Intravenous antiarrhythmic drugs will continue to have an important role in the acute management of SVT. Long-term antiarrhythmic drug therapy is often effective in preventing or reducing frequency and severity of arrhythmic episodes. The cost, adverse effects, and inconvenience of long-term drug therapy will result in the increasing use of curative ablation for most individuals with problematic SVT.
