Abstract

Clinical questionValsalva maneuver is a recognized treatment for supraventricular tachycardia, but in clinical setting it has a low chance to achieve successful cardioversion. Studies suggested that the postural modification of valsalva maneuver may improve the rate of cardioversion. We further modified the maneuver and conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial to test its efficacy. Research in contextAppelboam A, Reuben A, Mann C, et al.
