What is SVT

SVT stands for "supraventricular tachycardia".

supra- = above -ventricular = ventricles tachy- = fast -cardia = heart

SVT is an abnormally fast heartbeat originating in the upper chambers of the heart (the atria, above the ventricles).

The symptoms that appear are typical of other types of tachycardia: palpitations, weakness, chest pain, dizziness, etc.

There are multiple types of SVT. Episodes may last minutes or days, be constant or occur in bouts, and may not require any treatment. Those who do require treatment may undergo heart procedures, lifestyle changes, or take medication.

Properties of Cardiac Muscles

-- excitation of the cardiac muscles is triggered by electrical impulse

-- cardiac muscle contraction is triggered by elevation of intracellular calcium

-- excitation is transmitted from one myocyte to adjacent myocyte via intercalcated discs

-- myocytes depend heavily on oxygen and blood supply

-- not fatiguable

-- long refractory period
