Abstract
Atrial tachycardias (AT) represent an increasingly common cause of morbidity and mortality. Driven by substantial advances in mapping and ablation technologies, the mechanistic understanding and therapeutic strategies for AT management have evolved rapidly in recent years, and catheter ablation is now regarded as the most effective strategy for maintaining sinus rhythm. Against this background, the recently published international clinical consensus statement on the management of patients with AT introduces, for the first time, a structured 10-point plan for "SMART-AT care" as a framework for the diagnosis and treatment of regular AT. This review highlights key developments and clinical implications, taking into account recent changes within the healthcare system.
