He had no audible murmur and lung base incidence of to In full blood count he had only entrant tachycardia in otherwise a normal healthy child. Chest the rate is usually more than beats per minute and affecting X-ray showed mild cardiomegaly and a 12 lead ECG showed both upper and lower chamber of the heart.
The patient was attached life threatening condition. Treatment is only considered if with cardiac monitor and 2. For many infants SVT is a rectally and carotid sinus massage was tried simultaneously. So treatment with medication could As rhythm was not reverted to normal gargling and gagging otherwise be stopped after six to 12 months.
But as all failed Inj Adenosine 0. It also department through emergency on 28,02,10 with the showed the rate reduced to bpm. On auscultation both complaints of frequent cry, lethargy, and unwilling to take heart sound became audible with clear lung base. According to his mothers statement her baby was alright three months back. Then he developed Mother noticed no more excessive heart beat and the respiratory tract infection which was managed by local baby became cheerful after some time.
Later he was given antibiotics for two weeks and his symptoms relieved. Then after one month he again developed restlessness, occasional excessive cry with increased frequency and duration.
His mother noticed feeling of excessive heart beat while he was in her womb. She noticed his heart beat was very rapid and at time he became lethargic and refused to take food. She consulted with a pediatrician about the problem and the consultant diagnosed it as a case of suraventricular tachycardia after an ECG and referred the patient to the CMCH. The birth of the baby was uneventful and he was duly immunized and he came from a low socioeconomic status family.
At CMCH the patient was examined thoroughly. For ventricular rates greater than bpm, consider synchronized cardioversion at J to J. Paroxysmal SVT is usually managed by an interprofessional team of healthcare workers dedicated to cardiac arrhythmias.
Since these arrhythmias cannot be prevented, the focus is on treatment. Besides the cardiologist, the role of the nurse and pharmacist is indispensable. The patient should be educated about this arrhythmia and the potential risk of sudden death if left untreated. For patients with SVT managed with medications, the pharmacist should assist the team by educating the patient on potential adverse effects, drug interactions and the need for close follow-up.
The patient should also be educated on the option of radiofrequency ablation, which has a much higher success rate compared to medications. For the most part, patients with paroxysmal SVT have a good outcome with treatment.
However, a small number of patients with WPW do have a tiny risk of sudden death. In patients with SVT arising due to a structural defect in the heart, the prognosis depends on the severity of the defect, but in healthy people with no structural defects, the prognosis is excellent. Pregnant women who develop SVT do have a slightly higher risk of death if there is an unrepaired heart defect.

National Center for Biotechnology Information , U. StatPearls [Internet]. Search term. Etiology The differential diagnosis includes sinus tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, junctional tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or multi atrial tachycardia.
Epidemiology The incidence of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia is 35 per 10, person-years or 2. Pathophysiology The electrical conduction through the heart starts at the sinoatrial SA , which then travels to the surrounding atrial tissue to the atrioventricular AV node.
History and Physical Patients typically present with anxiety, palpitations, chest discomfort, lightheadedness, syncope, or dyspnea. Differential Diagnosis Atrial flutter. Complications Complications are either related to the medications or radiofrequency ablation. Since the latter is an invasive procedure the following complications may occur: Hematoma.

Supraventricular tachycardia SVT is as an abnormally fast or erratic heartbeat that affects the heart's upper chambers.
An abnormal heartbeat is called an arrhythmia. SVT is also called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. A normal heart rate is 60 to beats per minute. A heart rate of more than beats per minute is called a tachycardia tak-ih-KAHR-dee-uh.
During an episode of SVT , your heart beats about to times per minute, but it can occasionally beat faster or slower. Most people with supraventricular tachycardia live healthy lives without restrictions or treatment. For others, lifestyle changes, medication and heart procedures may be needed to control or eliminate the rapid heartbeats and related symptoms.
The main symptom of supraventricular tachycardia SVT is a very fast heartbeat beats a minute or more that may last for a few minutes to a few days. The fast heartbeat may come and go suddenly, with stretches of normal heart rates in between. Some people with SVT have no signs or symptoms at all. In infants and very young children, signs and symptoms may be difficult to identify. They include sweating, poor feeding, pale skin and a rapid pulse.
If your infant or young child has any of these symptoms, ask your child's doctor about SVT screening. Supraventricular tachycardia is generally not life-threatening unless you have heart damage or other heart problems. However, in extreme cases, an episode of SVT may cause unconsciousness or cardiac arrest. Call your doctor if you have an episode of a very fast heartbeat for the first time, and if the abnormal heartbeat lasts longer than a few seconds. Some signs and symptoms may be related to a serious health condition.
Call or your local emergency number if you have an episode of SVT that lasts for more than a few minutes, or if you have an episode with any of the following symptoms:. SVT occurs when the electrical signals that coordinate your heartbeats don't work properly. For some people, a supraventricular tachycardia episode is related to an obvious trigger, such as exercise, stress or lack of sleep. Some people may not have a noticeable trigger.
In a typical heart rhythm, a tiny cluster of cells at the sinus node sends out an electrical signal impulse. The signal then travels through the atria to the atrioventricular AV node and then passes into the ventricles, causing them to contract and pump out blood.
