Classification

SVTs can be classified in a number of ways. One way to classify them is via their electrophysiologic origin:

SVTs from a Sinoatrial Source

• Sinus tachycardia
• Inappropriate sinus tachycardia
• Sinoatrial nodal reentry tachycardia (SANRT)

SVTs from an Atrial Source

• (Unifocal) Atrial tachycardia (AT)
• Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT)
• Atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response
• Atrial flutter with a rapid ventricular response

SVTs from an Atrioventricular Source

• AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT)
• AV reentrant tachycardia (AVRT)
• Junctional tachycardia
  • Accelerated junctional rhythm
  • Junctional ectopic tachycardia
