- Are you experiencing a rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, excessive sweating, dizziness, fatigue, chest pain, or even fainting? You may be suffering from PSVT (Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia), a group of heart arrhythmias that can affect anyone from children to the elderly. In this video, we will cover everything you need to know about PSVT, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
There are three main mechanisms of PSVT: Nodal Reentry Tachycardia (NRT), Atrioventricular Reentry Tachycardia (AVRT), and Atrial Tachycardia. Each mechanism is distinct and occurs due to different conditions or factors, such as abnormalities in the heart's electrical system, previous heart diseases, stress, and more.
It is important to seek medical attention when experiencing PSVT symptoms to evaluate the condition and determine the best treatment. The good news is that there is a definitive treatment for PSVT: radiofrequency ablation. This procedure is minimally invasive, with low risks and high success rates. During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into the heart through a vein and used to identify and destroy the abnormal cells causing the arrhythmia.
In this video, we will cover everything you need to know about PSVT, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Don't let PSVT affect your quality of life any longer. Watch this informative and enlightening video now!

Cand you have an episode of tachycardia and not feel it? Can you not feel your heart at 200 beats per minute even you are awake and resting in a chair?
Yes, it is possible to have an episode of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) and not feel it. This is known as asymptomatic tachycardia. The symptoms of tachycardia can vary greatly from person to person. Some people may experience symptoms like heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, lightheadedness or fainting, while others may not notice any symptoms at all.
Similarly, a heart rate of 200 beats per minute can be unnoticed by some individuals, especially if it is brief. However, most people would likely feel some discomfort or symptoms due to the rapid heart rate, as the heart is working harder than usual to pump blood. Over time, if not managed, this could lead to complications like heart failure, stroke, or sudden cardiac arrest.
This is why regular check-ups with your doctor are important, especially if you have known heart conditions or risk factors. They can perform tests like an electrocardiogram (ECG) to monitor your heart rate and rhythm, even if you're not experiencing noticeable symptoms. If you feel that something is off, always seek medical attention.
@@theheartrhythmcenter thank you very much for this elaborate answer. I wish you all the best!
Hahahahaha I know right ? I know I can hardly do anything when I get an episode of svt!
@@KiwikimNZ my question looks stupid but my Fitbit shows some 170 -200 beats per minute spikes that are really scary.....
Is it the same same as SVT? Because you often see SVT instead of PSVT.
Thank you for your question! SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) is a broad term that encompasses several types of rapid heart rhythms originating above the ventricles, including PSVT (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia).
PSVT is a specific subtype of SVT characterized by sudden, rapid heartbeats that originate from abnormal electrical pathways in the heart's upper chambers (atria). While SVT is a more general term, PSVT refers specifically to episodes of rapid heart rate that start and stop suddenly.
Both SVT and PSVT share similar symptoms and may require similar diagnostic and treatment approaches. However, distinguishing between different subtypes of SVT, such as PSVT, can help healthcare providers tailor treatment plans more effectively based on the underlying mechanism and individual patient characteristics.
In clinical practice, the terms SVT and PSVT are sometimes used interchangeably, but it's important for healthcare providers to accurately diagnose the specific type of arrhythmia to guide appropriate management. If you have concerns about your heart rhythm or have been diagnosed with SVT or PSVT, discussing your condition with a healthcare professional is advisable for personalized evaluation and management.
