
