Abstract
The supraventricular tachycardias can be divided into those arrhythmias originating within the atria per se and those in which the atrioventricular node or accessory atrioventricular connections play a role. The latter arrhythmias are discussed in Chapter 13. Four important tachyarrhythmias, namely, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, and multifocal atrial tachycardia, are considered in this chapter, as are premature atrial complexes and ectopic atrial rhythm.
