The investigators have conducted a prospective, double-blind, randomized study to assess the
comparative safety and efficacy of two different ablation strategies, RFA versus RFA plus
botulinum toxin injection, in patients with supra-ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Results were
assessed with the use of an implanted monitoring device (IMD).
