Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)

After completing this eLearning course, participants will be able to:

1. Identify and differentiate between various forms of Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT):

• Distinguish between typical and atypical AVNRT.
• Recognize Junctional Ectopic Tachycardia (JET) and PJRT.
• Differentiate AVNRT from AVRT and other SVTs.

2. Analyze and interpret ECGs and electrophysiological tracings:

• Assess atypical pathways and atrial tachycardias.
• Interpret post-PVI and scar-related flutters.

3. Evaluate patients with SVT for appropriate diagnostic and treatment strategies:

• Formulate differential diagnoses based on clinical, IEGM and ECG findings.
• Plan and recommend appropriate diagnostic manoeuvres.

4. Implement effective ablation techniques for SVT:

• Utilize typical and advanced ablation strategies for various SVTs.
• Apply knowledge of energy sources and techniques for challenging cases.
• Employ tips and tricks for successful ablation in complex scenarios.

5. Integrate current guidelines and best practices into clinical practice:

• Apply ESC guidelines for the management of SVTs.
• Incorporate evidence-based practices into patient care plans.
