  • Title: Handstands: a treatment for supraventricular tachycardia?
    Author: Hare M, Ramlakhan S.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 2015 Jan; 100(1):54-5. PubMed ID: 25316626.
    Abstract:
    Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common symptomatic tachyarrhythmia in childhood. Treatment involves vagal manoeuvres, pharmacological agents or electrical cardioversion. We report a child with recurrent SVT secondary to Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome who is consistently able to revert her SVT by doing a handstand. This case highlights a simple non-invasive technique for the treatment of SVT.
