Resumen

CARBALLES GARCIA, Jesús Francisco et al. Recommendations for emergency treatment of supraventricular tachycardia at pediatric ages. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2013, vol.85, n.3, pp.386-397. ISSN 0034-7531.

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.

Palabras clave : arrhythmias in pediatrics; supraventricular tachycardia.
