  2. Supraventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraventricular_tachycardia

    A normal resting heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. A resting heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute is defined as a tachycardia. During an episode of SVT, the heart beats about 150 to 220 times per minute. [9] Specific treatment depends on the type of SVT [5] and can include medications, medical procedures, or surgery. [5]

  3. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxysmal...

    Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a type of supraventricular tachycardia, named for its intermittent episodes of abrupt onset and termination. [3] [6] Often people have no symptoms. [1] Otherwise symptoms may include palpitations, feeling lightheaded, sweating, shortness of breath, and chest pain. [2] The cause is not known. [3]

  4. Verapamil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verapamil

    Verapamil is used for controlling ventricular rate in supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and migraine headache prevention. [17]Verapamil is also used for the treatment of angina (chronic stable, vasospastic or Prinzmetal variant), unstable angina (crescendo, preinfarction), and for the prevention of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).

  5. Flecainide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flecainide

    Flecainide is a medication used to prevent and treat abnormally fast heart rates. [1] This includes ventricular and supraventricular tachycardias. [1] Its use is only recommended in those with dangerous arrhythmias or when significant symptoms cannot be managed with other treatments. [1]

  6. AV nodal reentrant tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV_nodal_reentrant_tachycardia

    AV nodal reentrant tachycardia is the most common regular supraventricular tachycardia. It is more common in women than men (approximately 75% of cases occur in females). The main symptom is palpitations. Treatment may be with specific physical maneuvers, medications, or, rarely, synchronized cardioversion.

  7. Vagal maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagal_maneuver

    Vagal maneuvers have a reported success rate of conversion to sinus rhythm for SVT around 20-40%, possibly being higher for AVNRT (an SVT associated with a bypass tract). [4] Whereas the modified Valsalva maneuver is most effective in adults, [5] cold water immersion may be preferred as a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment for ...

  8. Automatic tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_tachycardia

    An automatic tachycardia is a cardiac arrhythmia which involves an area of the heart generating an abnormally fast rhythm, sometimes also called enhanced automaticity.These tachycardias, or fast heart rhythms, differ from reentrant tachycardias (AVRT and AVNRT) in which there is an abnormal electrical pathway which gives rise to the pathology.

  9. Junctional ectopic tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_Ectopic_Tachycardia

    Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is a rare syndrome of the heart that manifests in patients recovering from heart surgery. [1] It is characterized by cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular beating of the heart, caused by abnormal conduction from or through the atrioventricular node (AV node).
