Supraventricular Tachycardia

« Back to Glossary Index

The rhythm is regular, the rate >100/min. P waves are not clearly identified. The QRS is usually narrow (unless there is aberrancy) or it may show a pre-existent conduction abnormality. If the rate is 150/min, consider atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction.
