Supraventricular Tachycardia

Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) is a cardiac arrhythmia characterized by an abnormally fast heartbeat originating above the heart's ventricles. This condition is often caused by abnormal electrical pathways in the heart, leading to rapid and irregular heartbeats. SVT episodes can be brief or prolonged, causing symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath. While generally not life-threatening, SVT can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Treatment options range from lifestyle modifications and medications to more invasive procedures like catheter ablation, aiming to restore a normal heart rhythm. Proper diagnosis and management of SVT are crucial to alleviate symptoms and prevent potential complications associated with this common heart rhythm disorder.
