Sinopsis

A racing heart doesn't have to mean panic and uncertainty. If you've just been diagnosed with SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) — or you're the one sitting in the ER wondering why your heart suddenly took off — this book was written to answer the question most patients actually ask: now what do I do?

Written by a US board-certified cardiologist, this guide walks through everything patients and caregivers need to understand, in plain language, including:
• What SVT actually is — and why it's usually far less dangerous than it feels in the moment
• The different types of SVT — including AVNRT, AVRT, and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and how they differ
• What triggers episodes — and what doesn't
• How SVT is diagnosed — EKGs, monitors, and electrophysiology studies explained
• Treatment options — from vagal maneuvers you can do yourself to medications to catheter ablation, with realistic success rates and risks for each
• Living well with SVT — exercise, travel, work, pregnancy, mental health, and building a personal action plan
• A caregiver's guide — for the people supporting someone through this Each chapter includes real-world patient stories, myth-vs-fact breakdowns, checklists, and questions to bring to your own cardiologist — because understanding your condition is one of the most effective tools you have.

This book does not replace your doctor. It's meant to help you walk into that next appointment informed, ask better questions, and feel less alone with a diagnosis that can feel frightening until you understand it. If you've ever felt your heart suddenly race and wondered "what just happened to me?" — this book is where to start.
