Management of patients with supraventricular tachycardia - 2020 ESC

2019 ESC Guidelines for the management of patients with supraventricular tachycardia : The Task Force for the management of patients with supraventricular tachycardia of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC): Developed in collaboration with the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC)

Supraventricular arrhythmias are common and patients are often symptomatic, requiring management with drugs and electrophysiological procedures.

There is a need to provide expert recommendations for professionals participating in the care of patients presenting with SVT. In addition, several associated conditions where SVTs may coexist need to be explained in more detail. To address this topic, a Task Force was convened by the ESC, with the remit to comprehensively review the published evidence and to publish Guidelines on the management of patients with SVT, with up-to-date consensus recommendations for clinical practice. This document summarizes current developments in the field, with a focus on advances since the last ESC Guidelines were published, and provides general recommendations for the management of adults with SVT based on the principles of evidence-based medicine.
