[Surface ECG presentation and intracardiac electrogram characteristics of uncommon supraventricular tachycardia entities].
The vast majority of patients with supraventricular tachycardias present with specific 12-lead surface ECG characteristics allowing the diagnosis of the underlying mechanisms prior to the invasive electrophysiological study. However, an accurate diagnosis remains challenging in a subset of patients, even when using well-established stimulation maneuvers and sophisticated conventional mapping methods. Thus, the aim of the present manuscript is to describe some cases with uncommon entities of supraventricular tachycardias where the combined interpretation of 12-lead ECG presentation and invasive electrophysiological characteristics revealed the correct diagnoses.
