Supraventricular arrhythmias are common and patients are often symptomatic, requiring management with drugs and electrophysio- logical procedures. The ESC published management Guidelines for supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) in 20031; corresponding US guidelines have also been published, the most recent being in 2015.2 There is a need to provide expert recommendations for professio- nals participating in the care of patients presenting with SVT. In addi- tion, 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 manage- ment of adults with SVT based on the principles of evidence-based medicine.
