Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a broad term that encompasses various types of rapid heart rhythms originating above the ventricles, including atrial tachycardia. Atrial tachycardia specifically refers to a rapid heartbeat that originates in the atria. While all atrial tachycardias are considered forms of SVT, not all SVTs are atrial tachycardias, as SVT can also include other arrhythmias such as atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT).

What is a Supraventricular event?

A supraventricular tachycardia is tachycardia (heart rate > 100) that originates above the AV node, in the atria. There are several different forms of supraventricular tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, multifocal atrial tachycardia, and a nebulous condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Many people also consider junctional tachycardia a supraventricular tachycardia.
