Beyond Rhythm Control: Health-Related Quality of Life and Attention–Behavioral Outcomes After Catheter Ablation in Children with Supraventricular Tachycardia
Catheter ablation for pediatric SVT was associated with marked improvements in HRQoL, supporting its benefits beyond rhythm control. However, a meaningful proportion of patients exhibited psychiatric or attention-behavioral symptoms at follow-up. These findings highlight the importance of integrating psychosocial assessment into the clinical follow-up of children undergoing arrhythmia treatment.
