What is Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia?
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is an abnormally fast heart beat, that begins and ends suddenly. While the normal resting heart rate is approximately 60-100 beats per minute, a PVST attack may cause a heart rate as fast as 160-280 beats per minute. People with PVST have attacks of tachycardia that can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. The abnormal heart rate originates in heart tissue other than the ventricles or lower chambers of the heart
