Background: Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) was proved to be the commonest type of Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT); being responsible for about sixty percent of cases. The subtypes AVRT in addition to atrial tachycardia is responsible for nearly thirty percent and ten percent of SVT cases, respectively. The aim of registry is to determine patient characteristics, practice patterns, and management strategies of Supra Ventricular Tachycardia in the region of Delta of Egypt using the registry design.
Methods: This was a descriptive study included at least 300 Supra Ventricular Tachycardia Patients who admitted to cardiac centers and hospitals in the region of middle Delta of Egypt. All patients with regular SVT were included in the study.
Results: Regarding to SVT pattern, our study showed that 58% AVNRT, 29.3% AVRT and 12.7% AT. Regarding to ECHO data, our study showed that 193 (64.3%) patients were normal, 49 (16.3%) had CAD, 8 (2.7%) patients had CHD, 39 (13%) patients had LVH and 11 (3.7%) patients had VHD. 270 (90%) patients were managed by pharmacological management while 30 (10%) patients were managed by ablation plus medications.
Conclusion: Close inspection of the ECG in sinus rhythm regarding the initiation, termination and duration of tachycardia, the diagnosis is usually feasible, thus help guiding the management and urgency of treatments entailed, in addition to allowing initial patient counseling for long-term treatment recommendations.
