Treatment of Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia in a Haemodynamically Unstable Patient

When atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) presents with haemodynamic instability, the clinical situation demands prompt, protocol-driven management. This page outlines the recognised approach for this urgent scenario.

Clinical scenario

Haemodynamically unstable patient with atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia. The presence of haemodynamic compromise narrows the range of appropriate interventions and places this case in a distinct, high-priority management category.

Approach (partial)

Current evidence-based guidance directs clinicians toward an electrical intervention as the primary modality in this setting. The complete protocol — including the specific procedure, indications, and step-by-step algorithm — is available below.
