How dangerous is a avnrt for an athlete ?

Needs treatment: any person with AVNRT needs treatment by a cardiologist. An athlete that competes could face life threatening bouts of tachycardia or fast heart rate during exercise or at other times as well. Surgery or electrical ablation may be used to treat this heart conditionm
