Summary
Understanding supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) mechanisms is key for effective treatment. Most SVT types can be identified using bedside maneuvers and ECGs, guiding therapy rationally.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
Background:
- Intracardiac electrophysiologic studies have elucidated the mechanisms of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) over the past decade.
- Differentiating various SVT forms enables a more rational therapeutic approach.
