Supraventricular tachycardia in children: a report of three cases, diagnosis and current management
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2000, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The article presents three Omani children with supraventricular tachycardia and discusses the diagnosis and management. Clinical features along with ECG help diagnosis of this common paediatric arrhythmia. Acute management has been facilitated with the introduction of adenosine. However, longterm management continues to be a topic for debate.
