A member asked:
What is the treatment and prognosis of a 94 year-olds male with supraventricular tachycardia? my grandpa was diagnosed today and is awaiting evaluation for a pacemaker?

It is not a life threatening condition in America. The treatment should be individualized, especially for a 94 years old. Pacemaker is not always indicated.
