What is supraventricular tachycardia?
A condition that affects the upper chambers of the heart, causing an abnormally fast heartbeat. It can come and go suddenly, lasting from a few minutes to a few days. It happens when there's an issue with the heart's usual signaling system and is typically not life-threatening. However, in rare cases, it can lead to cardiac arrest or loss of consciousness. It can affect anyone. Risk factors include heart or coronary artery defects or disease, emotional or physical stress/fatigue, and existing thyroid problems.
