Living on a knife edge-the daily struggle of coping with symptomatic cardiac arrhythmias

Table 1 Primary diagnoses of arrhythmia substrate

	Atrial Fibrillation (AF)*	Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)**	Atrial Flutter***	Ventricular Ectopics
Female, n (%)	7 (28 %)	5 (20 %)	2 (8 %)	1 (4 %)
Male, n (%)	7 (28 %)	0	3 (12 %)	0

*Two female and one male patients awaiting treatment for paroxysmal AF had already received a previous ablation for paroxysmal AF
**SVT–atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia, accessory pathway, atrial tachycardia
***One female patient awaiting an ablation for persistent atrial flutter had previously received an ablation to treat persistent atrial fibrillation
