Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) are common arrhythmic conditions in clinical practice. Increased knowledge and experience on SVTs and some unclear situations in clinical practice led the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) team to write a new guideline. In this review, we touch upon the important points in the new ESC 2019 SVT guidelines and present changing approaches and suggestions. By providing a general review on SVTs, we also mention the basic mechanism, epidemiology, and clinical presentation of SVTs, approaching narrow and wide QRS tachycardias, SVTs in special patient groups, and treatment of SVTs.
