Efficacy and safety of modified Valsalva maneuver for treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the efficacy and safety of the modified versus standard Valsalva maneuver in the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP electronic databases were searched to identify studies comparing the modified and standard Valsalva maneuvers in the treatment of PSVT from database inception to 1 May 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias of all included studies.

Results

Nineteen randomized controlled trials involving 2527 patients with PSVT were included. The overall rate of cardioversion was higher in the modified than standard Valsalva group (risk ratio [RR] = 1.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] =
