ACC CardiaCast: The Power of the Care Team
This episode provides a team-based overview of diagnosing and managing acute paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) across care settings. It emphasizes how patients interact with providers from primary care to electrophysiology and the importance of coordinated roles. The discussion highlights shared decision-making and targeted education to help patients recognize symptoms, understand recurrence risk, and respond to episodes. Key topics include when to seek care, initial self-management steps, and long-term options such as medication, ablation, or observation. It also reviews practical action plans and the role of newer therapies like intranasal etripamil in individualized care.
