Supraventricular Tachycardia treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Supraventricular tachycardia is a heart rhythm disturbance in which the heart beats rapidly and, generally, regularly, from an impulse that originates above the ventricles.

Which specialist evaluates it? The cardiologist is the one who studies this type of arrhythmia; in children and adolescents the pediatric cardiologist gets involved.

Frequent symptoms:

• A sensation of palpitations or rapid heartbeats
• Dizziness or a feeling of fainting
• Chest discomfort or shortness of breath

When to seek care? Episodes can appear and disappear suddenly. If palpitations are frequent, intense, or accompanied by fainting, the sensible thing is to have a specialist review the case.
