Comprehensive electrophysiologic evaluation, insertion and induction of arrhythmia, catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)

AI EXPLANATION: Catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormally fast or irregular heart rhythms originating in the heart's upper chambers. During this procedure, thin, flexible wires called catheters are guided through blood vessels to the heart. Specialized electrical testing maps the heart's rhythm and triggers the arrhythmia to identify the precise area causing the problem. The physician then applies targeted heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in that heart tissue, blocking the faulty electrical signals and helping restore a normal heartbeat.
