The 2019 ESC Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Supraventricular Tachycardia

Dr Demos Katritsis and his writing group have produced an important new guidelines document on the management of all types of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs). The one exception is atrial fibrillation (AF), which is covered in the 2016 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) AF guidelines. This document is a complete rewrite of the 2003 SVT guidelines, which were published as a joint document with the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology. In this brief article, I will highlight the most important features of the new 2019 ESC SVT Guidelines.
