A member asked:
What does it mean if heart monitor showed multiple short runs of svt? caught 30 on 24 hr monitor. lasted only a few seconds, but this seems like a lot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Svt runs: SVT refers to an irritable focus in the upper heart chamber(atrium) that starts firing premature heart beats. Short runs usually means less than several beats in a row. Multiple runs suggests that this happened often during the monitoring period. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for evaluation, and treatment. Testing includes a heart exam, EKG, echocardiogram, thyroid testing, stress test
