ABSTRACT

Supraventricular tachycardia is one of the most common symptomatic arrhythmias at pediatric ages. It responds to different physiopathological conditions that result in similar electrocardiographic patterns. Since the arrhythmia mechanism in emergency situation is frequently unknown, the acute treatment of a child with this condition can be a real challenge. However, the therapeutic strategy mainly depends on the clinical state of the patient at the time of presentation rather than on an electrocardiographic consideration that may be influenced by errors. The present paper was aimed at raising the level of knowledge about supraventricular tachycardia in those physicians linked to pediatric care, by means of an age-focused review that deals with the most frequent ways of presentation, diagnostic aspects and treatment of supraventricular tachycardia.
