Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): When Your Heart Races Ahead
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) represents a group of heart rhythm disorders in which your heart beats faster than normal. These rapid heart rhythms start in the heart's upper chambers, the atria, or the atrioventricular node.
SVT might make your heart race suddenly and then stop just as quickly, often causing discomfort and concern. However, understanding and managing SVT can help you lead a healthy life.
Here are the key points to know:
While SVT can be alarming, many people with this condition lead perfectly healthy lives. Still, medical evaluation medications are recommended if you have recurring episodes of SVT or symptoms that cause concern. Treatment for SVT such as radiofrequency ablation is often curative, thus eliminating needs for long term medications.
