Re : 1ere SI à terminale SVT oui, ne t'en fais pas, et en plus, en SI, je veux pas dire, mais en général, niveau mentalité c'est pas trés évolué (je dis pas ça pour tous les SI, biensur, par exemple, mon beau frère était en SI).. Patients with infrequent SVT episodes may only need pharmacotherapy on an intermittent basis, or what has been described as the “pill-in-the-pocket” approach.36 Those experiencing SVT not more than a few times per year, but with episodes lasting one hour or longer, may be treated using this approach.

Linden J, DeStefano F, Clinical series of radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways have been published with excellent overall results.38 Experienced electrophysiology laboratories routinely achieve success rates of 95 percent in the ablation of accessory pathways, with recurrence rates of less than 5 percent.39 With improved knowledge of atrioventricular nodal anatomy and the advent of cryotherapy ablation, the current rate of symptomatic heart block is 0.5 to 1 percent.40, Because of its curative results and low percentages of severe adverse effects, and because the field is evolving so rapidly, there are few studies directly comparing catheter ablation with drug therapy in patients with SVT (with the exception of atrial fibrillation).

Table 1 describes ECG findings for common types of SVT.3–6. The term “SVT” is commonly used synonymously with atrioventricular-nodal-reentry tachycardia (AVNRT). Tischenko A, JAMA. 2009;26(6):459. This SVT is caused by accessory pathways (or bypass tracts) that serve as aberrant conduits for impulses that pass from the sinoatrial node and travel in an antegrade or retrograde fashion through such tracts, establishing a reentry circuit.11 AVRT, occasionally comorbid with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, is a diagnosis not to be missed because this rhythm may spontaneously develop into atrial fibrillation.12 Key electrocardiography (ECG) findings, such as a delta wave, are not always apparent because of the accessory pathway being concealed; therefore, special diagnostic testing may be needed.13, The third most common type of SVT is AT (approximately 10 percent); it originates from a single atrial focus.6 This SVT, if focal, usually has a definitive localized origin, such as adjacent to the crista terminalis in the right atrium or the ostia of the pulmonary veins in the left atrium.14,15 Another form, multifocal AT, often occurs in patients with heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.16.

Although the use of this technique has been accepted in hospitalized settings, it has not been studied in the prehospital setting to determine its effectiveness.20 Vagal maneuvers are an effective first-line treatment option for SVT in younger patients who are hemodynamically stable; they can also be diagnostic for nodal-dependent SVT.2,21 Carotid massage can be used as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool; however, it should not be used in persons who may have atherosclerotic plaque that could be dislodged as a result of such a technique (i.e., history of carotid artery disease or carotid bruit).21.

Marill KA, Kistler PM, Ohara T, Pharmacologic management typically includes intravenous adenosine (Adenocard) or verapamil, which are safe and effective treatment choices for terminating SVT, but verapamil is more effective for suppression of this rhythm over time.2,14 Figure 6 is an algorithm for the short-term management of SVT.19 Patients who are hemodynamically unstable need to be resuscitated with electrocardioversion to avoid further deterioration of cardiovascular status. Cheng CH, The primary treatment goal for any SVT is its cessation, especially in patients who are at risk hemodynamically and cannot tolerate prolonged tachyarrhythmias.
