Supraventricular Tachycardia Overview
Supraventricular tachycardia is one type of heart rhythm disorder.

Tachycardias are rhythm disorders in which the heart beats faster than normal.

Supraventricular means "above the ventricles," in other words, originating from the atria, the upper chambers of the heart.

Supraventricular tachycardia, then, is a rapid heartbeat originating in the atria.

These are sometimes referred to as atrial tachycardias. However, the atrioventricular (AV) node may be involved directly or indirectly, so AV nodal tachycardias are also included in this category.
