Case report: renal sympathetic denervation as a tool for the treatment of refractory inappropriate sinus tachycardia
Open accessAbstract
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia is defined as sinus tachycardia at rest (heart rate ≥100 bpm) in sitting position or/and as an average heart rate ≥90 bpm during 24-hour Holter monitoring. The most common symptoms are palpitation, dizziness, chest discomfort, orthostatic intolerance, and fatigue. Sometimes, the symptoms can be severe and debilitating, and its etiology is not well understood. Pharmacological approaches present limitation because of their relatively small effectiveness, intolerance, or side effects.In this series of cases of inappropriate sinus tachycardia, the authors report 3 cases refractory to conventional pharmacological therapy, in which the authors were not tempted for ablation of the sinus node. The authors, however, use another therapeutic approach, which was renal sympathetic denervation, to reduce sympathetic activity in the sinus node, and consequently reduce tachycardia with improvement of symptoms.Three months after renal sympathetic denervation, all patients were not using any type of medication, and reported no more symptoms. The authors know that this is the first report using the renal sympathetic denervation for the treatment of inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Studies with a larger number of patients, a longer time of follow-up, and a control group, however, should be performed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
