Objective To explore the diagnostic value of esophageal electrophysiological examination in the types of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia(PSVT). Methods A total of 86 patients with suspected PSVT undergoing esophageal electrophysiological examination in the hospital were enrolled between March 2019 and March2021. The accuracy
sensitivity
specificity
negative predictive value
positive predictive value and Kappa value of esophageal electrophysiological examination in the diagnosis of PSVT were evaluated by Kappa consistency test.Results Kappa value of esophageal electrophysiological examination in the diagnosis of PSVT was 0.793. Compared with the golden standard of clinical diagnosis

negative predictive value and positive predictive value of esophageal electrophysiological examination were 94.19%
95.83%
85.71%
80.00% and97.18%
respectively. Kappa value of esophageal electrophysiological examination in the diagnosis of PSVT types was0.816. Its diagnostic coincidence rate
missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate were 84.88%(73/86)
6.98%(6/86) and 8.15%(7/86)
respectively. The consistency between esophageal electrophysiological examination and clinical diagnosis was good in the diagnosis of PSVT. Conclusions The consistency between esophageal electrophysiological examination and clinical diagnosis is high in the diagnosis of PSVT types
