arrhythmias

many arrhythmias
by wmac, 5 minutes ago
I have been on here many times over the years. I have nsvt, svt, pac's pvc's aivr and now the cardio just to told me I also have atrial arrhythmias as well. I dont understand the difference between artrial tachycardia and svt. Also how many different ones can a person have and still be ok. I have had three eps with hopes of ablation with the nsvt no luck they also tried to induce the svt and no luck. They know i have all these arrhythmias because i have worn so many heart monitors even had a loop recorder for 10 months implanted. Im not on any meds. Tried toporol back in 05 three very small doses and the third day had the worst nsvt run had loop recorder in at the time so it got recorded. Im just concerned as what to do here and my out look. All the cardios and ep docs say I have normal healthy heart ef normal millions of test. What do I do? I just dont understand the difference between the atrial and svt  tachycardias.
Thanks in advance

Atrial tacyhcardia is actually a type SVT.  There is also AVNRT and AVRT. I found a really fun website yesterday that describes the differenty arrythmias in terms of ducks. It is http://www.mauvila.com/ECG/ecg_premature.htm

Another website I found useful to explain different types of arrythmias is:

Hope this helps.
