Abstract

Heart rate information from a smartwatch can facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of SVT. Benefitting from long-term HR trends, we performed successful RF catheter ablation of coexisting AVNRT and AVRT.

Keywords: Apple Watch®; accessory pathway and slow pathway ablation; dual supraventricular tachycardias; heart rate trend; syncope.
