A member asked:
Is it at all, ever possible for afib to be misdiagnosed as svt or vice versa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is not uncommon for these 2 supraventricular dysrhythmias to be missdiagnosed. Atrial fibrillatory P waves may be very low amplitude on the EKG or the irregularity of the ventricular response may be almost regular causing the misdiagnosis.
