  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. 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 ...

  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. Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_reentrant...

    An episode of SVT may present with palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or losing consciousness (fainting). The electrocardiogram (ECG) would appear as a narrow-complex SVT. Between episodes of tachycardia the affected person is likely to be asymptomatic; however, the ECG would demonstrate the classic delta wave in Wolff–Parkinson ...

  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. 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]

  8. Permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_junctional...

    It is a supraventricular tachycardia, and a cause of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT). PJRT can cause chronic tachycardia that, untreated, leads to cardiomyopathy. The cause is an accessory pathway in the heart which conducts from the ventricles back to the atria.

  9. Junctional tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_tachycardia

    Junctional tachycardia is a form of supraventricular tachycardia characterized by involvement of the AV node. [1] It can be contrasted to atrial tachycardia.It is a tachycardia associated with the generation of impulses in a focus in the region of the atrioventricular node due to an A-V disassociation. [2]
