Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is episodes of rapid heart rate that start in a part of the heart above the ventricles. "Paroxysmal" means from time to time. In PSVT, an abnormal electrical pathway causes the heart to beat faster than normal. Episodes of rapid heart rate can last from a few minutes to several hours. A person with PSVT can have a heart rate as high as 250 beats per minute (bpm). ... PSVT can cause uncomfortable symptoms, but it's not usually life-threatening. Supraventricular tachycardia is a rapid heartbeat that develops when the normal electrical impulses of the heart are disrupted. There may be symptoms like heart palpitations or there may be no symptoms at all. Certain manoeuvres, medication, an electrical shock to the heart (cardioversion) and catheter-based procedures (ablation) can help slow the heart.
