Key result
The REVERT study is a planned randomized controlled trial to evaluate if a modified Valsalva maneuver improves return to sinus rhythm in adults with SVT, with no results reported in this abstract.

Does a modified Valsalva manoeuvre improve return to sinus rhythm compared to standard Valsalva in stable adult patients presenting to the ED with SVT?
The REVERT study protocol outlines a randomized trial to determine if a modified Valsalva maneuver with leg elevation improves cardioversion rates in ED patients with SVT.
Appelboam et al. (2014) conducted an RCT in Re-entrant supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) (n=372). Modified Valsalva manoeuvre (leg elevation and supine posture) vs. Standard Valsalva manoeuvre was evaluated on Return to sinus rhythm on a 12-lead ECG. The REVERT study is a planned randomized controlled trial to evaluate if a modified Valsalva maneuver improves return to sinus rhythm in adults with SVT, with no results reported in this abstract.
