What is Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)?

Supraventricular tachycardia SVT is a condition where the heart beads rapidly, typically over 150 beats per minute. Although SVT may present asymptomatic, without symptoms, there may be classic signs of anxiety, heart palpitations, and diaphoresis. Treatments for SVT include, valsalva maneuvers, cardioversion, adenosine IV administration, and even surgical interventions like ablation that can help slow the heart.

In this video you will also learn how to interpret heart rhythms on EKG Strips and how to tell the difference between rhythms.

I’ve had SVT for over 14 years now . It is very uncomfortable and sometimes painful and highly annoying. it has no specific rhythm at all even throughout the years one year it’s constantly occurring the next year it comes only once or twice, I will say this though; it happened more frequently after I got a very stressful marriage and specially once I got pregnant and after giving birth it came more frequent . I’m doing a surgery next month to fix and hopefully stop the problem completely.
I hope you all get healthy and happy always.

I only got diagnosed with SVT a few months ago. It's so GODDAMN reliving to have an actual diagnosis and not have another doctor tell me 'its just a panic attack'. I had finaly gone to the ER during one of the 'attacks' and turns out my heart rate was over 200+ bpm.
The episodes would just come out of NOWHERE and it was so annoying & stressfull. I don't think stress is a cause since I am always some level of anxious/stressed lol. I don't drink/take any caffine and I only drink alcohol occasionallty, I could be chilling on the couch and it would hit, I would pick up a small box at work and it would hit, I could be in the middle of a conversation and it would hit. It's honestly more annoying than painful.

I had "SVT.". I ended up having the surgery twice. The surgery was a blessing for me. It maybe a good idea to tell your patients how dangerous it is. I had no idea an my heart raced for 36 hours before going back to normal. I felt horrible!! I got to the point with Beta Blockers I couldn't not consume any caffeine or salt.

My trigger was always kneeling down and standing back up. Thankfully I got good at doing the vagal maneuver and resetting my rate on my own. Also thankfully I havent had an episode in many years.

Is there a possibility to explain calcium channel blockers, i have tired to get my doctors to explain them to me but all i was given is that they are safe and nothing to worry about. Have svt and after a failed ablation i feel like its been worse with daily episodes . they have just been pushing calcium blockers but give me not information on them.

Thank you so much @simplenursing. You are one of my review sources. I am now a nclex passer. I find your explanation in every topic very entertaining and easy to remember.

I was born with mine and it didn't appear til I was 9years old then at 13 I had an episode go on for 11hours which was exhausting.
I had to AV nodes and my electrical pulse was on its little track circling.
I had an ablation and found out my 2 av nodes were less than 2mm apart and it worked for 6yrs but its now back sadly.
I used to get a heart rate of 268bpm regularly which was mental and had the a+e staff running around like crazy.
Just wish it hadn't of come back

I was diagnosed with atrial tachycardia. Had an ablation 12 years ago. The problem returned 2 years later. The episodes are not frequent. Often 2-3 times a year. Toprol really didn't help. For me the best vagal maneuver is an abrupt shoulder stand.

This has happened to me 3 times. I’m 47 and this only started in 2019.
It goes to 250 every time., By the time I get to the Er 25 min later... it’s down to about 115.

I ended up getting SVT from drinking coffee in the morning and drinking pre work out in the afternoon. I felt like i was dying, i’m now on BP medication to help since it makes my bp 160/120 and heart rate is usually 140. Medicine helps but i still feel sick.

I have SVT but have never been caused by stimulants. I’ve had episodes as a kid and never had coffee or any stims as a kid. Now I’m an adult and take pre workout for my gym workouts and still never get any episodes from stims. They just happen out of nowhere like they always have since I was a kid. Even on days I don’t take any pre.

We’re still trying to figure out what to do and what’s causing it.
