Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is an umbrella term for fast heart rhythms arising from the upper part of the heart. [2] This is in contrast to the other group of fast heart rhythms – ventricular tachycardia , which start within the lower chambers of the heart . [ 2 ]
Palpitations that appear later in life are more likely linked to structural heart problems. [1] A rapid, regular heartbeat is usually due to paroxysmal SVT or ventricular tachycardia. [ 1 ] A rapid, irregular rhythm might be due to atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or tachycardia with a variable block. [ 1 ]
During normal sinus rhythm, these signals pass through only one pathway, known as the fast pathway. The fast pathway conducts signals quickly but has a longer rest period before it can send another signal. However, in people with PSVT caused by atrioventricular nodal reentry, both the fast and the slow pathways are activated. [9]
AV-nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a type of abnormal fast heart rhythm. It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), meaning that it originates from a location within the heart above the bundle of His. AV nodal reentrant tachycardia is the most common regular supraventricular tachycardia.
Researchers have found that animals began to exhibit abnormal changes in blood flow after just one day of an artificially generated fast heart rate (designed to simulate a tachyarrythmia). [1] As their TIC progresses, these animals will have worsening heart function (e.g.: reduced cardiac output and reduced ejection fraction) for 3–5 weeks. [1]
Semaglutide medications first hit the market to treat diabetes, but more recently, they’ve been used for weight loss. Semaglutide meds are part of a class of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1 ...

Cardioversion is a medical procedure by which an abnormally fast heart rate (tachycardia) or other cardiac arrhythmia is converted to a normal rhythm using electricity or drugs. Synchronized electrical cardioversion uses a therapeutic dose of electric current to the heart at a specific moment in the cardiac cycle , restoring the activity of the ...
