What is the drug of choice to rapidly terminate the PSVT?

Adenosine and the non-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists verapamil and diltiazem are the intravenous (IV) drugs of choice for termination of PSVT. Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside that slows AV nodal conduction and results in transient AV nodal block.

Does SVT shorten life?

In the vast majority of cases SVT is a benign condition. This means that it will not cause sudden death, will not damage the heart or cause a heart attack and will not shorten life expectancy. There are some rare exceptions that will be discussed with you if relevant.

Can SVT be triggered by bending over?

Does SVT make you tired all the time?

An episode of SVT lasting seconds to minutes caused extreme fatigue, but the fatigue was short-lived. Longer episodes of SVT were associated with more severe fatigue lasting 1–4 days. This type of fatigue was repeatedly described as “disabling”, “overwhelming”, or “formidable”.

Can SVT return after an ablation?

Sometimes the first ablation does not get rid of SVT completely. SVT might come back in 5 to 8 people out of 100. This means that the problem might not come back in 92 to 95 people out of 100. A second ablation usually gets rid of SVT.
