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.
Dobutamine stress echocardiography helps to indirectly determine if there are significant obstructions in the coronary arteries.
The test is performed using a medication, dobutamine, to stimulate the heart instead of using a treadmill, and a cardiac ultrasound to observe how the heart’s contraction responds to the simulated stress.
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.
