Treatment of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias.
The supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVT) encompass a variety of rhythm disturbances in which the rate exceeds 100 beats per minute (in adults). Such disturbances originate from sinus, atrial, or atrio-ventricular junctional pacemakers located above the bundle of histidine (His). The treatment depends on the type of arrhythmia, its mechanism and the clinical situation or consequences.
