A member asked:
I visited a doctor who thinks i have svt but is waiting for an attack to be caught on ecg before confirming diagnosis. how serious is svt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: in young, healthy women it is benign if truly SVT. Secondary causes must be evaluated however once the EKG evidence is there or you develop symptoms other than palpitations.
