Can someone live with both atrial flutter and svt?

Yes: You might need medications to reduce the heart rate or to prevent clot formation. You should see your doctor.

Svt: flutter is a type of svt, but if you have another type of svt as well, that will be a second type. Catheter ablation is a cure for most svt types- ask your doc please.
