SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACARDIA

SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA

• SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA is a rapid heart rhythm of the upper heart chambers . In supraventrical electricals signals travel from the upper chambers of the heart to the lower chambers of the hear
• Svt are usually 150 -250 beats per minute but can be both slower or faster commonly supraventricular results in symptoms such as
• RAPID HEART BEATS
• Dizziness
• Shortness of breath , and chest discomfort .

TREATMENTS

• Anti arrhythmia agents ,ablation,implantable cardioveter defibrillator (ICD) Biventricular pacing implantable
• permanent pacemaker, Surgical treatments , and cardiac resynchronization therapy .

SYMPTOMS

• A racing or fluttering feeling in the chest (palpations ) chest discomfort
• pressure ,tightness ,pain and anxiety !

SIGNS

• Blood clots that can cause a stroke or heart attack .
• Inability of the heart to pump enough blood (heart failure ) , and fainting spells .
• Sudden death , usually only associated with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrilantion.

CAUSES

• Tachycardia is caused by something that disrupts the normal electrical impulses that control the rhythm of your heart's pumping action. Many things can cause or contributes to the problems with the heart's electrical system..
• Damage the heart tissues from heart disease ,abnormal electrical pathways in the heart present at birth (congenital) high blood pressure , smoking ,fever ,and drinking too much alcohol .

TEST

• The test that can be done when your physicians recommended an electrophysiological test to confirm the diagnosis or to pinpoint the location of in your hearts circuitry.
• During the test a thin flexible tube (catheter )tipped with electrodes are threaded through your blood vessels to various spots in your heart .

DIAGNOSIS

• (ECG) an ECG uses small sensors (electrodes) attended to your chest and arms record electrical signals as they travel through your heart .
• Your doctor can look for patterns among these signals to determine what kind of tachycardia you have and how abnormalities in the heart may be contributing to fast heart rate .

PREVENTION

• Exercise
• Eat healthy ,maintain a healthy weight
• Keep blood pressure and cholesterol at a controlled level
• Stop smoking , drink in moderation

PREVALANCE

• The prevalence of supraventricular tachycardia is open to any of the ages after 12 years of ages
• People of any race or gender,age, financial bracket
• Supraventricular tachycardia is something that can be caused by any one thing .

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

• The lifestyle changes is slowing down things that could put you at risk for this fatal heart condition .
• Supraventricular tachycardia is something that that can be easily prevented .
