A member asked:

Is there homapathy for wpw and svt?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

No, no, and no!: The best treatment for symptomatic WPW is radiofrequency catheter ablation. Even allopathic drugs are not usually an adequate treatment. Wpw is potentially serious with heart rates of 220-300 or more and curable. Don't mess with it. Svt can be handled with medication in many cases or ablation when meds fail or aren't tolerated.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
