However there is a scarcity of data regarding the long term outcome particularly with respect to quality of life QoL . Methods and Results In this retrospective single-center study 454 patients who underwent ablation of SVT between 2002 and 2007 received a detailed questionnaire addressing matters of QoL. The questionnaire was a modified version of the SF-36 Health Survey questionnaire and the Symptom Checklist - Frequency and Severity Scale. After a mean follow up of years 309 of the contacted 454 patients 269 female mean age 58 completed the questionnaire. Despite of 27 of relapses in the study group considered the procedure a long-term success. The remainder of patients experienced no change in or worsening of symptoms. There were no significant differences between the various types of SVT p 1 . QoL in patients with Atrio-Ventricular Nodal Reentry Tachycardia AVNRT
