A member asked:
If an svt lasts for 16 beats; is that bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
16 beats of SVT would be considered a short run. SVT isn't usually life threatening. If you have repeated bursts or frequent symptomatic PAC's your cardiologist may consider treating you with beta blockers. Thyroid OK? EKG and echocardiogram normal? Take any stimulants? Avoid alcohol and excess caffeine. Avoid stress and get good sleep.
