Can secondary hypothalmic problems be a cause of PSVT's or SVT's?
Is the treatment the same if the problem arises from the hypothalmic interruptions?
Thank you.

Dear cindy,
Thank you for your question. Could you define what you mean by "secondary hypothalmic problems" and "hypothalmic interruptions". These are not terms I am familiar with. Could you also clarify what type of treatment you are referring to for hypothalamic interruptions. There is some experimental literature concerning arrhythmias and the hypothalmus but I am not aware of any therapeutic interventions involving the brain.
