Asthma-like attacks terminated by slow pathway ablation

Asthma-like attacks terminated by slow pathway ablation

Asthma is a chronic airway disease in which the pathological mechanisms are reversible airway obstruction, bronchial hyper reactivity, and constriction of the lower airways. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common arrhythmia which originates above the bundle of His and causing heart rates exc...
