Overview
Supraventricular tachycardia is a collective term used to describe all the tachycardias originating from the SA node, atrium and AV node. Therefore, the causes depend on the source of the pathology, and they are as follows:
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Common Causes
Causes Based on Pathophysiologic Origin
SVTs from a Sinoatrial Source
Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia
The cause of inappropriate sinus tachycardia is unknown. It is a diagnosis of exclusion after all the specific physiological and psychological triggers of sinus tachycardia have been excluded. The diagnosis of IST is based on the presence of a persistent and recurrent sinus tachycardia on EKG that is otherwise unexplainable.
Sinus Tachycardia
Sinoatrial Nodal Reentry Tachycardia
SVTs from an Atrial Source
Focal Atrial Tachycardia
- Acute stroke
- Albuterol
- Alcohol overdose
- Caffeine
- Cardiomyopathy
- Cocaine overdose
- Digitalis toxicity
- Hyperthyroidism
- Hypokalemia
- Hypomagnesemia
- Hypoxia
- Myocardial infarction
- Theophylline
Atrial Flutter
Atrial Fibrillation
Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia
SVTs from an Atrioventricular Source
AV Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia
- Familial atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia
- Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome
- Mahaim fiber tachycardia
- Mitral valve prolapse
- Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
