Key result
A modified Valsalva maneuver incorporating a passive leg lift successfully restored sinus rhythm in a patient with recurrent SVT refractory to standard vagal maneuvers.
Why the study?
Does a modified Valsalva manoeuvre successfully treat recurrent SVT in a patient with a previous near-fatal complication of DC cardioversion?

Does a modified Valsalva manoeuvre successfully treat recurrent SVT in a patient with a previous near-fatal complication of DC cardioversion?
A modified Valsalva manoeuvre can be a successful and safe alternative for treating SVT, particularly in patients with previous complications from second-line treatments like DC cardioversion.
Appelboam et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Recurrent supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) (n=1). Modified Valsalva manoeuvre vs. Standard Valsalva manoeuvre (historical control) was evaluated on Return of sinus rhythm. A modified Valsalva maneuver incorporating a passive leg lift successfully restored sinus rhythm in a patient with recurrent SVT refractory to standard vagal maneuvers.
