title: [Therapeutic electrophysiology].
abstract: Due to tremendous technical progress during the last decade, electrophysiology offers now a therapeutic option to patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmias owing to radiofrequency catheter ablation. This article focuses particularly on the different radiofrequency ablation approaches used in the most common encountered supraventricular arrhythmias.
