Twenty patients, seven of them with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia; 8 with paroxysmal auricular flutter; 3 with paroxysmal auricular fibrillation and 2 with paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, with stage II of A-V block, were treated intravenously with isoptin, with an average dose of 0.1 mg/kg body mass. Ten, out of them, restored their sinus rhythm, 7 considerably slowed down the heart rate and 3 failed to respond. Adverse effects were observed only in one patient--transitory hypotension.

Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has gained attention in cardiac electrophysiology, but data on its application to paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia are limited. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of PFA and its combination with radiofrequency ablation for treating paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter, single-arm study was conducted across 8 centers in China.

Inherited cardiac channelopathies are major causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young people. Genetic testing is focused on the identification of single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). However, genetically elusive cases can carry copy number variants (CNVs), which need specific detection tools.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if high levels of high-sensitivity troponin-T (hs-TnT) in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) but no known cardiovascular disease increase the risk of death.
- Researchers reviewed data from 1,203 patients hospitalized from 2013 to 2020, finding that 65.8% had elevated hs-TnT levels.
- Results showed significantly higher short-term mortality (within 30 days) for patients with elevated hs-TnT, but long-term mortality (31-365 days) differences were not significant and may need further study.
