    AbstractThe REVERT trial was a randomized multicenter trial that investigated the efficacy of using a modified Valsalva maneuver for the reversion of stable supraventricular tachycardia back to a sinus rhythm. Although no improvement in discharge to home from the emergency department (ED) or ED length of stay was observed, the REVERT trial demonstrated that the modified Valsalva maneuver was superior to the standard Valsalva maneuver. The modified Valsalva maneuver should be considered first-line treatment for patients who present with a stable supraventricular tachycardia. A case presentation illustrates the methodology for utilizing the modified Valsalva maneuver to treat supraventricular tachycardia in a hemodynamically stable patient who presents to the ED.
