what types of svt? please give answer in detail

[CCF CARDIO MD - DLB]

Dear Alison

I did not mean a specific type of SVT. I meant that in some people an SVT can be associated with a p wave. Most of the times when this occurs the relationship between the p wave and the main electrical deflection on the ECG (the QRS complex) is still abnormal, either in timing or duration.

I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to write back.
