 | | Arrhythmias can be treated using drugs, intervention or implantable devices. | | | The vagus reflex may help as a first-aid measure. | | | This is caused by any of the factors mentioned above, rather than a malfunction of the heart itself. |

| | Tachycardia |
| | Tachycardia caused by heart or lung disease often is accompanied by chest pain or shortness of breath or lightheadedness. | | | Many tachycardias related to heart or lung problems can be controlled with medication, surgery or other procedures. | | | Pneumonia or other lung problems can be treated with medications for those conditions. |

| | Welcome to Supraventricular Tachycardia |
| | Definitive therapy for most of the supraventricular tachycardias can be achieved by electrophysiological studies and catheter ablation. | | | Catheter ablation of the junctional re-entrant tachycardias, unifocal atrial tachycardia and atrial flutter is relatively low risk and highly effective and may be offered to any patient with problematic recurrent tachycardia as a definitive therapy. | | | Most atrial tachycardias are "acquired" and are secondary to either myocardial or other diseases that result in atrial stretch, atrial fibrosis etc. These tachycardias may be either re-entrant or related to enhanced automaticity as discussed previously. |

| | Supraventricular tachycardia is rarely associated with intra- or extracardiac anomalies, in contrast to those fetuses with atrial flutter or fibrillation. | | | Associated anomalies: While supraventricular tachycardia is rarely associated with congenital cardiac anomalies (2%), atrial flutter and fibrillation have been associated with an increased incidence of pulmonary outflow obstruction, Ebstein malformation, and atrioventricular septal defect. | | | She was referred to the antenatal assessment unit at our institution secondary to an audible fetal tachycardia noted at her routine prenatal visit with her practitioner. |

| | Carotid sinus massage and adenosine have been used for atrial tachycardia. | | | For atrial tachycardia due to automaticity, carotid sinus massage and adenosine produce AV conduction block and generally do not affect the automatic focus; therefore, the atrial tachycardia continues. | | | The symptoms can be difficult to distinguish from those of other forms of supraventricular tachycardia, although persons with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia may be more likely to have dyspnea or chest discomfort. |

| | Ventricular ectopic beats may or may not cause symptoms or be of prognostic significance. | | | The most common situation (>95%) is a slow-fast tachycardia (using the A-V node for the antegrade conduction and the abnormal pathway for retrograde conduction), in which P(prime) waves occur nearly simultaneous with, and are obscured by, the QRS complex. | | | Sample Problem Answer 2: In supraventricular tachycardia, the QRS complexs are often normal, because ventricularactivation proceeds over the normal pathways. |
