How can supraventricular tachycardia affect your voice?

---

Hi, how can supraventricular tachycardia or medication for it affect your voice?
I can't see any obvious connection between the condition itself and the voice, but certain medications can dry out the protective mucosal layer covering the vocal cords and this would then affect the voice.

What drugs are you taking? Typical drugs to manage SVT probably wouldn't do this.  (+ info)

Is a sinus tachycardia a type of supraventricular tachycardia?

---

I have regular sinus tachycardia, but my cardiologist mentioned that I do NOT have any sort of arrhythmia of any kind. He previously gave me metoprolol, which didn't help much. Later he gave me metoprolol tartrate and it has been effective in slowing my pulse even if I take 15 mg (1/2 a tablet) a day. Do I have any sort of supraventricular tachycardia?

Thanks.
well technically sinus tachycardia is supraventricular tachycardia. the only difference is that with supraventricular tachycardia you do not see the p waves. the p waves are hidden in the t waves. but in sinus tachycardia you can see the p waves. let me summarize it like this. a sinus tachycardia will always be a supraventricular tachycardia but a supraventricular tachycardia will not always be a sinus tachycardia  (+ info)

Is Supraventricular Tachycardia a common thing?

---

I have Supraventricular tachycardia and I am the only person who has it in my entire school, how common is it?
  (+ info)

What are the risks if you do not treat Supraventricular Tachycardia?

---

I have previously been diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachyacardia 3 years ago, at the time I had the ablation done to stop the problem. My palpitations have started back up again and I am worried about taking any more action. I have seen a doctor and have been given Lanoxin and have not taken it. What are the risks if any involved with SVT if I choose not to have it fixed??
You risk possible heart failure. Are you ready for that?  (+ info)

Can someone tell me what supraventricular tachycardia is?

---

What are the causes and treatment?
the most common type of SVT is due to an extra electrical pathway in the heart - typical heart rate during an episode is 150-180 in adults over 200 in children. Most often this is treated with medications but can also be treated with surgical ablation of this extra path  (+ info)

Can Supraventricular Tachycardia keep you from joining the navy?

---

I'm not asking for myself. I'm curious because i'm trying to 'call someone's bluff.'

anyway.. i just need to know if this is something that could potentially keep you from being recruited, and also, someone who had this would deffinetly know about it, wouldnt they?
Yes it will. All military personnel need to be in peak physical condition. Supraventricular tachycardia can be controlled with medication and supervision by his doctor. The Navy is very unlikely to accept him with that condition.
God bless and keep you healthy.  (+ info)

Is it safe to be pregnant and for the baby if you have supraventricular tachycardia?

---

I am currently taking Toprol XL for my SVT. I am thinking of trying to get pregnant this year. I am too scared to get the ablation done, but if it is not safe to be pregnant and have SVT then I will only do it then. Just want to know if it has any effect on the baby or if it would get worse while I'm not taking my meds. (Before I was on meds, it would only come every other week or so but sometimes would last for hours)
Duh I'm going to ask my doctor! I just wanted to know if anyone knew any info on this in the meantime or if anyone has gone through this.
You should really ask a doctor, not someone on here who thinks they know the answer, but doesn't.  (+ info)

Supraventricular Tachycardia and excersize or sports?

---

The doctors are researching the idea of diagnosing me with SVT, but if I have it what is the treatment, life expectancy, and will I be able to play sports or excersize still-like everyday?
that's what i was just diagnosed with about a month ago. It should be ok once they find the right meds for you. It took about three weeks to get mine right, or at least so I felt better.
I teach aerobics and so far it has been fine, well after I got my medicine right, before that i couldn't do much due to being breathless ( and scared ) All my doctor told me not to run a marathon until after I see the cardiologist but I've been taking it kind of easy mostly due to fear of my heart racing.

You should probably take it easy for now until you can ask your doctor.  (+ info)

is there any way to cure supraventricular tachycardia without surgery?

---

i have this condition and ive had it since i was 6.
and im getting really tired of these random episodes.
please help.
I would ask your doctor about a beta blocker or another medication that can control your heart. I would also try to see what triggers these episodes. For me it was exercise induced; and I had to be careful about what I did. I did end up having the surgery, and I am happy that I did. However, I was having attacks daily that lasted for hours, so unless it is really serious, I would just ask about medication.  (+ info)

Is supraventricular tachycardia completely treatable?

---

i have svt, and i had a catheterization done last year, but i still get palpitations. obviously, i still have the disease. is it possible to get rid of it completely?
All forms of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are now potentially curable by surgery and we believe that patients should be offered surgery as an initial therapeutic option. At Westmead Hospital, 311 patients have undergone surgery for SVT, 13 having AV node ablation, a procedure now rarely performed, and 298 have had attempts at curative surgery. One hundred and ninety-nine patients were diagnosed primarily as having a Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) and 139 had free wall or anterior septal connections with a clinical cure rate of 98.0%. The failures were entirely due to unrecognised posterior septal connections. Sixty patients had primarily posterior septal connections with a clinical cure rate of 96%. Atrioventricular junctional re-entry tachycardia may now be cured, probably by dividing an extra nodal His-to-atrial connection. Seventy-eight patients have undergone surgery with a clinical cure rate of 92%. Fifteen patients with right atrial tachycardias, 4 patients with nodo-ventricular fibres and 2 with incessant AV tachycardia have undergone surgery. The overall clinical cure rate for all patients is 95% and 92% at late electro-physiological study (EPS).   (+ info)
