Supraventricular tachycardias are a set of clinical entities prevalent in the general population, but it is the adult population the most frequently affected by them. They are fast and usually regular rhythms in which some structures involved over the bundle of His bifurcation for its formation or maintenance are found. The diagnosis of these entities requires a systematic clinical approach being the surface electrocardiogram the main tool for their proper classification. Treatment of supraventricular tachycardias depends on the patient´s hemodynamic status, which will define the need of electrical therapy or medical treatment. An appropriate selection of patients requiring electrophysiological study and ablation should be made.
