49 years male with History of hypertension with SVT treated by RF ablation
Kindly comment on prognosis and advice on prognostic tests to be done.
49 years male with History of hypertension with SVT treated by RF ablation
Brief Answer:
Good prognosis
Detailed Answer:
To begin with, a patient with SVT and avnrt has a good prognosis overall, even without ablation and being just on medications. In his case, ablation was successful, so it's cured, but there is a risk of recurrence which is less than 5 percent. So, overall, the prognosis is good with successful ablation. There is no need for routine testing afterward, just an ECG post-procedure is enough. However, if patients get palpitations and symptoms of recurrence then should obtain Ecg during the episode itself.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
