Is there any way to assess the cause? We have thrown all sorts of meds at stopping it, but I feel like there is something we are missing.
Megan, I don't have answers. SVT is not my issue, but initially with afib, the episodes commonly started around 3AM. My hypothesis was that it was vagally mediated. Back in the day we had a "Conference Room" for extended discussion of some topics. The archives are
here. You may wish to peruse the PDF's and see if anything strikes a chord. One of our members, Patrick Chambers, MD ("PC"), is a pathologist who thought deeply about these things. Here are links to some of his topics:
