New pharmacological therapies are needed, especially for SVT in patients for whom ablation is not an
option or has been unsuccessful. Newer drugs that selectively target atrial channels currently under investigation
for patients with AF should be investigated for management of AT. Both mapping and ablation techniques need
to be further investigated to maximize the likelihood of successful ablation with minimal risk. In the outpatient
setting, the added value of new personal monitoring and implantable devices needs to be assessed, and studies of
the impact of shared decision making with patients on outcomes are needed for personal monitoring innovations.
Finally, we encourage investigation of quality-of-life improvement strategies, in addition to cost-effectiveness
studies, for the management of SVT
