Scope of the Guideline
• Supersedes the “2003 ACC/AHA/ESC Guideline for the
Management of Patients with Supraventricular Arrhythmias”
• Addresses regular as well as irregular SVT (such as atrial flutter
with irregular ventricular response and multifocal atrial
tachycardia) but does not include atrial fibrillation
• Aimed at the adult population (>18 years of age) and gives no
specific recommendations for pediatric patients
• Emphasizes shared decision making with the patient whenever
possible

General Principles
Principles of Medical Therapy
Acute Treatment
Principles of Medical Therapy – Acute Treatment
COR LOE Recommendations
Vagal maneuvers are recommended for acute
I B-R
treatment in patients with regular SVT.
Adenosine is recommended for acute treatment in
I B-R
patients with regular SVT.
Synchronized cardioversion is recommended for
acute treatment in patients with hemodynamically
I B-NR
unstable SVT when vagal maneuvers or adenosine
are ineffective or not feasible.
Synchronized cardioversion is recommended for
acute treatment in patients with hemodynamically
I B-NR
stable SVT when pharmacological therapy is
ineffective or contraindicated.

(cont’d)
COR LOE Recommendations
Intravenous diltiazem or verapamil can be
IIa B-R effective for acute treatment in patients with
hemodynamically stable SVT.
Intravenous beta blockers are reasonable for
IIa C-LD acute treatment in patients with
hemodynamically stable SVT.
