Disease/Condition Glossary

Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia is a problem associated with the rate of rhythm at which the heart beats. Generally, in this condition, the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly. It can lead to severe heart damage. A cardiac arrhythmia occurs when there are abnormal electrical signals in the heart. When the heart beats too fast, it is known as tachycardia; if it is too slow, it is called bradycardia. Treatment of arrhythmia includes drugs, medical procedures, implantable devices and sometimes surgery.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT): Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a medical condition where your heart suddenly beats much faster than normal. SVT occurs when the electrical system that controls your heart rhythm is malfunctioning. This leads your heart to beat much faster suddenly. It can then slow down abruptly. A normal resting heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). But with SVT, your heart rate suddenly goes above 100 bpm. This can happen when you're resting or doing exercise.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia: Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a form of arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm. It happens when a short circuit rhythm develops in the heart's upper chamber. This causes a regular but rapid heartbeat that begins and ends suddenly.
