There are four main types of SVT: atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), and Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. [2] The symptoms of SVT include palpitations, feeling of faintness, sweating, shortness of breath, and/or chest pain. [1]
AV-nodal reentrant tachycardia; Other names: Atrioventricular-nodal reentrant tachycardia: An example of an ECG tracing typical of uncommon AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. Highlighted in yellow is the P wave that falls after the QRS complex. Specialty: Cardiology: Symptoms: Palpitations, chest tightness, neck pulsation: Diagnostic method
Abdominal pain. Shortness of breath. Fatigue. Pressure or heaviness in your chest. Sweating. Nausea or vomiting. Dizziness. Pain caused by a heart attack usually persists for more than 20 minutes ...
Symptomatic episodes may involve heart palpitations, fainting, lightheadedness, loss of consciousness, shortness of breath, or chest pain. [2] Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14]
[5] [9] For TIC due to atrial flutter, rate control is often difficult to achieve, and RF catheter ablation has a relatively high success rate with a low risk of complications. [5] In patients with TIC due to other types of SVT, RF catheter ablation is recommended as a first-line treatment. [5]
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]
Treatment depends on the type of cardiomyopathy and condition of disease, but may include medication (conservative treatment) or iatrogenic/implanted pacemakers for slow heart rates, defibrillators for those prone to fatal heart rhythms, ventricular assist devices (VADs) for severe heart failure, or catheter ablation for recurring dysrhythmias ...
Hemodynamic - Pulsation in the neck and abdomen, choking sensation, jaw pain, right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain, chest colds, and headache. Heart rate related - Palpitations associated with arrhythmias; In particular, the examiner should look for the following in the physical examination, as these are frequent findings at the time of admission ...
