[Potentials and limits of transesophageal electrical stimulation of the heart in diagnosing supraventricular tachyarrhythmias].
The results of intracardiac electrophysiological examination were compared to those of transesophageal electrostimulation of the left atrium in combination with the recording of its electrical activity in 48 patients with paroxysms of reciprocal supraventricular tachycardia and in 28 patients with paroxysms of ciliary arrhythmia. In order to diagnose a form of tachyarrhythmia using the latter method some criteria were revealed. Transesophageal electrostimulation of the left atrium was shown to be quite an informative method to be widely used in clinical practice for the diagnosis of paroxysmal supraventricular tachyarrhythmia.
