The diagnosis is confirmed if ECG tracing showed SVT. In your case, panic attack triggers this arrhythmia and if this behavior disorder is under control SVT won't occur. Most often, people have sinus tachycardia during panic attack but not SVT. The causal relationship between SVT, if confirmed, and panic attack should be clarified because SVT and panic attack have similar clinical manifestations.
