In this video, we explain SVT in a simple, step-by-step way, making it easy for medical students, doctors, nurses, and the general public to understand. You’ll learn: ✔ What supraventricular tachycardia is ✔ Why SVT causes sudden palpitations ✔ Types of SVT (AVNRT, AVRT, Atrial Tachycardia) ✔ SVT ECG findings explained clearly ✔ Vagal m

🌡️ When Your Heart Hits 200 Beats per Minute: Understanding SVT 💓Ever felt like your heart might burst out of your chest? That heart-pounding sensation can be more than just nerves—it could be Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT). This rapid, intense heart rhythm can spike your heart rate to over 200 beats per minute, leaving you short of breath, dizzy, and feeling out of control. Today, we’re diving into a powerful technique to calm your heartbeat: the Modified Valsalva Maneuver. 🧘‍♀️🩺🔹 What

Understanding Heart Sounds! As doctors, mastering auscultation is key to early diagnosis. Let's quickly review the normal and abnormal heart sounds: S1 (Lub): Marks the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves, signifying the start of systole. S2 (Dub): Marks the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves, signifying the start of diastole. 🚨 Now, for the pathological ones: S3 (Ventricular Gallop): In adults, often a sign of left ventricular failure, caused by rapid ventricular filling in earl

💓 Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) is a fast heartbeat that starts in the upper chambers of the heart, causing symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath. But how do you diagnose SVT on an ECG and treat it effectively? 🫀✨ Check out our new YouTube video where Matt from @Scope_Education_ breaks it all down covering key symptoms, ECG findings, and treatment strategies for SVT. Boost your ECG skills and learn practical tips for managing this common arrhythmia! Watch now at ht

supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a fast heart rate caused by abnormal electrical impulses above the ventricles. It's an important condition for paramedics to recognise, as it often requires a pre-alert and blue light transfer to the hospital to slow the heart rate down. We cover how to identify SVT on an ECG, the common symptoms it can cause, and how it can sometimes present with a broad QRS complex, making it difficult to distinguish from ventricular tachycardia.#SVT #SupraventricularTachy
