Arrhythmias: Supra-ventricular tachycardia
Arrhythmias are irregular heart rhythms caused by abnormal electrical impulses sent through the heart. When the heart beats too fast, it means that a person is in tachycardia. When the heart beats too slow, it means that a person is in bradycardia. A kind of tachycardia is supraventricular tachycardia or SVT. SVTs originate above the ventricles and cause a rapid burst of heartbeats that end suddenly. In a normal heart, SVT can just cause mild discomfort, but in a damaged heart, it can be the sign of a worsening condition needed CPR and defibrillation.
