Q: what causes a low hr and high bp. i have atrial tachycardia and resting pr ave 54, bp ave 110/66. however had episodes of chest discomfort when hr drops to 50 but bp 160/97 or higher. visited ed, hsctn was 9 initially, <5 after 6 hrs.

Low HR, high BP: Are you taking a beta blocker to treat paroysmal supraventricular tachycardia? If so, it would explain the slow pulse. If not, some patients have bradycardia tachycardia syndrome but are often treated with beta blockers. Is a cardiologist involved for treatment and to investigate the chest distress to look for cause? What does hsctn signify'. A cardiologist is best to evaluate and treat you.

Q: have ectopic atrial tachycardia.is it someting u are born with or can it develope over time?if the latter what can cause it?came after extreme stress

Happens: If it is truly ectopic atrial tachycardia as opposed to reentry tachycardia, it IS something that just happens over time and is usually due to extreme stress and/or cardiac stimulants such as nicotine/caffeine/asthma meds/amphetamines. A betablocker often will help. Reentry tachy requires that you're born with the predisposition, &amp; can be treated with meds or ablation.

Q: what's causes atrial tachycardia , i'm 30 f started noticing fast heart in july hosp first thought was cardiomyopathy according to my ecgs?

Need more data: The list of causes is long, including hypertension, cardiomyopathy, valve problems, coronary heart disease, thyroid disease and electrical problems of the heart. Tests used to assess the problem include blood tests, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and holter monitor test, among others.

Q: is there a?difference between atrial tachycardia and junctional tachycardia?

Yes.: These are two different rhythms. Atrial tachycardia is an abnormal rhythm originating from either the left or right atrium. Junctional tachycardia is an abnormal rhythm originating from the av node. Neither is more dangerous than the other. The treatments will be different, usually.

Q: is there a difference between focal atrial tachycardia and av nodal re-entrant tachycardia?

Yes: Avnrt is due to an extra electrical pathway in the junction between upper and lower chambers that your born with. Whereas focal at is acquired and usually due to some scarring. Both ca be managed medically or potential cured by catheter ablation.

Q: what to do if i have atrial tachycardia and was wondering if i would be able to get a cool adventurous job?

Why not: Atrial tachycardia is common in people. When we get excited, frightened, run or do something strenuous. In most cases it will not interfere with our job related activities if it is mild. If you have another kind of tachycardia, then you need to give us a more definite diagnosis.

Question 1

what causes atrial tachycardia w/aberrant conduction in a young person?

Accepted Answer

There are many: causes of atrial tachycardia in a young person but most likely this is a physiological response to some form of stimulation. Anxiety, excitement, dehydration, fever can all be associated with this. The aberrant conduction is a reflection of normal physiology if the heart rate is fast enough or could represent a minor abnormality of the conduction system.

Question 2

how uncommon us atrial tachycardia and what causes it to start?

Accepted Answer

Common: It's surprisingly common and can occur in normal hearts in the absence of heart disease. It can be caused by cardiac stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, amphetamine, alcohol, and certain medicines like bronchodilators, atropine, and adrenalin.  Thyroid excess can cause it. Stress and lack of sleep can contribute. It occurs for no recognized reason in some.

Question 3

can taking a vit d3 supplement cause svt/atrial tachycardia?

Accepted Answer

: Multiple studies and meta-analysis have shown that vitamin D DEFICIENCY can cause atrial fibrillation.  Taking a vitamin D supplement would cure vitamin D deficiency, if properly monitored by your physician, and is highly unlikely to cause SVT or atrial tachycardia.

Question 4

if u have ectopic atrial tachycardia, does the ectopic signal cause the ventricles to beat too? and what's the difference with reentry tachycardia?

Accepted Answer

EAT: Atrial tachycardia, regardless of mechanism, conducts to the ventricles. The main issue with any form of atrial tachycardia is that the rapid ventricular rate can result in annoying symptoms and, if fast and persistent, can eventually weaken the heart. The difference between EAT and reentry is one of mechanism.  (ie how the electrical impulse is conducted). Incessant EAT requires treatment.

Question 5

what causes a low hr and high bp.   i have atrial tachycardia and resting pr ave 54, bp ave 110/66. however had episodes of chest discomfort when hr drops to 50 but bp 160/97 or higher. visited ed,   hsctn was 9 initially, <5 after 6 hrs.
