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.
Causes Based on Pathophysiology
SVTs from a Sinoatrial Source
SVTs from an Atrial Source
SVTs from an Atrioventricular Source
Combined List of Causes
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia
- The cause is unknown
- This is a diagnosis of exclusion after all the causes of sinus tachycardia have been excluded.
