Supraventricular Tachycardia in Pulmonary Hypertension. Cardiac electrophysiology clinics Nguyen, D. T., Scheinman, M. 2010; 2 (2): 317–19

Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension is a disease with significant morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by right-sided volume and pressure overload, which leads to structural changes and fibrosis in the right atrium, thus predisposing to supraventricular arrhythmias. This article presents a case discussion of supraventricular tachycardia in pulmonary hypertension. A 48-year-old woman, with a history of primary pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure, was admitted with a supraventricular tachycardia, hypotension, and congestive heart failure.
