Overview

Supraventricular tachycardias may start and stop abruptly. Patients may develop syncope. The prognosis of an SVT is generally good in absence of underlying heart disease.

Natural History

The rhythm often ceases abruptly and spontaneously, particularly the most common form AVNRT. An episode generally last seconds to hours.

Complications

Prognosis

SVTs are rarely life threatening and in the absence of underlying structural heart disease, the prognosis is good. Radiofrequency ablation is curative in 95% of cases of AVNRT.
