Only because I know someone has the answer... Where did the rate of 150 come to be the determinant between "SVT" and non? Why don't all monitors allow the user to print at a faster speed and have trained interpreters be able to interpret the rhythm?
This is a woman come in ewith plapitation and normal BP. Canon A wave was seen. No P wave can be seen.Rate is less than 150. R wave in Avr lead. No retrograde...
Just to clarify, SVT is an umbrella term for all non-ventricular tachycardias. So the right question is, "What kind of SVT is this?" Tom Sent from my iPhone...

That is a horrible EMS myth, Jon. I've reviewed cases where Adenocard was given to sinus tachycardia, simply because it was 160 bpm and "couldn't have been...
Tom: My point is clarified here and in the other posts.? SVT is a largely non-specific term (vs VT) for rhythms with a rate at or above 150, when, really,...
a few things, using heart rate alone is not a good way to make an ecg dx, think about a "nornal" stress test, a 20y old would be expected to hit 200bpm (sinus)...
What kind of SVT is it, Haval Lutfalla? Sinus tachycardia? AF w/RVR? AVNRT? AVRT? Junctional tach? Calling it SVT only points toward a group of abnormal heart...
Chill out all we are on the same side :-). It is important to label things correctly because when you for example say VT everyone knows what you mean, can draw...
 Sorry for my quick typing before.  I know SVT is a large pool of all kind include the junctional tachycardia.  No P wave: not sinus tachycardiaof course...
I will come out of "lurker mode" and give my two cents on this one. I would go with junctional tach for a couple of reasons. First, the rate is such that if P...
Robert just to chime in the heart rate thing. 220 - age * 0.85 is the normal "expected" heart rate for someone during exercise. I've seen it be much lower (if...

"Once you accept that sinus tachycardia is a form of SVT, this view is no longer tenable." This of course may be semantics and the opinions of various people,...
Yes, it does usually cause a distortion of some kind in the preceding T-wave, but if they're all identical (1:1 relationship to the QRS/T) then it's hard to...
Tom- It is hard to get people to understand that, it is far easier to accept the easy term than to read the fine print. ===================================== ...
