What causes supraventricular tachycardia?

 So super ventricular tachycardia comprises of atrial flutter AV nodal, reentrant, tachycardia and AV reentry, tachycardia, also known as the wolff-parkinson-white syndrome, and if we talk about the latter two, which is the AV NRT and the WPW syndrome, the cause of this typically is an additional pathway that You’Re likely to have been born with so this is an abnormal structure in your heart that is unlikely to go away on its own, and the only treatment really to get rid of this pathway is through a catheter ablation approach.

Where we’re going through your groin and look for this abnormal connection or structure in your heart and get rid of it typically by delivering some heat onto the structure, to destroy it? Well, it depends now, if you have symptoms very often, and the symptoms that you get from the very high heart rates that you get with an SVT, make you feel like passing out or indeed make you lose consciousness and, for example, whilst you’re driving.

Then, of course, it can be dangerous, because the consequence of losing consciousness are dangerous in itself, though, a super ventricular tachycardia typically does not lead to death. With one exception, there is a subset of WPW or wolff-parkinson-white syndrome.

Patients who have an accessory pathway that is able to conduct a very very rapidly and in this rare situation, if a patient goes into the other common rhythm abnormality called atrial fibrillation, then there is a condition called pre excited, atrial fibrillation that may ensue, and that can Lead very very rapid heart rates that will compromise cardiac output and will may lead to loss of consciousness and sudden death.

So, regardless of what your form of SVT is, it is worthwhile seeing a cardiologist who can help make a positive diagnosis and give you the relevant treatment steps necessary to help cure this condition.Find here the superventricular tachycardia treatment
