The ability to reproducibly induce a supraventricular arrhythmia at the time of ablation is important for several reasons:
1.
Ascertain the correct diagnosis and define the mechanism of the arrhythmia.
2.
Map the arrhythmia to determine the safest region to ablate without causing collateral damage.
3.
Determine success of ablation by rendering the arrhythmia non-inducible after establishing baseline inducibility.
