In Caucasian females, especially those who are somewhat underweight, a common source of supra-ventricular tachycardia is MVP: Mitral Valve Prolapse. Although MVP is usually not dangerous, and can be controlled with medications designed to regulate heart rhythm, some rare cases of sudden death by ventricular fibrillation have occurred. Anyone with MVP should be under the care of a physician knowledgeable about the condition and its dangers. The patient should have EKGs on occasion, plus an echocardiogram (ECG) now and again to monitor things. If autoimmune disease is present, one should watch for any signs of acute myocarditis or chronic cardiomyopathy.

If you have the insurance necessary to get in with a good cardiologist, it's worth it, but if not -- and many of us with chronic heart conditions don't -- at least keep up with your primary care physician. It's better than taking a risk otherwise.
