Supraventricular tachycardia - what does this mean
Supraventricular tachycardia occurs when the electrical impulses that control the heart rate become rapid and chaotic, causing the heart to beat too quickly. this can cause symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
What happens during the disease - supraventricular tachycardia
Supraventricular tachycardia is caused by abnormal electrical signals in the heart that result in the heart beating too quickly. these abnormal signals can be triggered by factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, or certain medications. in some cases, an underlying heart condition or structural abnormality can also be the cause.
