Atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia

On completion of this topic, the acute cardiac care specialist will be able to:

• recognise and correctly interpret the clinical and ECG aspects of the SVT
• make the differential diagnosis between different types of SVT
• identify ECG clues for differential diagnosis between supraventricular tachycardias and ventricular arrhythmias
• provide the appropriate therapy

These courses are based on the textbook chapter: Atrial fibrillation and supraventricular arrhythmias of the ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care, 2nd Edition (2015) by Demosthenes Karistis and John Camm.

What’s inside?
