Overview

Underlying structural heart disease is generally absent. Often, there is no precipitant of an episode. Risk factors for precipitation of AVNRT include: Alcohol, anemia, anxiety, caffeine, chocolate, fever, hyperthyroidism, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypoxia, myocardial ischemia, menstruation, psychological stress, pulmonary embolism, stimulants, tea, theobromine in foods like tea, coffee and chocolate, and theophylline.
