Supra-Ventricular Tachycardia

It is indicated in ventricular arrhythmia, ventricular premature depolarization and paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, supra-ventricular tachycardia and atrial arrhythmia. 

The impulse can also travel back up to the atria via the accessory pathway and create a sustained tachycardia. WPW normally occurs in the young and adults aged 20-35 years of age. Most people with this condition seek medical attention due to the frequent occurrence of Supra Ventricular tachyarrhythmias. 

It can be difficult to teU the difference between a Supra-Ventticular Tachycardia (S VT) and a Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). The wider the QRS complexes the more likely it is to be VT. Another good indicator is the presence of P waves that have no relationship with the QRS complex. VT that turns into VF is considered one of the main causes of sudden cardiac death. Treatment can include implantation of an Automated Internal.
