Learning Objectives
A patient who presented with refractory supraventricular tachycardia and
tachycardia-induced acute heart failure:
- To acknowledge that tachycardia-induced acute heart failure could
progress fast, an emergency electrophysiology study with ablation
prevailed as the treatment method for refractory tachycardia.
- To recognize coronary spasm during ablation as a rare but catastrophic
complication.
- To understand that step-up treatment, including PCPS and catheter
ablation, could increase the success rate of managing acute heart
failure with tachycardia arrhythmias as a cause
.
