Hi Kate,
When I was admitted to hospital last year with the rapid heartbeat I was
diagnosed as having AVRNT which they told me was a type of SVT.
My normal heart rate is usually between 68-72bpm resting.
As I say I have not had any further episodes of SVT's since but for last 4
months have been getting ectopic beats which the consultant said is all part and
parcel of AVRNT.I have read up a little on the internet and this type is
supposedly the most common form and is more common in women than men,with 75% of
cases occurring in women, is this because it is hormonal? I wonder.
