Abstract

Approaches to the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, atrioventricular (AV) reentrant tachycardia, and AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, continue to evolve. Within the past two decades, many new and effective treatments have become available. These include several new antiarrhythmic agents, ablative therapies, pacing and surgical modalities, and cardioversion/defibrillation techniques. This paper provides an algorithm for the treatment of these supraventricular arrhythmias which includes therapy for the acute episode as well as the prevention of subsequent episodes of the tachyarrhythmia.
