Hello Fibbers: I had my Natale Index ablation for afbb and aflutter in late March 2017. I've been fb and flutter free I think ever since. Some slightly painful PVCs; hardly any PACs. But lately I've had a few evening runs of SVT; 5 seconds or so. I think it's SVT and not flutter because for many years, since my 20s, I had occasional SVTs and it feels like "that" -- especially given the shortness of the runs. (I'm 55 now, by the way.) Are these runs of tachycardia a concern? Or is it just the same thing I've had most of my life, unrelated to the ablated areas? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159373#msg-159373 Thu, 17 Sep 2026 10:58:01 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159431#msg-159431 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159431#msg-159431 Gobears AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 04 Dec 2017 18:51:16 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159400#msg-159400 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159400#msg-159400

In fact, flutter actually is SVT. SVT means supraventricular tachycardia, so any tachycardia originating in the atria is considered an SVT. There are three categories of SVTs:

• Atrial fibrillation
• Atrial flutter & atrial tachycardia.
• Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)

The last entry, PSVT, is what people usually mean when they say someone has SVT. SVT is further broken down into atrio-ventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and atrio-ventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT).]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 30 Nov 2017 22:51:21 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159375#msg-159375 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159375#msg-159375 wolfpack AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 30 Nov 2017 20:37:15 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159373#msg-159373 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,159373,159373#msg-159373
