Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a cardiac arrhythmia associated with a fast and very regular heart rate, which can reach 180 to 220 beats per minute, and does not originate from the heart’s conductor, the sinus node.
This site is intended to provide information and make cardiology comprehensible for all patients; it is not a substitute for a doctor. It does, however, enable a better understanding of how the heart works, the many heart diseases that exist, the tests required to reach a diagnosis, and the drugs and other methods used to treat them.
