Cardiac arrhythmias occur much more commonly in children than most parents believe.
Arrhythmia severity ranges from benign through lifestyle changing to life-threatening. The best way to treat SVT in patients older than infancy is to cure it. Radiofrequency catheter ablation gives us this option, even in infants when necessary. The team at Cook Children's has performed more than 500 catheter ablation procedures in children. Experience is one of the most important factors in ensuring that ablation procedures will be successful.
