A member asked:
Is svt episode that happens once a month and lasts 20-30 seconds 160bpm dangerous in a 17 year old patient with normal ekg and echo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not: That would be a nuisance but not dangerous. There are medications and procedures which could help to control it. It would be helpful to see the EKG during the episode. You should see a cardiologist.
