clinical practice Supraventricular Tachycardia (original) (raw)

This paper discusses the mechanisms and electrocardiographic characteristics of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), highlighting different types such as atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, orthodromic and antidromic AV reentrant tachycardia, and focal atrial tachycardia. It emphasizes the clinical importance of distinguishing SVT from other tachyarrhythmias through examination of ECG patterns and patient symptoms, and discusses the use of vagal maneuvers and adenosine in the management of SVT.
